I was an avid reader of literature since my childhood. There were few religious books in our house which I used to relish. In those times I read Ramayana, Mahabharata, books by Vivekananda.

I received autobiograpy of Milkha Singh as an award when I was in fifth class. It was quite nice to read.

When I reached high school my interest got shifted to Hindi prose. Chandrkanata Santati, books by Premchand, Mahadevi Verma, Amrita Pritam, Bacchan… There were a lot others that I am forgetting.

Before MBBS I only read in Hindi and Punjabi. English never came naturally to me.

I was introduced to English literature in my MBBS. I have read a lot of works by different authors both classics and contemporary.

Then something happened.

Slowly, as a result of the lack of time the habit faded away.

I read only sporadically. On PC reading increased with time and books were away.

I still like reading books and have a lot of areas of interset from Poetry to Politics.

I am trying to revive the habits. I would create a note every time I finish one.
