All readers have a fantasy of building a mini-library; a room dedicated to books or something of that sort. At least that has been the case for me ever since I can remember. In fact, none of the books I read till middle school were borrowed — I bought them all and made quite a …
It takes us a while to acknowledge that other people are equally sophisticated and unique as ourselves. There’s a term for that: sonder.
I wrote the first post on 22nd July 2011 but the blog itself was created on 6th July 2011, a fact that I had forgotten. However, WordPress was kind enough to remind me about it this year.
