Hello, folks! It’s Neetu here and, today, I would like to share the story of my evolution as a reader. To be honest, I am completely new to the reading culture. I was someone who would prefer watching a documentary or some web series to reading a book. It was only after learning that some Read more…
Hey, everyone! This is Vikas Chaudhri and this is the story of my journey and evolution as a reader. Well, I am especially fond of fiction and mythology.

To me, reading books felt like taking sleeping pills. I would drift off by the time I was on the second page. However, all of this changed three years ago. It all started with the Tamil historical fiction, Ponniyin Selvan. Never before had it occurred to me that a book, much less a novel could Read more…
Hi, friends! It’s Varsha Choudhary. Today, I would like to share my reading journey with you. I wasn’t really a reader before I met my husband, who was actually quite fond of reading. His passion soon rubbed off on me. The day I realized how calm my husband felt when he sat and read a Read more…

I clearly remember I was in grade ten when I got my first novel. It was Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. It probably wasn’t the best choice for a first-time reader as the book failed to interest me at first. However, the more I read, the more interesting it felt. I was now officially a reader.
I have never been a socially amiable person since my early days. When I first got admitted to school, I was the smartest kid in the class. However, I was far from being the most popular one! I barely had any friends. I still remember how the first-grader me was upset when our summer vacation Read more…
Growing up in the middle of lots of books, I was always curious about what could be so special about those big, voluminous bundles of paper. I still remember the day my father brought me Anondomela, a Bengali children’s magazine. This was my first introduction to a hitherto unknown treasure. To put things into perspective, Read more…
It was in 2013 that I first read a book for leisure than out of academic compulsions. Well, I had read a few novels previously, but it was more of a sporadic thing than something regular.
