Though I have been reading regularly since class 5, recently I was facing a reading slump. I am sure all of us do at some point. I came across Mark Manson’s video on reading, and reflected upon my own reading behaviours. Turns out, I had been making some reading mistakes because of which I was…

The book Ikigai was a gift for my birthday back in 2019. I tried reading it then, but I couldn’t quite relate to it. I picked it up again a couple of days back, and this time I really couldn’t put it down and ended up finishing it in two days. This book is a…
A while ago, I came across an article that suggested women apologized more than men. More often than not, women apologized for unnecessary things. That got my head spinning, it was time to do some self reflection. Truth be told, I did not find myself to be any different. When I became more intentional about…
