Reading List for September (Week 2) by Rochelle D’souza

Come September and the festivities begin in India. I  just love this festive season as the holidays offer us the much needed break and time to rejuvenate we all long for. This month spend atleast 2 days relaxing and spending time with your loved ones. (Keep the covid guidelines in mind)

Keeping the time of the year in mind, I will include 5 more articles dedicated to Indian mythology. Extra articles can do no harm :) Let me know if you enjoyed reading those articles. 

We have another reader who has recommended articles this week. Mehar has shared an article that she found interesting. Thank you Mehar. You can find her recommendation as you read further. 

I’m happy to read your comments that you share via the comment section, email and chat. Thank you for the feedback. Please keep writing. I enjoy interacting with you. 

The list for this week has 23 articles (18 + 5). It also includes a short book Of Mice and Men that you can read during this week.
