The person does not want to contact her, though he is harassing all the persons she is interacting with, especially shopowners, getting some of the shops closed. Also in life, the reviewer like others interact with others once, for a few days or months, years and then the person disappears from our lives. Re-establishing contact is a challenge, but usually if one person is interested they can always at least get the contact details, try to contact at least once.
So the book, You’ve got the wrong girl, is interesting because it show how people will spend a lot of time and money, if they really wish to establish contact with anyone. The book author Dushyant Rathore, has a one night stand with a beautiful woman in Agra, where his best friend Vikram Saxena is marrying his ex girlfriend the wealthy heiress Anjali Raizada.

Review : Point of View 0
In India, the success of a person depends to a large extent on the family background and also the personal life. Individuals from upper middle class families and wealthy communities are more likely to succeed, government agencies do not make fake allegations against them without any proof for a decade or more. Also professionals who are married with children are also more like to succeed, while single professionals especially older women like the reviewer are openly subjected to fraud by powerful government employees who misuse their name, steal their resume, though these greedy government employees have never contacted the single woman professional anytime in their life.
Point of View is the story of two generations of a family from Punjab/haryana settled in Delhi. The reviewer is not very familiar with the various communities in north india, but from their lifestyle it is the story of upper middle class brother who professionals, excelling in their areas of specialization. The elder brother Vinod Anand specializes in market research to help companies sell more products, and has a large number of employees. The younger brother Vijay Anand is a psychotherapist, who uses the latest techniques to help people from different backgrounds resolve their problems.
However, the book focusses more on the personal life of the two brothers and their family, how the brothers met their wives and married them. Both the brothers chose their wives, they did not have the conventional ‘arranged marriage’ A few decades ago, before the internet was available, most young people only interacted with their neighbours or their professional associates. The elder brother Vinod marries Kiran, the daughter of his professor in Mumbai, where he studied. Vijay likes and marries Kalpana who was his neigbour for some time.
Though younger people have more freedom compared to their parents, they still lead fairly conventional lives. Young women rarely go out alone, usually a cousin or relative will accompany them. The book then covers the personal life and affairs of the next generation of the Anand family, the brothers children, Vivek, Kaya, Kangana and Vikas. Since Vikas is young, the book mainly covers the romance of Vivek, Kaya and Kangana, they meet their partners socially. Vivek likes and wishes to marry Palak, the daughter of Lalit Kohli, but her parents receive a proposal from a close family friend. Since it is an arranged marriage, when Palak informs her parents, they inform the family friend, who understands the predicament, and does not let it affect the relationship.
Briefly the book also provides a glimpse of how market research and psycotherapists function. Like most experts, they publish books. Also investing in property is very lucrative, the brothers are able to open large offices/clinics, and also build a bungalow for each family. Like most upper class families they have a retinue of servants including a cook to attend to all the household work, the housewives are mainly managing the servants. Also functions like marriages are celebrated on a grand scale, with beauticians and other staff being hired. The term ring ceremony is being used to describe engagement.
Since the capital of india is located in delhi, many of the influential decision makers are from surrounding states like haryana and punjab. The reviewer has mainly lived in western india, where the lifestyle and attitude is very different, she has not interacted much with north indians. So this book is a good way to understand the lifestyle, mindset of people from North India, so that it is easier to deal with them. This book is recommended for those who want to get a glimpse of the life of wealthy and successful North indian professionals.
