I slipped back on my reading in October. I only managed to read one book in this entire month – I blame me, I got lazy and didn’t feel like reading these past 2 weeks. But boy oh boy, the one book that I read turned out to be quite the page turner. I randomly…

My September Reads
After not reading at all in August, I set myself a reasonably doable target of reading two novels in September – a target that I thankfully managed to achieve! (YAYAY!) I finally finished reading ’50 Greatest Short Stories’ a book that I have had for a few years now but just postponed reading. I also…
#3| Hapiness is| Books
Day 3 of my “Happiness Is” photo series. If you haven’t already, do check out my first two posts too! I’ve been reading since I was 6-7 years old. My parents inculcated this habit in me since I was very young. I love reading – it’s such an easy way to escape into another world….
6 | Review | A Horse Walks into a Bar by David Grossman

#2: The life-changing manga of tidying up
Reading, writing and traveling were things on my to-do list for 2019 and they are all off to a rocky start. I’m on my way to Delhi from where I was supposed to embark on a trip to Bir to do paragliding, due to the bad weather I had to cancel the trip while at…
Book Review#2: The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad by Twinkle Khanna
I’m on a roll with my reading. I’m through with two books in less than a week. Some of it can be attributed to the fact that this second book, that I am attempting to review today, was actually a really light read. I haven’t been a big fan of Indian authors, so my picking…
