D is to Dream. Dreams are the first step to define our destiny. When I was young, I was told again and again to not day dream as it is for the lazy. I don’t agree with it. My dreams helped me in defining what I wanted in life. Your dreams do change as we…
Challenges
The different challenges I have done so far – some completed, some not so!
C – Celebrate
C is to celebrate this beautiful gift of life. One thing that this pandemic has taught me is that life is transient and planning is futile. I have started appreciating how people felt in war times. We are waging a war against a virus and it has shone light on some home truths that we…
B – Believe, Balance, Bliss
B for me is always synonymous with Believe – belief in myself, belief in the future, belief in the world. It always starts there – without a solid belief it is very easy to feel lost in this world full of self doubt and negativity. We are surrounded by news and messages about what is…
A – Acknowledge, Accept, Adapt
It is my birthday month and every year I try to do something different. This year i decided to kick off my blog again and do the #AtoZBlog challenge. There are 26 Alphabets and 31 days in August. So I will be creative for the last 5 days 😀 The title says aptly what I…
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…
