Smoke And Mirrors by Pallavi Aiyar - Book With Me
In this book, Pallavi Aiyar reflects on her five years in China, from 2002 to 2007. Though some parts are now outdated, much of her experience remains relevant today.
Aiyar begins as a young Indian woman teaching English at the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, initially knowing little about Chinese politics or culture. Over time, she witnesses China’s rise as the world’s 4th largest economy. Her first encounter with Chinese society is through her students, who study journalism in a country with strict press controls-quite different from India’s chaotic but free media. Her attempts to discuss controversial topics reveal that her students are more concerned with personal freedoms, such as fas...

Great review thanks
Thanks for such an adept,deep insightful review.Definitely would make it to next read after reading 'tuesdays with Morrie' and 'the last lecture' recently especially grieving with the loss of loved friend.Glad came across this recommendation while embarking on journey of life's purpose to know 'who am i'
Good for the start Mehak but I think having some visuals like those 12 points on a visual displayed by your side would be great !
Hi Akash. Thank you for the feedback. I have been meaning to learn an editing software to be able to do this. Your comment motivated me. Hopefully soon 🤞
Sounds wonderful- thank you. I will be checking it out ✨👌
Thank you. It's really a sweet book.

Glad u did this one!!! I will surely get it delivered for me. However Amazon n flipkart seems to run out of stock of its physical copy
Thank you 😊 Yes, I see it is out of stock at the moment.
You explained the book really smoothly. You are really good at explaining.
Thank you. This means a lot. Hope you enjoy reading the book.
Mam can you use a good microphone, it's hard to listen to
Hi. I have started using the microphone in my recent videos. Thank you for feedback.
Thank you dear ma'am for such a detailed explanation of the book. Please keep informing us regarding great classics. Regards Deepak Kumar

Appended! Thanks. Way, way long that I read anything in this genre. Perhaps the world is beyond repair for such titles to be of any real value. But, will try and pick up! 🙂
I think what books do is give you hope. And this book exactly does that! No harm trying 😉 Let me know how you find it.

Amazing!!!! Good job 👍

I think you're a little emotional in this video I guess by just watching you speaking some words and pause.... Great Content..... Started watching you just after randomly seen your one video on Maria Book......
Hi. Thank you so much. Hope you enjoy the reviews. I think I had too many thoughts about this book in my mind. Hence the pauses.
I don't like magic in books at all. I wonder whether this story just has a magic-like sensation or inspiration because of the narration style or is it based upon magic?
It doesn't have magic in the way you are thinking. Not based on magic. It is the writing style.
@@MehakSareenReads great, thx for the quick answer!
@@MoonshineBeauty My pleasure.
Thanks for the book review. One thing I have understood that the chapter '20 signs your are doing better in life' is going to describe me how poor I am in 20 different ways.😊 So not gonna order this until I overcome this phase of life. The reason is simple. If the book is trying to cheer me up with some achievements that actually I haven't achieved, then they are going to create more depressive thoughts.
Hi Deekshita. Thank you for your comment. Your comment cracked me up 😅 The good news is that the 20 signs listed is not what the society defines as 'success'. I am listing some for you here: - You paid the bills and even spent a little on non-essentials. - You question yourself. - You have a job. - You have time to do things you enjoy. Even if it is sitting on the couch and watching Netflix. - You are not worried about where your next meal is coming from. - You can eat because you can enjoy it. It's not a matter of sheer survival. - You have one or two close friends - You can afford a subway ride, a coffee, a movie ticket - You are not the same person you were a year ago - You have a selection of clothing at your disposal - You have lost relationships - You can sense what isn't right in your life......... Hope this helps 😀
Thanks!🍵
Glad you liked it :)
Hi! Im new to your channel and im exploring through your videos and i just cant stop!! I just love your explanations on books. Thank you.💖
Hi. Thank you so much. Means a lot to me. What are you reading at the moment?
@@MehakSareenReads you're welcome! Okay, so I'm reading the "maze runner" series right now but I wanted to take a break from it so I read "she and her cat" and came to watch your video! I also recommend you to watch the animation film of the same book it's really good!
@Shrq. Oh I didn't know there was an anime movie around this book. What is it called?
actually it's a mini series, I made Mistake, calling it a film. And it's called "she and her cat: everything flows" 2016.
@Shrq. Thank you. I will check it out 😊
Have a good day ~🍵
You too have a good day 😊
🙏🙏
Thanks a lot I always lose track of characters and names 😂
Yeah me too😅
You should checkout "The Stranger Times by C K McDonnell" It's a fun urban fantasy book set in Manchester, England
Thank you. I will check it out. Sounds like fun 😊
It's a crime to have such a low view and subscribe count when your reviewing skill quite analutical and well put out. Keep growing. This is definitely going to be one of my fav indian book tube channel
Thank you so much. Means a lot to me.
Your book review makes me want this book more and more. 😊
Hi. Thank you so much. It's a wonderful read. And if you love books and the idea of a community around it, this one is a treat.
I have this book too Diane's writing is poetry style it's a very wonderful book it's little rare to see this book review wow ❤
Thank you. I enjoyed the writing style too. Not your conventional fiction style. 😊
Is the story beginner-friendly? How is the language? is it too difficult or fine for a beginner?
Hi. This is not a beginner friendly book. Language is not too difficult. But too many characters introduction can make the prose confusing if you are a beginner.
@@MehakSareenReads okay thankyou. Can you suggest some beginner friendly fiction?
10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston. You will love it!
@@MehakSareenReads thanks will surely read it
Beautiful..Thank you for sharing the insights, Mehak..
Hi. Thank you. Glad you found it helpful.
I really appreciate your review but explaining the content as it is decreases the charm of reading a new book rather it's better to explain the points in more thematic manner while covering the same point.
Hi. Thank you for the feedback. Makes sense. I shall do that.
Your video is so boring that it is very much obvious you don't have a way/strategy to explain what you're trying to say about the book... It is like you're talking to yourself most of the time....
@arunn848 Hi Arun. Thank you for the feedback. Duly noted. I will try making my book reviews interesting :)
@@MehakSareenReads Thanks sorry that was just my point of view...
@arunn848 No problem. Have a good day!
Keep it up..
Thank you so much 😊
Valuable one.
Thank you 😊
Good job mam ❤ God bless you
