A lot of things have changed for me in the last few days – living in a different country far away from loved ones, struggling to find a semblance of a routine and most importantly trying to wrap my head around the fact that it is still bright at 9 pm. Like I said, a lot has changed! Amidst all the chaos of living alone, […]
It started at the beginning of this year. Whenever I’d open Twitter, I’d see a set of yellow, green, and black squares. It was the Wordle craze. Brushing it away as just another trend, I decided to ignore it. But day after day, I’d see more people post about it. Since I have enjoyed playing Word games, I decided to try it once and then […]
Hello February! I like the beginnings – I like New Year and I like the beginnings of months. Keeping aside my hatred of Mondays for they mark the end of the weekend; I like Mondays because they mark the start of something. There is something about beginnings that motivates me to do something new or to do something better or be better or to start […]
I have made it a point to read only books by Indian authors or books set in India in August. So here are the books that I read in August 2021.
Creating something and then learning something in the process or even the other way around- learning something and then doing something to put that learning into practice is what brings me joy. Though I make a to-do list of all the things that I have to do, ticking all the tasks off doesn’t bring me as much joy as creating something does.
7 months of 2021 have gone by and I’m wondering how did all the days go by? The only goal that I have been able to achieve so far in 2021 is my reading goal. Yes! I have managed to complete my reading challenge of reading 36 books this year! I have been on a books based on libraries/bookstores spree and I have enjoyed reading […]
Oh June, you went by too soon and so did July and now it is almost August. I am not sure what it is, but I just can’t read for long stretches of time these days. So, June was a slow month in terms of reading. At the start of June, I was wondering if I could complete my reading challenge for this year in […]
The summer months have always meant more reading for me. But that wasn’t the case this year. May saw me hitting a kind of reading slump or rather a shortened attention span that made me look for shorter reads. The books that I read in May 2021 were quite diverse (or I’d like to think so). I never got around to posting my reading wrap […]
I have a zillion things running in my mind, yet when it comes to writing something down words evade me. I am staring at the blank screen wondering what to write. Of late I haven’t written much on the blog- by that I mean posts that aren’t my reading wrap ups. My creative muscles seem to be taking a really long rest. Or I’m not […]
The months seem to be passing by in a blur. And with the situation currently being grim, reading is the only way I have to take my mind off all the negativity. But I find my attention span reduced and have only been reading shorter books or re-reading some of my old favourites of late. Here are the books I read in April 2021. 1. […]
