Read this while chomping on a McSpicy Paneer Wrap. And now I have to watch The Founder again.

105th of the year.

I have missed out on too many kiddie books in my childhood, but hey, catching up now! This is a very fun and simple tale, but the lasting message in this story stayed with me - in acts where children cross boundaries set by adults are signals of their creativity and potential. So nice!

103rd of the year.

With #MaheepSingh, exploring the beautiful place where he encourages young and upcoming performers - #Atelier in Ghitorni. Also working on a very exciting #project, more details soon!

Next time in the area, do pay Atelier Cafe a visit.

Baked cranberry Rasgulla! Chef Saransh Goila's recipe and Master Class.
I had a floating cuppa!

This is the kind of #book that happens when the author decides the real world is too insipid to exist in and hence it must be transported to a kid's notebook in its entirety. A doodly world is always a better world.

102nd of the year.

All that passion is to talk about talking. As a part of the EFL classes at #ShivNadarSchool Gurgaon, I took a session on effective verbal #communication today. And we simply called it a class on 'talking'. Makes it simpler, baggage-less and creates the opportunity to expand the horizons of verbal communication to include fights with friends, disagreements at home and elevator pitches at work.

The two major epics of India have many points of convergence and many discrepancies - this is how texts based in the same tradition behave and evolve. The book is fun, simple and even deep at some points. However, few comparisons seemed force and frivolous.

101st book of the year.

मक़ाम 'फ़ैज़' कोई राह में जचा ही नहीं
जो कू-ए-यार से निकले तो सू-ए-दार चले

My 100th book of the year is this heavy and rather comprehensive biography of #Faiz Ahmed Faiz, my absolute favourite poet. One whom I often dream of, actually. Finished reading it today, on his death anniversary.

You own nothing.
