 " Vigil-Aunties " written by Richa S. Mukherjee is a thriller and humor-mixed genre book.  The title of this book reminds me of another book I enjoyed a lot, which also contains the word 'Aunties' in its title. So, upon reading this title, I immediately got the idea that finally someone has written a story that matches my vibe, with Indian characters in it. I was really overjoyed to read this book.

When these fabulous four visit the Nagarhole forest, they attempt to solve the mystery using their intelligence. This is the simple outline of the story. But the story reveals an even deeper mystery thriller within it. Now let me discuss m...

From planning, to execution, from organization to team building, every aspect of software management is dealt with care and is told through the story of a team taking on a project. The senior executive Gururaj explains everything in a relatable tone with quips from his associates and juniors and we feel like all the information is just floating into our brains without any effort.

I liked that in addition to the main topics, discussion around risk management in the era of AI, security threats, current recruitment techniques, project execution speed enhancement through data analytics, handling and management t...
