Some Amazing stories: Recommendations 2021
Books are an integral part of my life; it’s been over 2 years since I have started reading and all this time I have read a lot of good books. Last year, when I wrote a blog on book recommendations, I had decided to turn it into a series. Thus, every year I will list down some of the best books I have read throughout the year. So, this year I have read 12 books so far and most of them are amazing. Here’s a list of books I loved and you might as well: WHO MOVED MY CHEESE?

The I don’t know phase: Lockdown 2.0
Just when we thought that everything is about to be normal again, March 2021 happened. It feels as if we are stuck and there’s no way out. The current scenario seems similar to what had happened last year but feels extremely different. When all of this started again many of us might have thought that this won’t be so difficult as we lived all this earlier too, but this time it is not the same, there’s no excitement, there wasn’t a need for a vacation, we were at our home for over a year, we wanted to get out of this covid cycle asap and get going with our normal…

BREAKING THE CONVENTION OF NOT BEING UNCONVENTIONAL.
Every year nearly 1.5 million students get their degree in engineering. In medical, India produces over 50,000 doctors per year. As of the field of law, 60,000 lawyers enter the profession every year. And the list goes on and on. There are many professions and every year there are millions of students who enter this new phase of their life, adulting, stepping into something which will define them as individuals and somehow mark the rest of their lives in some way or the other. It is said that “education is the most powerful weapon which can change the world”, and yes indeed it is. Are there only a few professions…
