Book Review: Me Before You

-


' Me Before You' tells the story of the quirky Louisa Clark, who unfortunately lost her job and is seeking a new one. This is how she crosses paths with Will Traynor, who devastatingly became paralysed after a motorcycle accident.  Traynor turns into a pessimist and no longer finds joy in anything. Louisa enters his life as his new caregiver.  The book wonderfully covers the relationship that blossoms between the two of them.

 Jojo Moyes writes in a way that makes you feel connected to the characters and she is powerful enough to make you feel what her characters feel.  She makes you think about what would happen and how you’d feel in that type of situation. She tells us about the mystery that is human nature and how we are happier with certain people around. The story infuses romance into the fact that a person's life can change at any moment.  

Me Before You

 Although the story has unique circumstances, relatability has crept into the book. The characters are flawed. This makes them much more likeable and realistic. Moyes' writing flows easily but also gives a lot of detail. It’s mainly written from Louisa’s point of view,  which I think brings the reader closer to her character and makes it more emotional as she experiences the different parts of her journey. The story addresses many problems that most people would look over or not really imagine would be a problem, which I think brings a new light towards these circumstances. This novel is bound to make you reach for tissues.

 To say that this novel is an emotional roller-coaster would be an understatement. It is a devastatingly beautiful book. Although the book belongs to the romance genre, it has beautifully captured the difficulties and smallest joys of life.

BCG Matrix and P-M Grid - Royal Enfield

  There is not one person in this world who doesn't know the magnanimous biking industry ie, Royal Enfield. There is nothing that is not regal about it. Everything about it is legendary.   1901 marked the entry of the first RE motorcycle into the market. Before becoming the famous bike that it is, Royal Enfield was a brand that sold mainly motorcycles, bicycles, lawnmowers, and stationary engines which they manufactured all by themselves. Like I said before, Enfield started selling bikes in 1901 and cars in 1902. Royal Enfield motorcycles had been sold in India since 1949. In 1955, the Redditch company joined Madras Motors in India to form "Enfield India". We all know that the Indian government used these vehicles for police and army purposes ie, for patrolling the country's border. Royal Enfield is also distinctive in its logo with a cannon and a tagline of "Made like a gun". This logo shows the heritage of the Enfield Company.  While looking at the journey

A tale of Muslim Minorities

 A recent Research Center report documented the highest level of government restrictions on the free practice of religion worldwide in more than a decade. The Middle East and North Africa, continues to have the highest prevalence of government restrictions, while Asia showed a sharp increase in the use of force against religious groups, including property damage, detention, displacement, other forms of abuse, and killings. While Christians were targeted in 145 countries worldwide in 2018, according to the study, Muslims came in close behind, facing harassment in 139 countries. But while Christians face serious repression in much of the world, government actions against Muslims were greater in scope and scale, impacting hundreds of millions of people.  It is clear that no other community faces as high a level of government repression as Muslims—not just in certain countries where they are a minority, such as China and India, but also in places where Islam is the state religion and its

Corporate organizational behavior

Individuals bring a number of differences to work. They have a variety of personalities, values, and attitudes. When they enter into organizations, their stable or transient characteristics affect how they behave and perform. Moreover, companies hire people with the expectation that they have certain knowledge, skills, abilities, personalities, and values. Building and cultivating relationships is an integral part of any career strategy. Whether you are a job seeker, manager or entrepreneur, you are in the relationship business. When it comes to building relationships you must start with self knowledge, and that starts with personality. The study of personality is fundamentally about asking: Who am I? I know it sounds cliché, but before you can effectively reach outward to others, you have to be able to look inward. The study of personality provides some great insights into how to do this.   Personality can be tough to define; from the four temperaments of Hippocrates (choleric, melanc