Kindly note that government employees and their associates like greedy goan bhandari scammer sunaina chodan, siddhi mandrekar, housewife robber riddhi nayak caro, kolhapur/panaji sindhi scammer school dropout naina premchandani, her scammer sons karan, nikhil, bengaluru brahmin cheater housewife nayanshree,indore robber housewife bespectacled deepika/veena, haryana scammer mba hr ruchika kinge, stock trader amita patel are not associated with the blog in any way, since they do not spend any time reading, writing yet make fake claims after stealing data, in a cybercrime beating Anthony Levandowski’s data theft from Google

Review : Twenty nine going on thirty, Author Andaleeb Wajeed 0
Though the domain investor, online publisher registered her first domain in 2002, and owns more than 400 domains, the indian internet sector refuses to acknowledge her in a major financial,online fraud, falsely claiming that this and other domains belong to google, tata sponsored lazy greedy fraud raw/cbi employees who do not spend any money on domains at all and do not control them. This government slavery, online fraud is because the domain investor is an engineer, she has never worked in any internet or tech company as an employee
So the book “Twenty nine going on Thirty” by Andaleeb Wajeed is interesting because it is set in a tech company. The main protagonist Priya is heading the social media section of a software company. The book shows how most companies are working they have plenty of employees and interns for doing comparatively less work. In contrast the domain investor is managing and other websites alone, yet since 2010, she is victim of government SLAVERY, with the government falsely claiming that various google, tata sponsored lazy greedy fraud raw/cbi employees who do not spend any time, and also do not even contact the domain investor are doing the work, to pay all these frauds a monthly government salary at the expense of the domain investor who is spending her time daily.
The book also highlights the problem faced dealing with interns, many of them are extra smart, and will openly ridicule and harass their boss. They will also refuse to do what they asked, if they do not feel that their boss is smart. This exposes the goa government, indian internet sector fraud of falsely giving panaji greedy goan bhandari raw employee scammer sunaina chodan, sindhi scammer brothers karan, nikhil premchandani, siddhi mandrekar, greedy goan gsb fraud robber riddhi nayak caro who do no computer work, credit and monthly salaries only for making fake claims in a clear case of government slavery.
In her personal life also Priya is facing a problem, since she is twenty nine and is not yet married, making her worried. In india women who are not married are facing a lot of harassment socially and their professional life is also affected. This problem has worsened in the last decade, and the government agencies encourage everyone to criminally defame, cheat, exploit, rob hardworking single women professionals
Priya is sharing her house with a friend Farida in Bangalore and is facing legal problems with her relatives who are harassing her. This exposes the raw/cbi/ntro fraud of falsely giving google, tata sponsored indore robber raw employee bespectacled housewife deepika, who robbed the domain investor, credit and monthly salary for faking domain ownership, robbing the domain investor,just because she is a relative. When the relative has caused so much harm, why should she get credit and a monthly salary at the expense of the domain investor whose life she destroyed.
Another interesting aspect the book highlights is how smartphones are getting damaged very quickly, since people carry them everyone, and often spill water, food on the smartphone, destroying the electronics. So many people are spending Rs 13000-15000 periodically to replace their damaged smartphone.
Kindly note that india’s greatest domain fraudster the greedy gujju stock broker raw employee amita patel, featured in moneycontrol, hindu business line,who charges Rs 6 lakh per person for stock training, haryana scammer mba hr ruchika kinge, bengaluru brahmin cheater nayanshree hathwar and other raw/cbi employees are not associated with the website in any way, though google, tata, indian tech and internet companies allegedly running india’s biggest sex, bribery racket since 2010, are making fake claims to get all the frauds monthly raw/cbi salaries at the expense of the real domain investor
To cover up the government SLAVERY, financial fraud in the indian internet sector since 2010, the domain investor is isolated completely, especially in panaji, goa with all her correspondence being stolen by the google,tata sponsored raw/cbi employees panaji greedy goan bhandari raw employee scammer sunaina chodan, sindhi scammer brothers karan, nikhil premchandani, their school dropout mother naina premchandandani siddhi mandrekar, greedy goan gsb fraud robber riddhi nayak caro running an extortion racket.
So this book is interesting as it gives a glimpse of the life of young people working in internet companies.

