The Mughal High Noon-ascent of Aurangzeb

By
This book tells you the very anitcipated story of how Aurangzeb, out of all the others became the ruler of hindustan after shah jahan was considered unfit.
This book will also tell you how much witty and cunning Aurangzeb whilst giving you a perfect mixture of hatred and love for Aurangzeb.
As idiotic as it may sound, Aurangzeb was pushed back by all the strongest rebel forces that being;

  1. Dara- through the imperial side
  2. Shah Shuja- through the eastern provinces of bengal 
  3. Murad- from the western side of gujarat 
and Emperor Shah Jahan himself. 

But he managed to outwit all of them and also he became the successor instead of Dara Shikoh

I would rate the book as: 

  • Reading experience: 7/10
  • Clarity of text: 6/10
  • Characteristic intelligence: 10/10 ( Aurangzeb it is, what do you expect?) 
  • Worth the time and money ( after all time is money right?): 8/10
  • Overall:7/10
This book only lost its reviews because the text was not clear and i found multiple mistakes here and there. 

But, this book is a must read and i would recommend it to all history lovers! 





Jai Hind!

Football crazy  Dev malhotra woke up once again on a fine and sunny Sunday ready for a football match which he has been waiting and practicing for more than a month now..........................the match was scheduled on 7:00p.m (sharp) at the close by deserted ground.He called his father again to practice for the last time before the match starts,  at the ground as he wanted to play like never before.Motivation for the entire effort  was an awesome phone his Dad would gift ,if they won.He was eagerly waiting for the phone e was wanting from long back.When he was small,he used to get denied of a cellular phone because his parents used to always advice him that "too much exposure to technology will get your concentration out of studies".He also called up his best friend,John for the football practice. They all started in dev's car to the ground.After reaching,they immediately started doing goal practice.john was an expert in goal keeping and dev's dad in his

The Flash- Run Iris, Run Review

By
What's new about this Flash episode? The Flash isn't the Flash for a major part of the episode. Barry allen loses his speed because of a Meta-Human who unwillingly touches Iris and Barry at the same time interchanging their molecular DNA connected to the SpeedForce. So, the episode was pretty. Agreed, it was hyped more than it needed because half the time Iris was lying down screaming for help. But it was fun seeing Barry sit down and relax for a change. This episode had a major change in Cisco's attitude towards Harry and it was nice to see them work together. Though, they can give Killer Frost / Caitlyn more screentime. This episode was a nice addition the already ongoing war between DeVoe and Team Flash. But not worthy enough for the 3 week break . Anyways, enjoy the break. Which is after the Winter Olympics break. Which was after the 2 week long break. P. S. Dont break your head.

Losing Wordpress

Okay lets face it guys. Wordpress is the worlds most used blog hosting service. But there is something that Wordpress isn't really good at, which happens to be security. Now, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, security is defined as: "    measures taken to guard against espionage or sabotage, crime, attack, or escape "  In this case, we are dealing with highly professional hackers who are powerful and knowledgeable enough to hack into the US power grid.  so, what do we do?  We are going to learn how and why they do it.  An average day on wordpress sees around 500,000 views new posts . How do they hack it?  41%- hosting and PC malware 29%- Themes 8%- weak passwords like "helloDaddy"  22%- Plugins which are not verified  Why do they hack "your" stuff?  1. For Status in society  2. To get useful data from you  3.For fun, because who would not want to ruin competition?  4.To eliminate you, as in k
