My Ratings: 3.8/5
A feminist & fun read. Ella is such a fiercely independent yet vulnerable protagonist that we immediately like her and are drawn to read her story. Read this one for its slice of life element and light humour. |
What I liked about the book:
—> Ella’s bond with her guy best friend , Haris.
—> The family bonding and relationships, even between Aarush and his mother, though they’re not the main family in focus.
—> The way the whole smuggling mystery unfolds and how the culprit turns out to be so unpredictable.
—> The dialogues, which highlight and bring home the point that running a business isn’t and should not be a gender based thing. Love how progressive Ela’s whole family is shown in this particular ideology.
Quotable and chuckle worthy quotes:
—> You can’t just stand idle here – everyone moves fast. You should keep moving, no matter what. Because if you don’t move, you will be left alone in the middle of the odds and unknowns. ( lines about Kolkata but resonates which every Indian urban city)
—> Try to know your clients properly, even if they are annoying.A good businessman always knows his clients well.
—> Tea and I have a perfect relationship that starts with the heart and ends up on the lips.
—> Joining My father’s busies was a sudden decision. It was as accidental as Dr. Manmohan Singh becoming the Prime Minister of India.
—> I kept quiet. Actually, I lacked vocabulary.
—> Buying books online is like eating biryani without that soft potato.
—> Girls not only need protection from their father, they also need to give protection to their father’s empire.
—> When you are too busy enjoying the present, you forget the past and don’t get time to think about the future.
—> Sometimes, you achieve more by going against your aim.
—> Gender doesn’t matter in business, Ella. It’s your brain that works there. Keep your brain clean and work hard.
