ATM, I am into C++ and after 1.5 years with it I don't feel the need of
intro books. I am going ok with Reference Mauals like Stroustup.

Good. Now move on to Meyers' "Effective C++", "More Effective C++",
and "Effective STL". And look at Lakos' "Large Scale C++ Software
Design" and read Cline, Lomow, and Girou's "C++ FAQs". Just knowing
the syntax inside and out doesn't make you ready to write good C++
code.

And while you're at it, read "Design Patterns", "Refactoring", and
Booch's canonical book on object-oriented programming.
