Amazing Asawari❤...Feel like reading this book right away
Thank you so much! Do read it, and let me know your opinion.
In the world of exponentially growing and addictive “shorts” promoting materialistic things, “The reading lamp” is an oasis and ray of hope. It’s a great concept and you are executing it very well. Your tasteful selection of books, understanding of the core themes, interpretation of “reading between the lines” matter, unfolding subtle aspects by adding necessary perspectives without compromising integrity of original work, narrative quality, articulate but friendly and engaging demeanor makes it an enjoyable and cerebral experience. After watching “A Man Called Ove” episode (A Man Called Otto is one of my top 10 favorite movie), I subscribed to this channel and will surely follow past as well future episodes as they are released. Also sharing it with our “Sahitya Katta” group members. Wishing you all the best!. Keep up the good work…
Thank you so much for that extremely encouraging feedback. It motivates me to do my best with every episode 🙏🏼
Nice Info Ashu❤
Thank you very much ❤️
Brilliant info and presentation....
Glad you liked it! Thank you 🙏🏼
Would like to meet that book seller.
I think he still runs the stall at the same place. I’ll take you there if you visit us 😃
This leaves me no choice but to grab my copy and read it ASAP. Very well narrated and a great choice.
Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m sure you will enjoy it.
