Read More Dear future 100 year old meA few years back, I took a break from reading romance novels because of two reasons.

Read More Romance novels are ruining me!AVARAN by S L BHYRAPPA It is a timeless classic which is as relevant in today’s times as the air that we breathe.

Read More Control and curiosityToday marks 116 years to one of the most impactful poems I have ever read.

Having read Dr Vikram Sampath’s two part biography on […]

Read More Sleepless nights are here againWe often end up in situations where unexpected things happen when we expect something the most. Here though, I’m talking about how I expected that I would journal my life, be mindful and achieve that gold coin called perfect life. But then, life happened. In my case, it’s called two kids.
