**On Swap break from Dec 2021 - 1st quarter of 2022*

Hi!

I am new here. And I am looking forward to starting this new journey, which I’m sure will bring a lot of joy to me and I, in turn, hope to bring some joy to others!

I am an Indian, currently living in Hong Kong. I am 32 and married (no kids yet!).

I love journaling and planning, travelling and reading...and dogs! I love vintage style and it's my favorite theme to use in my journals.

I listen to all sorts of music, even metal sometimes. Some of my absolute favorites are from the 80s to around 2000s.

Oasis

Queen

Aerosmith

Elton John

Metallica

Coldplay

Maroon 5

Ed Sheeran

I LOVE Harry Potter books. Actually I am pretty much obsessed. I re-read them every year. I grew up with them and these books are the ones that go me into reading, and I eventually went on to study literature. [Disclaimer: I believe in separating the art from the artist, and I love the stories. However, I do not agree with her views]

I adore historical fiction, biographies, autobiographies, memoirs. I also enjoy non-fiction books, particularly books on history. I also love reading books by new authors or by lesson known authors from around the world.

I try to read at least 30-40 books per year.

• A Song of Ice and Fire

  • A Game of Thrones

  • A Clash of Kings

  • A Storm of Swords

  • A Feast for Crows

  • A Dance with Dragons

  • Philosopher's Stone

  • Chamber of Secrets

  • Prisoner of Azkaban

  • Goblet of Fire

  • Order of the Phoenix

  • Half-Blood Prince

  • Deathly Hallows

• Klara and the Sun

• First Person Singular

• Atomic Habits

• Nocturnes

• Lady Oracle

• Unfinished

• Zikora

• No One is Talking About This

• Light Perpetual

*Re-reading some classics this year:

• Pride and Prejudice

• Northanger Abbey

• Mansfield Park

• Sense and Sensibility

I love watching superhero movies, fantasies, romantic comedies, basically anything except horror movies.

• Marvel movies

• DC movies

• Disney movies

• Quentin Tarantino movies

• The Shawshank Redemption

Currently I am enjoying Korean dramas. But I love sitcoms the best, also coming of age dramas, fantasies.

• Friends

• Brooklyn Nine-Nine

• The Big Bang Theory

• Game of Thrones

• Dark

• Bridgerton
