Reading Challenges and Me



Dear reader, Greetings. It has been a while since I did some serious reading. I recently decided to delve into my world of teaching and research. The day, the decision was officially approved, I was invited to join the Whatsapp based reading club - Readers' Rendevouz. I fondly remember the good times we had in RR where we did everything possible to break the boundaries of a WhatsApp based reading group. I also remember the lovely books which I read only because of RR – Ignorance by Milan Kundera, 21 lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari, Red Sorghum by Mo Yan, The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, The Gospel of Yudas by K.R Meera, Harvest by Manjula Padmanabhan, Life of Pi by Yann Martel, and now reading – Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell. The four books which I read without being a member of RR were – The trilogy novels of R.K Narayan – (Swami and friends, Bachelor of Arts and The English Teacher) and Milk Teeth by Amrita Mahale.
