A book that is the need of the hour for our nation. A book that is beautiful from every perspective to make a person realise how beautiful actually the world can be. I book that made me wish that every person on this planet should have been a bookworm then there might not have been a need for a struggle towards world peace. Everyone would be aware, mindful and humanity would have become a religion.

Something that seems unconnected but is connected. A refreshing new concept of the book. @AkashPhoenix #7days7covers #day1 love for pristine white!!

Now this read is a full disclosure. He has warned us that it is counterintuitive. So I was reluctant to read this book as it was seen in everyone‘s hands. Be it airport or at a random get together. On my friend‘s suggestion that it is good, since we have been reading all books together since 9th grade, I went ahead with it. All I have to say about this book is may be I don‘t agree to everything he states but there is some take away from the book.

It was a short fast read. With Murakami as always you are left to your own musings. So the best part is the very open interpretation the book gives scope to. In his own intricate delicate story telling he left me with a question. May be I was the birthday girl, wishing.

This book was an amazing read. My dad picked out this book for me. It was like watching Hollywood movies in my head. But then I realised that they might be the inspiration. I am in awe of the intelligence and patriotism of the people. I wonder what level of selflessness should be ingrained in the people serving their countries. Bless the people trying to keep everyone safe. I pray peace and love to all.

A classic is always love. Makes us feel that life is simple. And also is making me think that has life become more complex now? With evolving humans and evolving environment are we loosing intimacy at various levels? Rich or poor, we will keep together and be happy in one another. Is it true even now? Well it‘s all about discovering. Wait and watc?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

What‘s better than coffee and physics!! Lovely evening with lecture by Stephen hawking. Also around the right time, as it is in his memory. May his soul rest in peace. One year already. World does seem a little dull without his sparkle. #stephenhawking

A must read!!!!! Had my toes curled all along. Could not even put it down

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Life takes us to unpredictable cross roads, all the paths to be chosen seems daunting. But sometimes the answers are in the beauty of books.

It‘s so refreshing. The author is hands down witty and humorous, so is it witty humour. Loved him then love him more now. Can‘t wait to get my hands on all his books.

Started with the murakami fever now. Now gather why all the rush around his books. He understands the love of a true bibliophile. Completely sold after read this bit. Can‘t wait to finish. Hope will be raging about this by the end of it.

This was a book I started reading while I was traveling. I kept it in a bag and then between books forgot to finish. Now I have decided to finish it asap, because I came across references from this book in the book ikigai I was reading. Him being a psychologist and a case study for himself has peaked my interest. As it is tried and tested by him and on him. I guess there is a lot to learn where this came from.

When the concept interests you so much, you just need to dig deep. So here I go understanding the concept of ikigai and right on time as I need it badly to incorporate in my day to day life.

This is a fun and different read! First time reading something of this kind. By this I mean the writing style. Although the topic seems the one that‘s being addressed every now and then, the way it‘s been crafted is ostentatious.

A stubborn old man trying to prove something. Hey but that‘s the spirit I hope to have at that age. Addresses lovely relationships like love and friendship over the ages. An insight into how a little hope and faith and strong belief can make a huge difference. I struggled to finish it though. Not a page turner for me. But glad I did finish it. Sounds like I am an optimist. Blah! It‘s good to be at times!!

This was a biography I am glad my dad picked it out for me to read. It‘s just so enticing. I am a lover of space and the technology related to it. This biography was his story of different battles. Politics, technology and life lessons a combo of everything. I do not know how to emphasise this but it is must read. This book got me going to read more and more biographies and serious books. In this short life this is a way out to lead many lives 😍

I am in love with Neil Gaiman. His ability to narrate is beyond words. I was completely reluctant to place this book down. The delivery of mythological stories with a touch of humour is captivating. A fun and riveting experience to imagine Chris hemsworth and Tom hidleston in the plot. Couldn‘t help but turned out to be hilarious. A light read and for sure I am picking his other books up.

A memoir. I find memoirs to be fascinating. Because it gives a small look into how people perceive life. It‘s a piece of them, being bold enough say so, becoming immortal. And like passing on knowledge and a chance to live through them a different life. This is lovely piece about a boy ie young Ruskin bond, sharing the bond with his father. Giving us a chance to ponder over how our father influenced and shaped our life.

Sometimes it‘s good to stop and think what new values can be added to life. The cross cultural exploration. Something new to add to the meaning of everyday. This book did give me a new perspective to design my now.

We go through life doing the things we are basically designed to. Rarely stop and think about the bigger picture. Humans being the only animals on this planet gifted with consciousness, is it justified to only do the basics? This book is about a person who wants to embrace the bigger picture and push to do something more. In his short life span he tries his best to touch as many lives possible through bringing justice to his vocation.

Second book from Anthony Doerr, that I am reading. First one left me speechless. Wondering where this one will take me. #authorobssessions

Pick this one without a miss. You will love to know how much less we are in control. How the intricacies of the decisions we take are laced out. Good to know more about us from a scientific perspective. Have fun reading!!

New read new read new read 😁😁😁 a fictional biography of a great painter 👩‍🎨 can't wait to go through this. Hope it has served justice to the greatness of the artist.

So now my journey has brought me to Colombia 🇨🇴. My first time with Gabriel Garcia Marquez!! Have been waiting to read her. Well thousand years of solitude was the pick but the size says it all. So let's start with baby steps. What do you say guys?? Will I be saying YAY or Nay!!! #nationalgeography #aroundtheworldintwelvebooks

Loving this book!! Any more suggestions on the similar lines?? Interesting non fiction that really engages you. Help out people !!

Hey guys!! Has this ever happened to you?? You start reading a book that has already been made into a movie. I know sometimes you reach late to the party and the after party sucks!! And my after party is a little saddening because the movie running in my head has the actors playing the role. Usually it's me and that's what makes reading exciting for me. But still enjoying it. Your thoughts?

Apparently this tour around the world says namesake is the book for India. So let's see the world approved perception of India. Starting anew with this on the fiction side.

Hey all you guys out there!! What's your thoughts on this book?? Let me know what you guys felt by the time you finished this!!

Been trying to read since long time!! Finally got my hands on. Some intellectual self exploration time. Hope to discover power!!

When books inspire you towards something colourful!! #reallylongtoreasthis

Hooked to the book. Discovering deeper insights and meaning to life and world.

Picked up for a super fast finish. And suggested by my mentor. A vacation gone horrible is where I reached!! Let's see what unfolds!! #fastreads #excited

Some heavy non fictional reading!! Exciting book! Story of dominance. The slow process of how human beings came into being is a new way to look at how society is. What matters and what not is the question.

I came across a blog by national geography. The idea was to travel the world by reading. And I was thrilled. What better way to get to know the world than stories. So I dived right in. And what an experience. Well currently my book stop is at New York, the most famous-infamous city. Yay!! #aroundtheworldin12books

I have been reading this book since few days now. And the way it's progressing makes me want to just drop everything and finish this. Though the cover says story of two sisters, emotions of every character is captured beautifully. Sad to read but a hope that it will end well keeps me going. #aroundtheworldin12books #africa

The power that lies in words is mind boggling. When you read something so good that you have to take a moment to let it sink in. Words that open doors to the beauty the world is. #ruskinbond puts colours to life by fuelling the imagination. This book just reminds how beauty lies in simple joys.
