Hi, I am Sekar!
My passion for reading (at least) one book a week fuels my love for books and drives me to share the insights with others.
With a background in medical science, I enjoy compiling and sharing the fascinating knowledge I gain along the way.
Feel free to reach out and join me in celebrating our shared love for books!
Books let us know we’re not the center of the universe; the universe has many centers.
