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…

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 21 – The first novel I remember reading
The very first novel I remember reading was Enid Bayton āMagic Faraway Treeā. 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 18 – A book that disappointed me
My reading is very eclectic. I will pick up a book, not like it and then keep it away. I will pick it up again after months and it will become my favourite book. It all depends on my state of mind when I am reading a particular book. I am hoping it is not…
