- The story of a man wandering the streets as he learns to hear the stories of the trees and pavement. The past echoes through him as he digs deep inside himself to find what it all means. Original soundtrack playing throughout
- Ocean eyes is one song that I don't know brings me a kind of calm when I listen to it before I sleep. Billie eilish has become one of my top artist.
- I love this book series. Ella Lynch does such a fantastic job brining Maude Greenleaf, witch and Lich to life. It's book two and does such a good job of building up Maude's power as a lich, her delight at her powers, and at sewing new things. It also gives brief looks at Maude from the outside, showing her as the undead horror she is. We also see the contrast between Maude and another Lich, the contrast between her using her powers to do things like make ghost flowers and zombie bees, while all her opponent does is consume and destroy. Seriously it's an awesome series.
- There's not only a single plot in it but many to invent, the omnibus contains multiple stories tracking Himu's psychological insights. You will get to see some witty social satire too. I personally have read the book and liked it very much. But audio book makes you feel connected to the story more. I recommend it.
- Toba Tek Singh Manto offers a painfully original perspective on the tragedy of Partition, never before presented in any literature. This short story is about a patient of a mental asylum Bishan Singh, who is looking for Toba Tek Singh. Will he reach the soil he desires? https://youtu.be/wLfwvQc8R-A
- A beautiful novel that blends love, faith, and self-discovery in a touching way. Its simple yet powerful message stays with you long after you finish reading.
- I really enjoyed listening to **Servant Leader**. It reminded me that true leadership is about serving others, building trust and helping people grow. Simple, practical and inspiring.
