Eat.Sleep.Read.Repeat.

Books.

What comes to your mind when you read this word? A mystery-packed crime thriller? A fantasy that takes you into an alternative reality? Or, are you one of those students on the brink of collapsing, fed up of reading the endless text"books" during this exam season? Well I can go on and on guessing scenarios, but ultimately we all have our own genres, right?

First come the hardcore classic readers, the Williams and Charleses of today. Then we have crime and mystery novels, you've sure heard of 221B Baker Street, haven't you? Next in line we have the witches and wizards of tomorrow, awaiting their letters on the eve of their 11th birthday. And as long as we're talking about Fantasy, how can we forget life and times of the Greek & Roman gods? Moving on, there's that one genre we all have read at least once- Fiction. A bit of reality with a touch of creativity and a lot of relatability makes up this kaleidoscopic world of Fiction. But the actual ice-breakers are the comedies, which have their own jovial audience. Then creeps in horror, as creepy as ever. And lastly, (as far as I can remember, forgive me bookworms) comes non-fiction, the real knowledge bank, charging a negligible interest for the vast knowledge it loans us.

So in the fullness of time, books have come at par in competition with dogs in becoming humankind's best friends. Be it Chetan Bhagat or Shashi Tharoor , we have it all, from simple, short and sweet to sesquipedalian. So what are you waiting for? Go grab and read a new book, a new page for a new leaf and a new life : )

So what has been that one book which has always been close to your heart? Feel free to drop in a comment below 'cause I'd love to know what you guys have to say!

    books that i feel was impactful are definately
    "holes" by Louis Sachar
    "to kill a mockingbird" by Harper Lee
    "the outsiders" by s.e. hinton

    i won't say what they're about but everyone should read them, you learn a lot of things from them.

Can I Tell You A Story?

  “Can I tell you a story, puttu?” my grandmother asked me, while I was busy typing away on my laptop. I instantly felt bad that I hadn't even talked to her properly after coming home for the weekend, it was already Sunday evening. After at least four assurances that she wasn’t disturbing my studies or work, she went back to the 1950s, when she was in college. She’d gone there, but didn’t fit in. On the first day, everyone her own age kept calling her “akka” – she was disheartened. She left without paying her fee, not meaning to coming back to the college. On the way back though, she’d noticed an announcement that said that a girl child with no father, no property, and some other conditions, could claim some 1000 rupees or so. She’d immediately gone and registered for it. When she came back home to her single mother who really wanted her to pursue graduation, and told her she hadn’t paid the fee at the college ‘cause she didn’t fit in, she was instructed plainly to go back the next...

The Leap to College

Imagine being in an entirely new city with a bunch of people whom you have never known all around you – a new hostel room to stay, a new roommate to share it with, lunch and dinner no longer with your family but people from all over the country. This is how hostel life feels like. Fresh out of school, we’re   always used to being told what to do. But at college, there’s no one to push you around to do stuff anymore, no more of your mom running behind you to make you sit and study. It is adulting at its prime, anything and everything that you do is out of your own initiative. But its not all gloom and despair, I’ve learnt some of life’s greatest lessons in these three months of my first trimester at college. I’ve finally learnt to manage things on my own, take responsibility, travel alone and most importantly - balance studies and self-care. Health is a legit concern when you’re living out of home, but I guess learning to keep yourself healthy is just part of the game. I’m not...

How My Tenth Grade Met A Sticky End

 The day was 14th April 2021 . After more than a year of online classes and tons of pre-boards, we all were so tired of reading the same books again and again. The first news that we hear in the morning is this: PM to discuss on CBSE board exams in today's meeting - Final decision expected today. Then there it was ; we got to hear the golden words- Our board exams were cancelled !! I expected most of us , 10th graders, to be jumping around and floating on cloud infinity to the power of infinity instead of nine. The comment's section of Youtube videos announcing the cancellation were full of this one line: "Still searching for that one guy who said I hope you get 95+ percentage in your boards😂." Although personally , I was searching for Sharma ji ka beta ( to console him, you know😝). But with all that said and done, I did see a lot of people disappointed with the cancellation. Some of them said " But I was prepared with everything" and "But what about ...