Review: Paradise towers, Author: Shweta Bachchan-Nanda 0
Though real estate agents will consider the location while choosing a home, one of the main factors a person should consider especially if the person is single, old or a woman is the neighbors in the area. For example the domain investor was living in a middle class area of mumbai, yet because the people in the area were tolerant she did not face major problems. In contrast though the domain investor has a mailing address in one of the poshest areas of panaji, she is facing many problems because the some of the high status respectable people like the sindhi scammer schooldropout naina premchandani, her scammer sons karan, nikhil and her xerox shop owning husband pran premchandani, goan bhandari sunaina chodan, teacher edith are scammers, liars openly involved in real estate, banking fraud, criminal trespassing, robbery,killing the plants. The repeated killing of the plants shows the extreme hatred.
“Paradise towers” is the story of the lives of people living in a residential building. Like most residential complexes in Mumbai, the building has people from different parts of the country and different religions. They often organize functions where the people living in the building interact with each other.
Mrs Mody is the oldest resident of the building and is living with her servant Patrick. She was the first resident of the building with her husband, and was monitoring activities in the building using binoculars. One day she is found dead presumably from a heart attack. However, the police inspector investigating the case finds that Patrick has given her an overdose of sleeping pils due to which she dies. Her pet parrot helps in solving the mystery of her death.
This shows the problem faced by senior citizens who are relying on servants for help and blindly trust them. The servants are aware that the senior citizens are completely dependent and helpless, so they often take advantage of them, tampering with their food, stealing money and serving poor quality food, to make more money. In some cases, they may get upset and plot their death.
Many young people have their first girlfriend or boyfriend from the same building or college. Beautiful young girls like laila aly khan have many young men interested in them, though their parents oppose their choice, if the person is from some other religion. When their parents find out they often oppose the marriage, resulting in conflict, though the dispute is resolved after some time.
There are many couples who meet while working in the same office like rangnekar couple. Later if the husband loses his job or does not do well in his career, he will abuse his wife beating her in privacy of the home, making her life hell. Often there are ego problems, and the husband may ask the wife to leave the job. In this case, the husband forced the wife to stay at home, running a lunch dabba business.
So while government agencies like security and intelligence agencies are extremely vicious in harassing, criminally defaming single women professionals, especially in panaji, goa, they refuse to acknowledge the fact that marriage is often risky for a woman because she may be subjected to physical abuse, torture, beating by her husband, and she cannot do anything because the woman is physically weaker
Later it is discovered that the husband is involved in illegal activity and jailed. Yet the people are tolerant enough to allow mrs rangnekar to live alone. This is in contrast to the attitude of people in one of the poshest areas of panaji,goa where some extremely powerful people are extremely hostile and prejudiced against all single women and are ruthless in criminally defaming, harassing single women professionals to force them to agree to identity theft.
Kindly note that google,tata sponsored raw/cbi employees india’s greatest domain fraudster the greedy gujju stock broker raw employee amita patel, featured in moneycontrol, hindu business line,who charges Rs 6 lakh per person for stock training, haryana scammer mba hr ruchika kinge, bengaluru brahmin cheater nayanshree hathwar, panaji greedy goan bhandari raw employee scammer sunaina chodan, sindhi scammer brothers karan, nikhil premchandani, their school dropout mother naina premchandandani who looks like actress sneha wagh, siddhi mandrekar, greedy goan gsb fraud housewife robber riddhi nayak caro running an extortion racket, indore robber housewife deepika, teacher edith and other raw/cbi employees are not associated with the website in any way, since they do not do any computer work, do not invest money in domains though google, tata, indian tech and internet companies allegedly running india’s biggest sex, bribery, extortion racket since 2010, are making fake claims to get all the frauds monthly raw/cbi salaries at the expense of the real domain investor
Please note that panaji sindhi scammer brothers nikhil, karan premchandani are not associated with the website in any way though being shameless frauds and liars, they are making fake claims for 9 years, allegedly supported by the liar sindhi, gujju community of panaji.
