Phew! It’s been a mad dash but we finally made it!

And I don’t think it’s altogether surprising that it feels like we just made the flight for that delicious beach vacation we’ve been thirsting after for a century by the skin of our teeth!

The two of us have been talking about and lusting after this blog for just about ev-er now! And of course, we thought 29^th of Feb would be a great date we could comfortably make. So Not!

We’ve been known as bookworms and nerds and several other unflattering names but hey, what would you know! How a good book can lift up the worst day or speed up the most tiresome journey or bring life in Technicolor to cold and lonely hours …

Why do we read? Because nothing tells the story of mankind like a book – from the past to the future and all the dreams in between. And because there isn’t a better drug than a good story …
