Father, Daughter – Readers

Today is my dad’s fourth death anniversay. I kept thinking about what I should do to celebrate the person he was and honour his memory. This is easier for people who are religious I guess. Like my mom. Every year, on his death anniversary, we are supposed to have a puja at home, and feedContinue reading “Father, Daughter – Readers”

Gratitude Journal #3 – Books

I mean, this was expected, wasn’t it? A huge thank you to stories. All the stories I’ve grown up reading. All the stories that saved me. All the stories that are still saving me. And where do these stories live? You got it – books! Before I get down to thanking Books, I have toContinue reading “Gratitude Journal #3 – Books”

Life Diaries and Reading Wrap Up – August 2021

While I read so many books in July, I was surprised when I saw that I’d read only three books in August!!! That’s so unlike me! I wondered where did I spend all my time? And I realised, oh well, for a change, I was actually having to work for my salary..heheh.. Reading You alreadyContinue reading “Life Diaries and Reading Wrap Up – August 2021”

Stay At Home Series – Episode 11 : From Beach Bum to Book Bum

Two years back, I would have said I was a beach bum. Not in the absolute sense of the term, but yes, at least twice a year you would find me either traveling near a water body or talking about traveling to a water body. Then towards the end of 2019, right when I wasContinue reading “Stay At Home Series – Episode 11 : From Beach Bum to Book Bum”

Life Diaries and Reading Wrap Up – March 2019

Another month has gone by and girl, what a month it has been! I thought I would’ve read more number of books than Feb, considering there were more days in March, but surprisingly, I have read only 4 books in March – which is one less than what I read in Feb! Maybe, I readContinue reading “Life Diaries and Reading Wrap Up – March 2019”

Reading Wrap Up – October 2018

I had big plans for my reading in October. Then those big plans kind of flopped. Socials, daycare stuff, illnesses, shifting preparations for moving back to India, all got in the way of my reading plans this month. Also, to add, I had plans of reading a lot of spooky, dark books this month, inContinue reading “Reading Wrap Up – October 2018”

These books helped meContinue reading “Reading Wrap Up – September 2018”

All things reading this week

It’s funny, that as soon as IContinue reading “All things reading this week”
