i was an avid reader, inculcated this habit in my schooldays. i used to be the kid that read on the bus ride to & from school; i was that dedicated. but unfortunately, i didn't keep at it and eventually paused reading for a bit around 12th grade well into my college years.
i picked it up back again during covid but wasn't very committed to it. but then i rekindled this old flame, so as a promise to myself, i consciously committed to it last year and have been very regular at it. i owe a large part of re-building this habit to blossoms, a very old bookstore in bangalore.
as part of that commitment, i've been tracking the books i'm reading. next thing to do would be to draft book summaries, reviews. oh also, i started a bookclub at IG - although it turned out to be a safe space to talk about work, mental health, lifestyle, entrepreneurship, parenting for my colleagues, but that's okay :)
