I finished a book within a weeeeeeeeeeeek!!!

Half Girlfriend by Chetan Bhagat A book that was with me for almost 2 years and yet I never cared to read it, perhaps I forgot that I even had it at the first place. This is the first novel that i read, so it was a great experience. Visualizing characters in your mind and reading it gave me a cinematic feel indeed. Not more on intro, but about the novel. Well, i thought it was based on true events but not. I was told few days later after I read the book that it is just fictional. Well, good job Mr. Bhagat, it was just clinical, you got me throughout.  It started on a curious note, where one of the main character; Madhav Jha met Mr. Bhagat in a hotel and gave him few journals of Riya Somani; Madhav Jha's half girlfriend. Bhagat was running out of time as he have to reach his home. He said no when Madhav Jha asked him to read her journals and asked him to leave and as we know, he read it once he left. The very old cinematic style and yet it was nice. He read it, cancelled his flight ...

I read my first book!!!!

 ATOMIC HABITS by James Clear Introduction Where do I start? How do I start? Well, i was never fascinated by books. I was a movie-series guy. I love to watch anything rather than a read, be it Harry Potter, Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Sherlock Holmes or any other for say. Being a lazy person who just won't turn up for reading books to a habitual reader. How? HOW?? It was a fine evening, on 3rd of July, 2024, I got a free coupon in a book fair. I saw hundreds and thousands of books of different genre : Fiction and fantasy, biography and autobiography, documentation, history, mystery, romance, thriller, poetry, and many more. I'm a big crime-mystery-thriller fan if you see the movie buff in me. But, the coupon I had wasn't worth enough for me to buy any crime thriller nor any mystery book at the fare. Hence i decided to buy 'Atomic habits by James Clear' never I knew it would create a huge impact on my lifestyle or my mental health. Trust me, it worked a lot well...
