As a research student, I read several books every month. Some of these readings pertain to my PhD research, whereas others are read to sustain my intellectual curiosity daily. In this blog, I wish to list all the books I have read and reviewed so far, a link to where you may purchase them, and the list of books yet to be read—but my list, and finally, what I am currently reading.

This website and the newsletter (fuzzy notes) have been a labour of love.
While they are free to access (and will continue to be free), they are not free to create. I spend significant time researching, writing, and proofing every article I publish here, apart from all the logistical aspects of buying and managing the domain and hosting plans.
Each article is written meticulously to help fellow readers (like yourself) get the best knowledge, which is also witty and articulate in this outlook. You may reach out to me at [email protected] (and tell me what you liked about the essay you may have just read or if you want me to write on anything you wish to read).
If you have benefitted from reading articles on my website and the newsletter, consider buying me a coffee (as a token of love and appreciation ♥). If you cannot do so now, it’s okay! (understandably, each of us has our problems to deal with every day.) You can still do something else: share the article with someone who may like it.
