Every era produces one player who defines it. For this era of cricket.... Virat Kohli is 𝐇𝐈𝐌. 👑🔥 The numbers will live in the history books, and the world already knows his class. But what we’ll hold on to is how he made us feel throughout. 🥹 Happy birthday, 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐊𝐎𝐇𝐋𝐈! 👑🎂 #PlayBold #ನಮ್ಮRCB #HappyBirthdayKingKohli

The weird jealousy when someone says they’re about to read your favourite book for the first time.

Finished NANDI: Mission to JAVI-1517 by Viraj. I really liked the mix of space, politics and Dev’s search for his sister. Some of the science part went over my head, but I had a good time reading it. Looking forward to book two! #IndianScienceFiction

There is no friend as loyal as a book. Especially the ones that sit on your shelf for years and still wait patiently.

You spend a whole book picturing someone.
Then the movie shows up and a stranger is wearing their clothes.

I don’t judge people by their taste in books. I just quietly notice what’s on their shelf.

Finished reading The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides & I loved it! A gripping psychological thriller that kept me curious about what really happened. The mystery, the storytelling & that ending made this an easy 5⭐ read for me. Highly recommend!

I sometimes miss the characters from a book more than I miss people I actually know. Reading is a strange thing.

Going into a book with absolutely no expectations and finishing it wondering why nobody told you how good it was.

When a book has too many characters and you spend the first hundred pages trying to remember who’s related to whom.

There’s a point in some books where you stop checking how many pages are left and just hope the story keeps going.

Reading a book with a beautiful cover is one thing. Finishing it and realising the story was just as beautiful? That’s a different kind of happiness.

One of the best feelings as a reader is finding someone who has read the same book and immediately understanding why they have so much to say about it.

I recommend a book to someone and then become strangely invested in whether they like it.

I buy books I'm genuinely excited to read and then somehow spend the next few months reading everything except that book.

Lending someone a book & immediately regretting it because you already know you are never seeing that book again. Please tell me I’m not the only one.

September was a slower reading month for me. 📚 Finished 2 books ~ The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo & Days at the Torunka Café. Started The Silent Patient, listened to a few chapters of Articulating Design Decisions & 1984 is still in progress. 😬 Read on 26 days this month.

Finished Days at the Torunka Café. Three different stories, each with something of its own and I liked seeing how they connected. I also loved the café setting. A lovely read overall. 4/5 ⭐️