The book is well written and gives a glimpse of the life and background of people living in housing societies in Mumbai, their interaction with each other, the helpful nature, which is often absent in some areas of panaji, due to the extremely high levels of corruption which the ex-goa governor satyapal malik also commented on

Review: The Emperor: Live the Dream by Ram Joshi 0
The Emperor, Live the Dream is the story of a penguin Em in Antarctica. Though he was attacked when he was a baby, resulting in a scar and lost his parents early, he managed to survive in the hostile weather conditions in Antarctica. He would look at the mountains at a distance and dream of climbing them. However, when he discussed his dream with his fellow penguins, they discouraged him. So he confined himself to the daily routine of searching for food and spending time with his penguin friends. However, one day, some of close friends were killed by the leopard seals, and he realized that he could be the next victim. So he decided to climb the mountains. The rest of the book is the story of his adventures climbing the mountains
This is a well written book after extensive research of the life of penguins, weather in Antartica. It is relevant for people living in India, since conformity is valued by society and government, while those who take risks are often criminally defamed, cheated, exploited, subjected to human rights abuses, denied their fundamental rights.
though the mainstream media and government officially claims that it wants citizens to start their own business, the harsh reality is that indian and state governments especially in madhya pradesh, karnataka, goa, haryana, maharashtra government are ruthless in ROBBING, CHEATING, EXPLOITING, HARASSING, CRIMINALLY DEFAMING honest hardworking skilled citizens to make the mistake of starting their own business, allegedly BRIBED by google, tata, greedy fraud indian tech and internet companies which CHEAT, EXPLOIT small business owners to increase their million dollar profits
For example, google, tata, indian internet companies have got at least 15 lazy greedy call girls, robber, cheater housewives, school dropout naina chandan, stock broker asmita patel, ruchika kinge, and other frauds who do not spend any money on domains, raw/cbi jobs falsely claiming that they own the websites, paypal, bank account of the domain investor, blogger, owning this website in a major FINANCIAL, ONLINE FRAUD. Indian paypal account holders like the blogger owning this website are wasting their life, fighting the government SKILLS, BANKING FRAUD, labor law violations which are far worse than the wistron iphone factory since 2010,
The indian tech and internet companies are donating crores to charities yet they are extremely unethical in their endless skills, financial fraud, labor law violations, stealing data from small business owners and making fake claims of computer work, domain investment to CRIMINALLY DEFAME the real domain investor, who is denied a life of dignity, has their correspondence ROBBED without a legally valid reason.
A good book for those who hesitate to take risks, fearing failure, only in india, the government is ruthless in destroying the life of professionals who make the mistake of taking risk , starting their own business, denying them their fundamental rights

Review: Masked crime by Shalini Swaminathan 0
Insurance fraud is prevalent in India, and often insurance policies are taken sometimes only for the money. Yet indicating the worsening status of educated women the indian government refuses to acknowledge the fact that its well paid ntro employees are taking insurance policies in the name of single women professionals, who they are actually HATE, so that they can misuse their name,rob everything from them, destroy their life completely
Usually insurance policies are taken to help the dependents during a financial emergency. Yet increasingly insurance policies are taken to fake relationships, get quick money.The book Masked Crime is a story of how insurance policy was taken only to get quick money. Manoj is the son of the local postman, who is always looking for quick money. When he finds that a family has got a lot of money after the death of a family member, he decides that he will also use the same method to become rich.
His father tells him that the local teacher Prashant in the school is making a lot of money. So he impersonates the teacher, and takes a policy of Rs 15 lakh, duping the insurance agent. Then he makes up a fake fight with the teacher, to kill him, falsely claiming that the teacher cheated his sister Gayatri. He then asks his crooked uncle Chottu to impersonate the teachers parents and collect the insurance money so that both of them can enjoy it
However, Manoj was not aware that insurance companies have a policy of investigating claims which are made within two years of taking the policy, to prevent fraud. So when the insurance company staff starts investigating the claim, and finds that details mismatch, slowly the fraud is exposed.
In a similar manner, the indian government and 5 state governments especially the goa, madhya pradesh governments are ruthless in their human rights abuses, financial fraud, correspondence robbery of the goa 1989 jee topper, single woman engineer based on the fake claims mhow monster ntro employee puneet who faked his relationship with the single woman who he actually HATED.
