The Joy Of Proxy Sites
Have you ever used a proxy site? I remember having vaguely used those many years ago. For reasons I can no longer remember. Perhaps, it was to access a blocked URL. These days, we have proxy lives. We present a facade on social media – that’s our proxy ego. One that is carefully curated to […]

Much-hyped books and I aren’t a great match. But this one was marriage from the time we met. ‘Where The Crawdads Sing’ is exquisite - so much pain and loneliness shaped by some of the best nature writing you can come across in fiction. I get the hype ...more |

| Wow. I didn’t think I would read a Colleen Hoover book. Not trying to be a lit snob, but romance is not a genre I read much of unless in the YA mold. But I was drawn to this because, as Hoover herself says, this book is the first in her list that’s n ...more | |

I had to get my mandatory Catherine Ryan Hyde read of the month. And this was just one of her best. I was surprised to see that this was a YA book with an LGBT focus. Set in the 1940s, there’s something poignant and kind to this book. And sadness. Bu ...more |

An utterly pulsating start to my new year of reading. And it somehow felt fitting that I finished reading this in Chennai, the capital of Thamizh Nadu. The pace of this book is breathtaking, but it falters a bit toward the end. I am still confused ab ...more |

| A book that started off so well and then just went downhill. Sort of like my year! Haha. But the ending put me off because until then, I really liked the character of Molly, the maid. Some delectable humor in the beginning. But, well, the mystery was ...more | |

Started in a really interesting way but sort of meandered away. I wish I could like this better. I really do because I haven’t read much literature on Iraq. But as with everything - book reading is personal - so don’t take my word for it. :-D |

With a marathon coming up and some aching knees, I thought I needed to figure out a way to run better. Just before a marathon is not the best time to fix achy knees, but well, I can start somewhere! I loved the introduction to all the mechanics of run ...more |

Anytime I want to read a book that is filled with warmth and kindness, then I only need to turn to Catherine Ryan Hyde. Set in racially segregated America in the 1950s, I was introduced to some of the sweetest boys, a wolf-dog I would love to have as ...more |

I wish I could have liked this book more. It’s, well, confusing. I have struggled with Zen all my life, but that I have thought is more due to my obdurate stubbornness in understanding it rather than difficulties with the practice of Zen itself. Shun ...more |
