My stories, My way
I follow multiple book lover groups on social media, goodreads etc. Most times people recommend a book and I jump on getting it as I always like to broaden my reading. That is what made me buy The Rosie Project. I started reading the book and just could not get into it. I did not…
If you were wondering why I had not written for the past few days, it is coz I have been on a mini break – we went to south coast for a holiday. It was hard to write there. So for the next few days, I will be writing two blogs a day till I…
I wrote about my happy book yesterday. I have read so many books that make me sad – mostly they are the stories where humans turned on humans; they are the stories of human power gone wrong; where humans forgot their humanism and were motivated by man made differences like caste, creed, colour and race!…
I have a lot of feel good books – books that make me feel warm, fuzzy and happy! Most of these books are human stories having a happy ending. There are some authors who write happy books. They are called chick-lit, light, airy books, good for a read on the beach or on holidays. I…

There are so many books I have read multiple times. If I love a book, I will read it again and again. And every time I will read it with different emotion and discover something new. One of my favourite book is Safe Passage by Ida Cook. I picked this book by chance in a…
I did not read a lot of books last year. I had joined a new job and life was very busy. My parents visited me last year and got my haul of Hindi books. It is a rite of passage – anyone coming from india has to get me the Hindi language books from my…
When I started with today’s post, I had to remind myself about the last 2 years. Especially coz 2020 has been a blur! The pandemic has really shifted my concept of time…may be for all of us in some way! We all change as time passes. In fact our personal growth is driven through change…
When I started writing, I misread “something” with “someone” and of course I started writing about how much I miss my family. But I stopped in time to re-read the topic. What I miss most is the food in india. Don’t get me wrong, I am very lucky to live in such a multicultural country…
