January 2022

Posted on February 5, 2022May 21, 2022 by sonalion

Wow- I can’t believe January is already gone in this brand new year and we are already a few days in February. As I am writing this I am reminded of something I read – The trouble is, we think we have time. Such a powerful statement and a constant reminder of our mortality. This…

Z – Zest

Posted on August 27, 2021August 27, 2021 by sonalion

Z is for zest – that unbridled passion and energy for something. I have zest for positivity in my life. As I say, I don’t need any drugs or alcohol, I am high on life and there ain’t a better high! As you must have seen a pattern in my posts, it doesn’t come easy….

Y – You

Posted on August 25, 2021August 26, 2021 by sonalion

Y is for You! Everything starts and ends here. There is a Shloka in Bhagvad Geeta – Akele aaye hain and akele hi jaana hai – we come to the world alone and leave it alone. It doesn’t translate that we should be alone but the fact that it is very important to think about…

X – XO

Posted on August 24, 2021August 25, 2021 by sonalion

X is for XO which stands for hugs and kisses in popular culture. I started researching as to how it came about. The internet has many theories – it seems X resembles lip lock and O looks like two people embracing. I cannot see it but symbolism has always been interesting. I am a big…

Day 25 – A character I can relate to the most

Posted on October 27, 2020 by Sonali

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

Posted on October 25, 2020 by Sonali

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!

Posted on October 23, 2020 by Sonali

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

Posted on October 22, 2020December 30, 2021 by Sonali

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

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Sonali

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

Posted on October 20, 2020December 30, 2021 by Sonali

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…