Though he never interacted with the single woman since he actually HATED her, he faked his relationship so that he could rob everything from her, and subject her to human rights abuses without being questioned. It would have extremely difficult for the government agencies to justify the MEMORY ROBBERY of a harmless private citizen without a court order, since 2010, yet the mhow monster puneet falsely claimed that the single woman had agreed to the human rights abuses, when she would never have done so if she was directly contacted.
The brahmin mhow monster ntro employee puneet had allegedly purchased an insurance policy, falsely nominating the single woman engineer he HATED, when actually he was planning to steal the identity of the single woman for his real girlfriend nayanshree hathwar, who he has actually got a R&AW job at the expense of the single woman engineer. he also falsely claimed that his real girlfriends, greedy gujju stock broker asmita patel, indore fraud deepika, goan fraud raw/cbi employees slim goan bhandari sunaina chodan, siddhi mandrekar, riddhi nayak caro, kolhapur born sindhi scammer school dropout housewife naina chandan, who looks like actress sneha wagh, her lazy fraud sons karan, nikhil, who do not spend any time and money on domains, own the websites, bank account savings of the single woman to get them monthly government salaries at the expense of the single woman blogger, domain investor
The mhow monster puneet is also the top mental torture specialist in ntro, raw, so the engineer took 7-8 years to understand the extent of the fraud, yet the government refuses to end the financial fraud. The news of how insurance policies are used to fake relationships has become very famous and Masked crime is based on how insurance policies are misused
Kindly note that the blogger, writer writing this description is held a virtual prisoner in panaji, goa, her correspondence robbed by goan raw/cbi employees like slim goan bhandari sunaina chodan, siddhi mandrekar, housewife robber riddhi nayak caro without a legally valid reason since 2012 in a clear case of human rights abuses. All these well connected greedy goan government employees HATE the writer, criminally defame her, yet indicating the worsening status of educated harmless single women in goa, they are allowed to ROB all the correspondence of the single woman
If Cinnamon teal, any publisher or writer wants a free review of their book, they can contact on email info@blogposts.in
Cinnamon teal, everyone in goa, should be aware that the CORRUPT LIAR goa government is FALSELY CLAIMING that the greedy panaji sindhi scammer brothers karan, nikhil, who do not spend any money on domains, do not do any work, own this website to pay the sindhi scammers monthly salary at the expense of the hardworking single woman since they offer huge BRIBES to corrupt LIAR greedy goa government employees and are supported by google,tata, indian internet companies in this ONLINE, FINANCIAL FRAUD since 2010, Bank details will expose panaji shameless sindhi scammers
An interesting story of insurance fraud, recommended for those who are not familiar with insurance, and also indian, state government employees who refuse to acknowledge that relationships can be FAKED in insurance policies to CHEAT, EXPLOIT hardworking single woman engineers.

Book review : Madhuleena by Dr Govind Sharma 0
Though Dr. Govind Sharma (IAS Retd) is not as famous and well known in India like Chetan Bhagat, his books are discussing issues which most indian writers do not discuss, yet greatly affect the life of indian citizens. Personally his earlier book, the Break-up Clinic has made a very great difference in the life of the domain investor, who was cheated, and is exploited by almost everyone she trusted
Madhuleena is one of few books in India which discusses honey trapping, which is extremely widespread in India, though the mainstream media and most indian authors refuse to discuss it. Beautiful women are aware of their power over men, especially wealthy and powerful men, honey trapping them. The Indian government mainly focusses on bribes in cash and gift bribes are considered corruption, yet when powerful men break the law, TELL LIES, MAKE FAKE CLAIMS or abuse their powers to keep the beautiful woman who has seduced him happy, the indian and state governments remain in denial.
The Indian and state government refuse to acknowledge that otherwise respectable men will break the law and tell lies if they honey trapped and the person exposing how top NTRO/raw/cbi employees are HONEYTRAPPED to make fake claims faces a lot of harassment, is falsely labelled a security threat. The Indian and state government falsely claims that the relationship between the powerful ntro/raw/cbi employee and beautiful woman is only professional, when it is a 100% personal relationship. the cunning indian tech and internet companies have become experts in honey trapping powerful ntro, raw employees who then abuse their powers. The politicians will also harass citizens who expose honey trapping.
