July 2022

Posted on July 31, 2022July 31, 2022 by Sonali

And just like that we have completed over half of the year. This past month was not the best for me – marred with health issues mostly caused by me and me alone. I recently read somewhere that organisations should look after the well being of their people first and work should follow that. I…

January 2022

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

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 Sonali

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 Sonali

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 Sonali

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…
