Reading Matters

Hello everyone!  How have all of you been? Five months of the year done and we have the monsoons so, if I have the liberty to call the next season so. Like every year, this year too I am waiting for the rains. I have this love-hate relationship with the rains. I long for it and then when it rains and rains, I want it to go away. But this year, it is different, I want to experience the rains after having missed getting wet for the last two years. With the monsoons hitting Kerala, I think we will see some rain soon.  Rain and reading also share a beautiful relationship. Grab a book and something warm to drink when it rains. Isn't the feeling surreal? Try it this time if you haven’t ever.  Hope you enjoy the reading list this week and don’t forget to share your feedback, comments, suggestions Reach out to me on rochelle@quoinacademy.com .

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.

Hello everyone!  Yesterday most of us celebrated Mother’s Day remembering the wonderful memories we have with our mother. So I would want to share one quality that we, i.e my brother and I picked up from her. My mother is an avid reader and loves buying books. Both us would always see her spend money or what she saved for herself used to buy books she enjoyed reading. The type of books she bought included everything from self help to cooking to anything you could think about under the sun. We both also lead simple lives, nothing really catches our fancy. But we love to spend on books. In fact, if you were to receive a gift from either my brother or me, it would most definitely be a book. We are both grateful to our mother for all the wonderful things she gave us and taught and most importantly this love for books. Wee hope to our inspire our children in the same way.  So, let's look at what we have i store this week - another list of 30 articles is up for reading. Find time to read
