  • Bookish raft in Ganga

    Day 2 Breakfast Mitesh looks cute in Bhavita’s pink sweater. We have his toothpaste. This is probably what Dumbledore was aiming for, inter-house unity. We were all exchanging stuff. Limited packing due to space issue in our Innova’s & cab’s. The resort was gaav at end pe. Sach me. It was inside a forest of…

  • Pocket Diary Book Club Ghanerao Retreat: Log 3 Oranges & Snakes

    Everyone I saw was reading a book, in the canopy outside, on a window sill. Poha, Parantha, Dahi and bluffmaster Nirali.

  • Into the Blissful Abyss – a voyage with books

    “I suspect the truth is that we are waiting, all of us, against insurmountable odds, for something extraordinary to happen to us.” ― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed Picture a guy with shabby dressing sense, largely middle-class upbringing, endeared in a fairly conservative family, indifferent about most things except Bollywood and Cricket – that…

  • Don’t Judge a Book by its Reader: Exploring the Wacky World of Reader Bias

    When we pick up a book, we bring our own experiences, beliefs, and values to the table. This can lead to biases when interpreting and understanding the content of the book. But, what exactly are these biases, and how do they influence our reading experience? Confirmation bias is one such bias, where we tend to…
