Dopamine Detox by Thibaut Meurisse
I wouldn’t say that this book is enlightening and you get information that is not already available on the internet. Despite that, it is an excellent quick read. It starts with some technicalities and science behind dopamine. Later tells you repetitively to avoid social media to stop procrastinating. Again, not that we don’t know it, […]

Knotted Grief by Naveen Kishore
It’s a short book of poems, but do take your time to read. Mostly in Haiku-like poems, the lines are short, some just one word. The first poem Kashmiriat is my top favourite from the book.

Gemma is not a detective but helps in the death case of Anna involuntarily because she has been requested by Lauren, the 11-year daughter of the suspect Sheila. The way the story flows with all the twists and […]
