Rediscovering Reading through Kindle So, I bought a Kindle Oasis. Yayyyyyy!!!!! But... when I unboxed and started using I was left with mixed feelings. Firstly, the kindle is so small not even the size of a small book. When compared to my iPad, I feel like "Are you guys joking?" but then when I realize Kindle is just 25% of what an iPad costs, "Not a joke!" The cardinal reasons why I bought a kindle? 1) It's been long pending since I became a voracious reader in 2019. Reading in kindle is way much better than reading in iPad or mobile. In dark room, it feels like nothing. And I can rea ..read more

But my mind didn't had enough attention scope to explore these books. Few years back, after coming across the Big Bang TV show, Sheldon and Leonard's love for comics, I had collected more th ..read more

CRUEL WORLD Oh, how cruel is this world! I do not remember With or without my consent I was put into this globe And made to suffer, constantly.

For everything that I desire I am forced to await Magic and Miracles One day, I lose hope Even in the marvels of life. If only you can hear me... - Maddie #ThankYouForReadi ..read more
