'tuesdays with Morrie' with Mitch Albom
📚
This one really taught me that you don't need to be bald to be a star of your trade.

Hey! I am talking about Robin Sharma and the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. 😉

When it comes to life lessons, this book is way more realistic and way less cringe.
Bonus : it's a True Story. 
📚
To summarise in one line, I'll tell you the complete title - 'tuesdays with Morrie - an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson' 😎
The book is a memoir of Author's Professor at Brandeis University Mr Morrie Schwartz.
SPOILER ALERT : The book talks about Positive and Energetic Morrie's Tryst with ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease. It's a disease that we know from Stephen Hawking and the Ice Bucket Challenge but this book will tell you so much more - how it affects the body, taking over part by part. Sounds heartbreaking?
Don't worry - Morrie's Positivity Lessons with Mitch every Tuesday will keep you going. Morrie says some very beautiful things, which change your perspective on life and your priorities. And he seeing so much beauty from such tough physical conditions will make you feel motivated at times and sad at some others - but beautiful all the while.
📚
My favorite quote from the book is when he talks about Aging. Heading to 31, the crows' feet sometimes bother me, but here's what Morrie says -
"The truth is, part of me is every age. I'm a three-year-old, I'm a five-year-old, I'm a thirty-seven-year-old, I'm a fifty-year-old. I've been through all of them, and I know what it's like. I delight in being a child when it's appropriate to be a child. I delight in being a wise old man when it's appropriate to be a wise old man. Think of all I can be! I am every age, up to my own. Do you understand?"
📚
It was a short, sweet and magical read. A 4/5. ✨
Read it for positivity, especially on Tuesdays - just the way Morrie and Mitch did. 🎄

They say that a Cancerian is the most homesick sun sign. What if a Cancerian is homeless and still feels homesick?

Delhi Through the Seasons

Good books I just dive into.  But better books I save for good occasions. Like this one, that I saved for my trip to the mountains. 🌸 'Delhi through the seasons' by Khushwant Singh 🌸 Having aptly been called the modern Barahmaaha, with a theme of nature, DTTS talks about the rotating wheel of seasons in Delhi and North India, in general. Having been written by the maestro Khushwant, based on his diary entries and his observations as a bird watcher (it was a surprise for me too to find another feather in his hat), it addresses one aspect that all other Barahmaaha treatises of the past chose to ignore - nature - flowers and birds and animals. I'm not an outdoorsy person per se, and my meagre knowledge of flowers and trees is something I've given up my hope on. But thanks to the divine illustrations by Suddhasattwa Basu, I felt as if I was sitting in Lodi Gardens while reading this one, surrounded by fragrance and chitterings.  🌸 So read this one to get to k...

From Pique to Peace

Hey lovely people How are you all doing? Any news? No news? Well that does mean good news, because no news is good news *wink wink* But these days, we have even stopped talking about bad news. Sometimes out of insecurity, other times out of the fear of being laughed at. In my case too, I would hide any bad happening in my life whenever I can, just for the (innocent) pleasure of snatching that victorious smirk, that flutters for a second, on the ill facades of "well wishers" when they get to know about your bad times. Haha! Who needs paying for spiritual motivational classes (synonym - phony religious ashrams) after this. I already let out their trade secret - be the smug jerk, who though may be having a terrible break up or suffering a boring marriage, who might be in debt upto his eyes, or might be flunking all the college subjects, but would still rub the face of the world in dirt by telling them about his contentment and newfound bliss, new diet or regime a...
