Welcome Books, Welcome Light, Welcome Fun

The biggest problem of the world is NOT pollution or over-population,but the fact that the masses have an inexplicable aversion to READING, without any worthy reasons at all...

READERS:

No use going over the uses of reading…perhaps “uses” is actually a very tiny word…

But undoubtedly, there are times when we need a particular book…as the commonest metaphor puts it, a book is food for da soul…as cuisines are for our tummies…

But don’t we have preferences in our foods? Acc to our moods, our appetites, our surroundings.

Well, I can say without too many fingers pointing at me (lol) that its easier to find out what our tummies need dan wat our souls do.

How many times we find ourselves helpless…cz there are more number of opinions than there are books(I suspect so:P) or actually at times none at all.

An attempt…to be of some use to the “normal” ones in da world of reading…those who have the urge to enlighten their world…but can’t quite find the candles and matchsticks…

The pros, you can surely flaunt your knowledge (!!!) n expand it tooJ

NON-READERS:

Yeah yeah you have more important things to do than rubbing your noses in books…But why not give it a try once…if for nothing else then for experimental causes?!?!?!

Especially when we are telling you how to!

N who knows the results might shock you also

Summarizing in the words of Oscar Wilde:


It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

The impact that a book has goes far beyond passing your time constructively.

Something you realize not maybe after you close it and keep it down, but maybe years later, some sentence, some paragraph will come in your mind when you expected it the least, and NEEDED the most.

From book reviews to author biographies, quantum physics to age-old wars, Harry Potters to Stephen Hawkings from Venus to Mars, a wonderful world awaits you.

Let the fun begin

Happy Reading

Spill the Tea: Ira and the quiet exhaustion of being watched

Ira comes for tea and slowly reveals a life shaped by emotional surveillance. Loved, watched, and quietly evaluated by her parents, she lives under constant explanation. Through food and confession, she names the exhaustion of being known too well and finds nourishment not just in eating, but in finally being heard. Ira arrived  five minutes early and apologized for it. The way people do when they are used to taking responsibility for time itself. She said it lightly, as if time itself had offended her. She wore a white A-line shirtdress, clean and careful, the kind that looks chosen for comfort but ends up signaling restraint. When she sat down, she folded herself into the chair unconsciously. One leg rested on the floor, the other tucked underneath her, knees visible. It was not a pose meant to be seen. It slipped out before her body remembered how to protect itself. I noticed the brief softness of it, the quiet vulnerability, before she settled and forgot. I was still pouring t...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Worst Idea Ever-Jane Fallon-Book review

Is your closest friendship built on trust or convenience? Have you ever questioned whether your closest friendship survives on love or habit? This detailed, non partisan review of Worst Idea Ever by Jane Fallon explores jealousy, insecurity, digital deception, and emotional convenience, while honestly critiquing its length, clichés, and uneven characterisation. A sharp look at friendship when kindness turns quietly toxic. Have you ever stayed in a friendship simply because walking away felt harder? You know that uncomfortable feeling when you realise a friendship no longer nourishes you, yet you keep showing up anyway. Not because it brings joy, but because history exists, routines are set, and absence would require uncomfortable explanations. Jane Fallon’s Worst Idea Ever taps directly into that quiet, relatable discomfort. It asks a question many of us avoid asking ourselves. Are we friends because we care, or because we always have been? Published in 2021 by Penguin B...
