So, the next book that I could get both my eyes and hands on to was the “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life” by Mark Manson. What a catchy title! As it so happened this time too when I picked up the book, I said to myself that I will not be writing any book review. However, I will rate the reasons in the review as to why I decided to write this review and share with the everyone.

Before I begin with the review, let me start by saying that this is the first time I had a book written by Mark Manson in my hands. He is a well known personality.

Gaming heaven in India..Naahh..now a reality!

-->
How many of us have seen dedicated gaming heavens in India? I can wager that the number would be less than handful. Why? Hmm…primarily because there isn’t one gaming heaven in India that can be compared to the ones present at western countries. All that we have here in India are those old, obsolete machines adjacent to food courts in almost every other mall. But, even they manage to be attractive and are a money minter for mall authorities.
Now comes the good news. All this will soon fade away and be a thing of the past. I was surfing online and came across this article at the gamingindians.com, which talks about this new gaming zone that has come up at Chennai. It is called “Blur”. This largely untapped segment of World class gaming zones is tapped by “Sathyam Cinemas” which has launched “Blur – India’s finest Gaming Zone”. Blur is a massive gaming lounge spread out over 15,000 square feet at the Sathyam Complex in Chennai.
