But now then I realize that it's just that I am looking at it completely from the perspective of solving it. What happened? How did it happen, and finding the clues. And that's why I loved the classic mysteries of Angita Christie and Sherlock Holmes so much. I like finding. I like the journey

Even after finishing a book of the genre, you are left with this state of mind where you're sort of still analyzing the plot or still analyzing what happened right in the end or what you experienced. And it always lingers at the corner of your mind. So that's something I really like about thrillers and psychological thrillers or the mystery genre, basically. So you have, like, Gillian Flynn and then Sherlock Holmes and even Amitav Kosher's. Calcutta chromosome

But back then, he simply would take me to a world where it would leave me casping and guessing until the very last page. I think I might have devoured every book written by him. At this point, I actually grew up in a very chaotic household and others time really provided me with that escape window to zone out of all my surroundings and immerse myself in the world of horror. But it all felt believable. Actually. It was really cathartic. And since then, reading became my sole escape

Hi dear. It was so wonderful to get a glimpse into your childhood and your choices. Books can do that, don't they? They can be an outlet. They can be our escape. They can give us a window into another world. And so much more fun. Has had a challenging day. They can be a reprieve. If one wants good company, they are repelled. The ability to help us travel into different lives, into different worlds. So beautiful

But I am just so happy to come across someone who enjoys suspense, thrillers and this entire genre so much. And I haven't read Calcutta Chromosome, but I will surely try to read that in this year. And yeah, we can swap notes on it. See you

And I thought of sharing this with this group because I really loved how people are sharing their journey about getting inspired by books or falling in love with books. And there's so much I can share about just the general topic, but justice to this I may just add that, yes, I still remember Chatur, Chaudhry and Sabu and how they solve the different crimes. And those comics were the only thing I used to look forward to when I was a kid

Okay, so I don't know about you all, but there was this another comic called Pinky. So I'm uploading a picture here for the reference. So while I was this obedient and intervalted child, I lived quite curiously through her because Pinkie was this girl who was messy and rebellious. She was a menace in her neighborhood. And I remember my Nanaji used to get me a bundle of Pinky comics every time he came to visit

I was just seven and walking with my mother, who would raise the stakes every time I asked for a comic homework housework, behaving myself. And then on fridays, when we passed that old bookstall right outside on the pavement, the pile of comics lying on the plastic sheet, and I would release myself from my mother's hold and pick from that pile a bunch of latest chacha chaudhry or sometimes pinky

You. Hi, Nisha. Thank you so much for your reply. It gave me both a sense of relief and a sense of joy. To be honest, I had been wondering why people stop replying or what is a meaningful closure on a topic or a conversation? It or even if I had done something wrong, is it? I was afraid if well, just like other social media platforms and people are just drifting off. Anyways, your reply restored my faith in a way, hence the relief
