Those who read can relate to what a pleasurable activity it is. It is the easier way to get lost in another world. With advancements in technology, although we can conveniently read books on any gadget, I find it most soothing to pick up a hard copy, cozy up with a cup of hot beverage, and read a book.
Last year, I transitioned from reading fiction to more non-fiction.
As per their description, fiction refers to settings and characters created from fantasy, while nonfiction refers to factual stories focused on true events and people. Contrary to beliefs that non-fiction is boring, it can be deeply enlightening to be exposed to real people’s lives and philosophies.
Here are my top three picks of books you can read and will truly enjoy.
Ikigai by Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles
The book is based on the Japanese philosophy of living long. It talks about finding your Ikigai. It is a short read and worth every word. It is one of those books where you will bookmark words and phrases and possibly keep revisiting them.
Power of the Subconscious Mind by Dr Joseph Murphy
It is a compelling book about the storehouse that your brain is and what miracles it can achieve by just believing in and trusting your thoughts. In each chapter, he talks about examples, and events and leaves you, the reader, with a summary of tips that you can try for yourself.
Think like a Monk by Jay Shetty
This book is based on the author’s experience of spending time as a monk and talks about overcoming obstacles in life with anecdotes and methods from his point of view. The book itself is a nice read and gives a perspective on things in life from a different angle.
As I go pick up my next book to read, I hope you have a good day reading to your heart’s delight.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
