The Midnight Library By Matt Haig – A Review

The beauty of The Midnight Library is that it has the ability to communicate to people who think that their life is overwhelming and difficult. There is a part wherein it says that in the game of chess, even if you have one pawn standing, the game isn’t over. ‘Because pawn is never just a pawn. A pawn is a queen-in-waiting’. These are strong thoughts made using strong words, and this is the strength of the book.

The Ebb and Flow of my Fitness Journey – Part 1

I have always read and listened to the stories of fitness freaks; people who have been into fitness for years, who have a solid routine and who cannot think of a day without working out. While what they do is extremely interesting, I never could relate to them when they say they had a phase when they did not work out. Hence I, being a beginner, decided to journal my journey through my blog. The aim is to document my struggles as and when they happen and come back to this a few years later to see how far I have come. Also, I know that one day, fitness will become a part of my routine and these posts will serve as a ray of hope for anyone who would be, where I am now.
