Getting back to reading

5 MIN READ
In 2025, I think I only read a single book in my summer break between my Master's year in Italy. A friend had sent this book as a birthday gift through my parents from India.
In search of community in a city where there's hardly any friends of mine remaining from my life, I ended up joining a book club (all things fun community) in Gurugram. It's more flexible than a usual book club, we don't all read the same book at the same time. We silently read for a while and then talk about our respective groups. My favourite is the end, where we all answer a prompt/question given by the host. People are open and they are not afraid to be vulnerable. I even ran into a school mate who I had not seen in a decade there.
My all-time favourite reads
This is not a long list.
