Are you dating the world yet? #TheBlindList

On Mental Health & Friends
My Dear Friends, It pains me to find out that you are struggling. That your mental health is a cause for concern to you and the people around you. Do you know what makes me proud though? The fact that you have identified what ails you. There are so many people who spend a lifetime…
6 Reasons why Reading is the best habit to have
My reading habit was formed thanks to the ‘Library Period’ at school. This once-a-week practice required us to stay put silently in our beautiful library and read compulsorily for an hour.

Why I loved Arjun Reddy
Arjun Reddy is a 2017 Telugu film. It is a bold film, something unlike anything Indian Cinema has seen so far. Needless to say, its release created controversies.
