Hi Readers! Another month gone by swiftly. It was a gruelling one, with too many unknowns. There wasn\u2019t a lot happening on the surface, but deep down, it was a Tsunami. But, I feel like you always need months like that to shake your entire belief system, make you question things, and constantly ask you how long will you keep running away. It was a month where I have felt rage, anxiety and just been at a loss of words. This was why \u2018Pause\u2019 was my April theme<\/strong><\/mark>. Relax, rethink, restrategize, if you want to sound dramatic. This was unfortunately or maybe even fortunately for important aspects of life \u2013 work, physical health and mental health. Everything I have done since has helped me get back to myself and form a new goal. So, fingers crossed that it will be more ups and fewer downs for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whew! Didn\u2019t mean to be so serious starting off, but here we are now! Let\u2019s talk about the books I read in April!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~~COUNTERATTACKS AT THIRTY by WON-PYUNG SOHN~~<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you feel like you are drowning, there is always something you find which mirrors your life and gives you clarity on what you should do. Some times it\u2019s subtle. Other times it\u2019s a book which may as well be about your life. Such was in my case when I read Counterattacks at Thirty! This book\u00a0pretends to be about the silent protests that employees do as a revenge for not being treated well at their workplace. I say \u2018pretends to be\u2019 because this book lured me in because of that, but I stayed because of something else! The book is a mirror. It was to me. It will make you question,\u00a0\u201cWhat do you really want to be?\u201d\u00a0so many times that the escapism route you usually opt for (reading) in itself will banish you from the escape with this question. It will make you question your purpose. It will either make you realize something you already knew or throw light on something you had always ignored. It will be relatable. It will be an eye opener.\u00a0It will be uncomfortable in the best way possible. I have rated read Counterattacks at Thirty by Sohn won-pyung, translated from Korean by Sean Lin Halbert at 4\/5 stars!<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
