This is one of the most soulful records I have ever listened to. His voice is so magical, I cannot begin to describe it. Pradeep Kumar is a treasure, and this album is just “chef’s kiss”

This is quite frankly one of the quirkiest horror books I have read this year. Love it.

Queer horror stories!!!

I really should stay away from bookstores.

For end October, this is the weirdest weather pattern ever. There are storms on both coasts in India.

Will be a fun Winter in Bangalore this year.

And as a response, I was reading this book at the cafe later in the day. The looks I was getting from the people there was worth it.

Lands, Guns, Caste, Woman by Gita Ramaswamy

Proof lies in the curry.

We will see the result tomorrow morning.

Picked this up in the used section at Bookworm, got a 30% off on the reduced price. Re-reading after years, and it still manages to get me into a giggle bout.
Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett.

The Morningside is a weird combination of dystopia, hints of magic and myth. But it’s disappointing, as every thread of story is cut short and then gets replaced with something else.

I am 10% into this book but loving it for not being too tedious about describing lives. The author actually jumps years and talks about the same family.

Started reading this book and wanted to look up the author. Realized I have read stories as a kid, when she published under the name Kavery Bhatt in the magazine Target.

This book seems beautiful. The way describes rural life, politics, and people.

This. This. This is what I am talking about. Why do this? On a new book, in a bookstore.

Here is a curse on you.
May your reading be filled with a boring verbal diarrhea of Dalrymple, and the stupidity of Chetan Bhagat… in one book.
