Welcome! 🥳
Hi there! I’m Kushal and this is my little corner on the World Wide Web and the guy on the other side of the screen.
I’m a Learner who Dreams and a Dreamer who Writes.
I started this blog because of a ‘lightbulb moment’ in my head where I felt guilty of reading books and keep all the knowledge with me. In this blog I share my experiences with books, write about what I learnt in them and sometimes sneak in my creative side as well. I write for the sheer joy of knowing what I write could be of value to someone. I tried to create a space where you can learn and gain insights on many things.
If you’re looking to learn about writing and blogging, or have no time to read books but wish to gain valuable nuggets from them or just sit back, relax and read a few stories and poem, this blog has you sorted. I’m working on quite a few things which might interest you! 😎
What I am working on?
- You can find Book Reviews and Notes of the books I read.
- A comprehensive list of books I am trying to read from every country in the world in Project Cross Borders and every book from each state in India in Project India.
- A few Short Stories and Poems that really excite me. (Most people don’t expect the endings though :P)
- On this website, I also write on productivity, travel, cycling and some general advice in my How To section.
- I write about the Environment as well which is something I believe is something all of us can benefit from.

The Machine | Short Story
One night he slept. Come morning, there it was; a machine of unknown origin that attracted far and wide and send them back smiling.
But, at what cost? Humanity?
Life For The Dead | Short Story
If there were a day where you were free.
Free of the confines of life, but chained by a looming death.
What would a world look like when you could find life for the dead.
Waking Up to the Ghosts of the Morning | Short Story
When the alarms start blaring and lights turn on, that’s when the ghosts come out.
No longer confined to nights and full moons they haunt mercilessly with smiles…
And the fate of a family is at stake.
I’m Fine | Short Story
It’s Christmas eve.
This is a story of give and take.
And that of a really uncomfortable, desperate Santa!

Can making mistakes make you admirable? | The Pratfall Effect
Hey there! I’ve had been through a couple of interviews and in each one, I felt I somehow botched it. In some, I was selected (and that came as a surprise). In some, I was rejected (as expected). But, what if there is another effect that is at play oblivious to us? How is it […]

Why Should we Care about The Earth Overshoot Day?
We have used up all the resources our Earth could have produced this year a week ago! We are living on resources of the next year!
