Honestly speaking I have never been much of a book reader. This I say because for many reading books on UFO stories, World’s famous psychopath murderers or Most haunted places on the globe aren’t exactly considered ‘real’ reading materials. But what to do such was I, the normal reading materials failed to interest me; no thrill, no suspense, not real (even the non-fiction ones looked dubious to me).
But life as they say is unpredictable and the past few months have proved this point in more than one way to me. So like many things mysterious, one fine morning I chucked aside the habit of the past and picked up Ishq And Mushq by Priya Basil and since then there has been no looking back.
And I realized a few things:
a) I prefer brown authors
b) Relatable stories are a must or I end up losing interest
c) Social topics fascinate me the most
d) Flashy front covers attract me
In the last 2 months aka. my exile or an escape as some like to call it, I read. Read a lot. One of the few things that helped me in maintaining my sanity. Though Starbucks cappuccino continues to top the list.
Here’s a list of books I am done with and was hoping some of you guys could suggest a few names that you found interesting and so could I.

- Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (No more Potters for a while)
- Gay Bombay by Parmesh Shahani
- Weight Loss by Upamanyu Chatterjee (Bizarre)
- Marley and I by John Grogan (A must for all canine lovers)
- Goddess for Hire by Sonia Singh
