Well, I have had this habit since childhood. Back at that time , I enjoyed reading Disney series a lot . - "Cinderella", "Beauty and the Beast", "Rapunzel", "Heidi", "Snow White", "Aladdin", and the famous Indian comic series "Chacha Choudhary" is my childhood nostalgia.And by the time, my interest moved on to short stories and fiction. I love reading Humayun Ahmed and other famous works of English literature. Famous books like- "Pride and Prejudice" , "The Way of the World" , "The Great Gatsby" , "Romeo and Juliet" , "Hamlet" and "Troy" are my all-time favorites. Nowadays , I mostly read Humayun Ahmed- "Kothao keo nei " ,"Jochna O Jonoi " "Eishon Din Ratri" , "Notdito Noroke", these feel like voices of how I view life and the world around. His characters, especially the female ones, resonate with me. They think like me, feel like me, and even cry like me. Every day, I try to read even a single page because it gives me “me” time amidst my monotonous daily routine and renews my thought process.
