 Reading List for August 2021 (Week 4) by Rochelle D’souza


It is close to a month now and this blog has shared close to 50 articles. If you don’t read too much and have finished reading the articles that the blog has shared for the past three weeks, you should treat yourself. You have really done well for yourself. And nothing works better than positive reinforcement.


Doing anything new needs patience and those of you who learnt to be consistent with reading articles need to reward yourselves. 


With about 100 days to CAT, let us promise ourselves to continue reading. Keep up the good work and the reward is not far away. Patience is the key and believe me reading is a wonderful habit which nurtures you to become a better version of yourself.


Also this week I am sharing an article that one of the readers, Subin Subair has shared. Subin enjoyed reading this article and recommended that I share it with you. If any of you would like to share articles that you found interesting, do share it with me and I will share it with the others. 


Lastly,this week instead of a short book, I am sharing a link to Sea Prayer by Khaled Hosseini.



The  list for this week has 15 articles and 1 video link that you can read during this week.

Reading List by Rochelle Dsouza - Year 2024 - 2nd January

Hello everyone!  Happy New Year to you and all your loved ones. May we read a little more… A new year is associated with new beginnings. And I saw so many putting in their efforts to help create that motivation to begin afresh through posts having quotes and sayings, and even word searches. So I made one for you. But I don’t want you to settle for the first word you find. Instead search for what you really want to work on. So now that you have found that goal, let’s work on it and write down 3 things you would do to ensure that goal is attained.  Coming back to the reading list, like last year, I will again share a list of 20 articles and a few short stories. If there is anything else you would like me to include, do write to me. I have enjoyed putting together a list of articles for you to read. My goal is to help you find the joy of reading.  Sharing this week’s list of 20 articles . Including a special section for poems for XAT takers Good luck to all those taking XAT 2024.  https:/

Reading List by Rochelle Dsouza - Year 2022 Week May 23rd, 2022

Hello everyone!  Hope all of you had a lovely weekend and met your targets. As for me, my target this week was to relax and rejuvenate myself. I think I fared pretty well as I met my target. :) I had a wonderful week with my family as we went out to spend some time away from this hot weather. Spending time with your loved ones is a blessing and we take this for granted often when we spend each day just doing our tasks.  Another happy moment was when I came across a lovely song ‘Khula Asmaan’ which I want to share with you. It makes me feel emptiness, which is actually a beautiful feeling. My favourite line in this song is - Tu dhoop, mein saya.  Khula Asmaan (Firmament) | Unbounded Abaad | Purbayan Chatterjee, Javed Ali | Sufiscore Now, back to the reading list. And don’t forget to share your feedback, comments, suggestions Reach out to me on rochelle@quoinacademy.com . Let’s set sail! https://lithub.com/kate-eichhorn-on-the-rise-of-insta-artists-and-insta-poets/ https://www.japantime
