![]() Referred to as Em and Hoom affectionately by their children, a daughter- Susan and the unnamed son who is the narrator of the story. ![]() Though all seems well from the outside, it’s a raging mess of emotions that only the people living inside understand. This is the story of Mumbai, in a microcosm. The world of Em and Hoom is one such world that captivates your interest and makes you watch from the sidelines: least you get sucked into it. I finished reading the book a couple of days ago, but when alone and thinking, I found myself thinking about Em and Hoom. You want to continue reading it for as long as you can and it becomes a part of your world. ![]() They say the greatest books are the ones you don’t want to end.

I hope that is not the case as this story was just BAD, unappealing (as were the characters) and left my brain as dead and bored as an old dried up sponge. I fear Weiner has become a "has been" who is no more! Her early books were an assured good read ("Good in Bed," & "In Her Shoes" to name a few). I struggled to FORCE myself to finish, "The Next Best Thing," by Jennifer Weiner. ![]() ![]() How it started (Star Wars: Brotherhood) // How it's going (Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories #4 by that OUR Mill and her best bud lingering around Rey's time?

This is why European countries which aren’t as northerly as Norway never get to experience the golden night-times of the midnight sun.Īs the Earth continues on its orbit and the tilt of the hemisphere gradually moves away from the sun, the darkness of night slowly returns. The further away from the pole you travel, the more diluted the effect of the sun becomes. It’s also why summer occurs at different times of the year in the north and south hemispheres.ĭuring the summer months when the hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the poles experience sunlight for the full 24 hours. As it moves around the sun, the tilted axis means that at times part of the Earth will be closer to the sun than others. In addition to the earth rotating around on its own axis, it’s also circling the sun. If it were completely perpendicular there would be a fixed night and day of 12 hours each. However, the length of daytime and night-time hours is not equal and this is because the Earth is tilted on its axis by 23.4 degrees. ![]() The Earth rotates completely every 24 hours, and it’s this movement that creates night and day. This phenomenon occurs every year as it’s not due to some strange aberration, but due to the physics of the Earth and the sun. In Nordkapp, the sun shines for 1800 hours without interruption - a total of 75 days. ![]() ![]() ![]() Leadership has nothing to do with personal attributes. You can be a leader in your workplace, your neighborhood, or your family, all without having a title. ![]() Similar to the point above, just because you have a C-level title, doesn’t automatically make you a “leader.” We often stress the fact that you don’t need a title to lead. Leadership has nothing to do with titles. Hopefully you find it there, but there are no guarantees. Leadership doesn’t automatically happen when you reach a certain pay grade. Leadership has nothing to do with seniority or one’s position in the hierarchy of a company.
