I am an engineer by occupation and a reader by disposition. Books are what I spend most of my waking hours with, next to my day job. I read for the pleasure of reading and fiction is my gateway to worlds and lives far beyond the mundane, ordinary grind of everyday. I discovered sometime ago that I like writing about what I read and I've been writing book reviews, short and long, since then on various platforms. I like thrillers the most, of both the fast-paced and slow-burn varieties. Mountains are my another love and I spend as much time as possible trekking and climbing mountains, or dreaming of doing so. My book review blog, reviewdbyaravind.blogspot.com is in its infancy and I hope to find enough time in the near future to nurture it.
