     If you are looking for you next read, worry not. Here's my top 5 favourite romance novels. If you are hopelessly romantic, you would definitely love these recommendations. Four of these books are also adapted into movies.  1. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes Scence from the movie 'Me Before You' Me Before You (Hardcover) Admist the backdrop of rich and working class, is the love story of Louisa & William. Me Before You is about love, taking risks, exploring who you are and who you want to be. Lou is so kind, caring, quirky, and full of colour. Will is wise, handsome, and has some quirks of his own. There are so many components of their life, that got left out in the movie.  P.S. : Me Before You is a Trilogy. The sequel books are 'After You' and 'Still Me'. I haven't read the other two, but I'm looking forward to it. Also a novella 'Lou in Lockdown'. If you have read all the 3 novels, tell me about it in the comments below.  2. A Walk to R...

Covid-19 struck the world like lightening, and everything was shut down overnight. People could not leave their houses. Schools and colleges were forced to close. Businesses had to shut down. People were laid off from their jobs. The pandemic uprooted our lives, in a blink of an eye. Scientists all over the world were trying to figure out this new virus, and find its cure. Thanks to the advancement in science and medicine, we soon learnt ways to avoid and slow the spread of the virus. With time, we adapted technology to keep our day-to-day lives on track. We couldn’t meet our loved ones in person, but we can still see and talk to them through video calling. We found communities with who we share our interests on social media. Though schools and colleges switched from desks and benches in our classrooms, to the comfort of our couches. Teachers found new ways to interact with students, through online classrooms and video conferencing applications. Digital India opportunities in this peri...

Women Empowerment is the process in which women elaborate & recreate what it is to be in a circumstance, that they were previously denied. It means accepting & allowing people (women) who are on the outside of the decision – making process into it. It refers to making women powerful to make them capable of deciding for themselves.
