Completed with the fourth chapter.

What a beautiful read it was. It's about a police officer, his journey wrt law and order, his court trials, how a lawyer has helped him and his team out of nowhere, his journey as the head in Tihar jail, his relationship with the convicts in it and much more.

This particular story will stay with me for so long and will be one of the best short stories I've read till date.

Out of curiosity, watching Neeraj Sir's interview, where he speaks about BCCI

From reading the book itself I understood Sir's personality. And after watching the interview, I have no doubt about it. Surely, a man of integrity, grace, determination and passion towards his work!

Can't wait to complete this book and get started with his other books, especially 'A Cop in Cricket.'

Hopping onto the 5th chapter. Hee haw

Started this book with the 6th chapter. Binge-read it!

Next went to the 2nd chapter. Gave me vibes of Da Vinci Code. No wonder the chapter is named, "Da Lakhvi" code. Narrative is on point. Made me think why do people ridicule the police while they not only put in lots of hardwork but also put their life at stake. And all we do is ridicule them? But why?

Went to 1st chapter. Caused confusion. So I skipped it.

Just picked the book out of nowhere and opened a random chapter, read it, loved it and now bingereading it.

No wonder, a review on the cover page says, "Khaki Files is a real page-turner."

Totally at the edge of my seat. Hee haw.

.....Continued (As there was a character limit)

That's why I love non-fiction books. Books like "The moment of lift" by Melinda Gates, "Born a crime" by Trevor Noah and now this book- "Can't hurt me" by David Goggins serve like eye-openers to the reality of racism and patriarchy, and make readers feel the pain of those who are affected by it on daily basis.

Loving the book so far.

"The truth is racism and bigotry still f***ing exist and some people are so thin-skinned they refuse to admit that."

This line shows how widespread & harmful racism can be. It's easy to be oblivious to racism and bigotry if we don't experience them ourselves. But just because we don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's why I love non-fiction books.

.......To be continued in my next progress update.

I just finished chapter 1, and I am already hooked. Curious to see how the story unfolds and to learn more about David Goggins's journey. No wonder people call it a "must-read".

I've been on a reading slump for a very long time but this book has literally helped me to get out of it. And, that's the beauty of reading:
1: great books that are very impactful
2: books that have amazing flow.
3: books that interest you.

Been following Aakash (author) for a really long time for his amazing work and I'm glad I picked his book. You can follow him on Instagram.

Review so far: Loving it. :')

I can't believe that such a beautiful story of The Kite Runner has made it into this graphic novel covering everything. Short, and yet so precise. Loved the illustrations.
But I'd recommend to read the original novel more than the graphic novel, to connect more with this amazing story.

Has always been on my list, finally! 😍
