We are starting off 2022 with this iconic book review written by Gavin De Becker

This book has a wealth of information on how to recognize the danger signals that are meant to protect you. This instinct is a gift that we must learn to appreciate and use in our daily life.

What makes some people successful and not others?

Do you have to be born lucky or smart or a combination of both?

Or is it a matter of being born with the right connections?

This very popular book dives into these questions and the author has some very insightful theories that he discusses.

This is an exciting episode for Urdu Pun

Allama Iqbal is considered one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers born in the subcontinent. His concept of self or خودی is widely known but I doubt it is understood well.

I wanted to engage in a discussion to understand what it means and how it is still very much relevant to our society today.

So I invited someone who I consider to be an expert given her history as a teacher and student of Urdu in Pakistan.

That is my mother Mrs. Rukhsana.

I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion and I hope you share your thoughts with us as well

July and August have been hectic with a move. This month we are talking about the book, Give and Take by Adam Grant.

Are you a loser for sharing or giving your time, resources, etc to those who need them? This book answers this question with a lot of research and concrete examples to follow.
