That day in rain . . .
As Bill Watterson said “Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book”, I do agree with him. I don’t get this idea of why people find rain so romantic.

Cross Connection by Preety Praveen Book Review
First, I would like to say that this book while reading kind of gave me 2 States from Chetan Bhagat vibes, both the stories are different, but these two have a personal touch, which makes it more believable and a reader can enjoy that while reading. Our main character is Simar. She wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, most probably MBBS. Eventually, … Continue reading Cross Connection by Preety Praveen Book Review
