Gudiya Ki Duniya

I started the year 2023 with a resolution that I will go back to doing what I love the most...... Reading . Since the start of the year, I have been on a Readathon . In the last six months, I have  devoured more than 12 books on various genres and I must say, the journey has been nothing but satisfying!  Not all books that I read were worth reading. Some were hits and some were a major miss. But I guess that's what I like about reading, the journey of discovering the hits and misses is more important to me than the end result.  But for you, my readers, I have curated a list of books that I personally found very enjoyable and would strongly recommend that you read them. Amazon links are also shared in case you decide to purchase: How do you Live? by  Genzaburō Yoshino : I wish I had read this book during my formative years. Nevertheless, it's never too late to read and appreciate the beauty and simplicity of this timeless Japanese classic. This book follows the s...

Let me start with a confession. I am a person who likes doing psycho analysis of people and forming an opinion on them based on my judgement. Most times, my judgement has not been wrong, barring the times when it has been wrong! 😁😁  On a serious note, it has been recently pointed out to me by a friend that I am a victim of adulthood. It has been noted about me that I tend to form an opinion pretty fast and stick to it for a very long time. I need to be more child-like and not overthink. I am not sure if you have felt the same way about yourself or about someone you know.  Well! Honestly, that came as a shock to me. In my head, I was always a perfect embodiment of mind and body😂. Seriously speaking, this was an eye opener for me. My friend gave me a few examples of how I have been too quick to make judgements recently. Also, the fact that I had too many 'nevers' in my life. Like, I would never want to be in a cold place, never want to drink that juice, never want to wear tha...

On June 3, 2023, I deleted my Instagram account. What a terrible waste of time...hard to believe that I wasted so many hours scrolling through that mindless s***.  As much as I want to, at the moment, I don't know what should be Instagram replaced with. I read, I write, I work out, I do almost everything that I embark upon. Then why did I delete the Gram? I guess I couldn't take it beyond a point. Like others, I am also putting up a face for the people to see. Only the side that they should see. How hypocritical. And also unfair on people.  But who are these people and why are they even important?  Its funny how we start attaching excessive value to humans and things that are least important in the real life. As Kendall Roy says in Succession "You have become too much of an online person. You have lost the context".  So yeah ...here it goes. Goodbye Instagram. And hello to the real world. However, this too is a bit hypocritical of me. I am saying hello to the real wo...
