I did well on my micro resolution for January. I vowed to dress up everyday and cultivate it as a habit. And I did! I ensured that I started my day spending time dressing up in the morning. I wore my dresses, my jewellery and put make up on just like I did when I…

Kicking off a new year
Every year I plan some goals to pursue to keep myself motivated. But if there is one thing that 2020 has taught me is that a year is too long to plan. Life is to be lived in present. So this year I plan to do something different. I first read about micro resolutions in…
End of another decade
What a year! The second decade of this century ended with a bang – this year is associated with all sort of firsts. It was the first year where an entire generation of people, who had not seen war, were exposed to war like conditions. We were confined to our homes, had to follow government…
Day 25 – A character I can relate to the most
I am a fan of Jane Green books. I have quite a few of them and love reading them from time to time. Her book The Other Woman is one of my favourite. I can quite relate to Elle from the book. The emotions she goes through adjusting to a new family were very familiar….
Day 24 – A book I wish more people would have read
Reading is personal! My reading habits are very different from others and I think it would be same for them. So it would be hard for me to say which book should be read by whom. The one book I can think of that I hope is read by more people is The Hindi Bindi…
Day 23 – A book I wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t!
I will name two books that I bought because I wanted to read them but still haven’t. I have the books but for some reason or the other haven’t read them. The first one is Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Now I bought the book a few years ago and was meant to read…
Day 22 – A book that makes me cry
I am quite an imaginative and emotional person. So when I read books, it is like a movie going in my head. Human stories always make me cry as they are real. Currently I am reading Humans by Brandon Stanton from Humans of New York. It has some touching stories from across the world. The…
Day 21 – The first novel I remember reading
The very first novel I remember reading was Enid Bayton “Magic Faraway Tree”. I vividly remember it as I was fully enchanted by the end of it. I was fascinated by the English life and the story of the 3 kids. What initially surprised me was how they talked in the book that the kids…
Day 20 – Favourite romance book
Being a thorough romantic, I love reading this genre. When I was a young girl, as per the time bound tradition, I read Mills and Boon. Now it does give you a distorted view about romance but they were my first romantic novel. Since then I have read classic love stories like Pride and Prejudice…
Day 19 – Favourite book made in a movie
Now as I mentioned previously, producers love making movies out of books as you have a good story and ready made audience in one go. But they also have to be careful as book lovers hate it when the adaptation is botched. Hell hath no fury then! There are so many books made into movies….