Like some of the earlier books written by the author, this book is also based in the small town of Rajapur, and features the orphan Aakash, who is now working in a bank, Padmja bank as a clerk. Akash is wrongly framed for a bank robbery he did not commit, and fails to understand the motivation. While hiding from the police he is also subjected to a murder attempt. He faints while running away, meets the beautiful young Madhuleena Shah who helps him. He is completely infatuated with her and cancels his escape plans hoping to spend time with her
The police are also handling a blackmail complaint from a prominent doctor in rajapur,doctor Chawla who is lured by a beautiful woman Sonali. She then files a complaint against him of sexual misconduct and gets him jailed. The beautiful woman then takes Rs one crore promising to withdraw the complaint, yet disappears forcing the doctor to file another complaint with the police. The police suspect that someone is running a honey trapping racket in Rajapur, luring rich and powerful men
Aakash then finds out the Madhuleena is the girlfriend of a rich businessman Seth Basant Moondhra and is running his business in Rajapur. He approaches his friend Basheshar Baba,a sadhu ,for help to escape from his problems and getting the bank robbery solved. How the mystery of the bank robbery and blackmail are linked forms the rest of this interesting story.
The book offers an interesting glimpse of how the police work in India, how they run a background check on anyone who is filing a complaint with them and collect information. It also shows the power and influence of the sadhus in some areas of india, though they do not have much money, they are well connected, and can help people who are facing problems, provide information from their sources.
Highly recommended for anyone in the indian tech and internet sector, since some of the largest indian tech and internet companies are using beautiful women for honeytrapping top officials and getting the beautiful women like robber riddhi nayak caro, sindhi scammer school dropout naina chandan, nayanshree hathwar, goan bhandari sunaina chodan, siddhi mandrekar, asmita patel, ruchika kinge raw/cbi jobs with fake resume, fake work and fake bank account at the expense of hardworking, meritorious citizens like the domain investor, a private citizen, single woman engineer, legally owning the website.
This book is very well written, easy to read and exposes how powerful and wealthy men in India are easily lured and trapped by beautiful women, who then blackmail them for the rest of their life, until someone helps them.

Review: Skin by Margaret Mascarenhas 0
The domain investor had read the book “Skin” a few years ago, when NTRO employees were ruthless in ensuring that she got no paid work in Goa at all as part of their identity theft racket.
The death of Margaret Mascarenhas in July 2019 reminded the domain investor of the well written book, and the fact that though indian intelligence and security agencies are ruthless in stealing the identity of indian women professionals because they do not have flawless skin, the skin is largely hereditary
The book “Skin” traces the family history like many other books, with Roots being the most famous
Yet the book is closely linked to the history of goa
Unlike most other parts of india, which mainly had local rulers with some British, goa like kerala had a very strong European influence and was ruled by the Portuguese for about 500 years. There are also a large number of people in goa of African origin, with dark skin.
Though legal relationships like marriages are well documented, the skin, features, height and other hereditary aspects of a person depend to a large extent on their biological mother and father, who may be different from their legal mother and father
Skin is an interesting book, because it exposes the biological parents of many of the characters, for example, a green eyed Spanish priest has an affair with a married woman and has a daughter, and the legal father never realizes it.
His green eyes and skin periodically appear in different generations of his biological family
Poskem by Wendell Rodricks is another book which traces the mixed heritage of many people in goa, that though their name, religion may change, their genetic history will remain the same.
For example the kolhapur born school dropout gujju housewife cbi employee naina chandan, who looks like actress sneha wagh, is very similar in appearance to a politician in mumbai. They probably share some biological parent or grandparent. Hence observing different people in goa is interesting, guessing their biological parents and family history is good time pass.
Though Margaret Mascarenhas died at a fairly young age due to cancer, her book is highly recommended for those who are interested in family histories, since they are often complicated.
