Feb 2021 – Reading Status
The last year 2020, was terrible in terms of reading. I heard a lot of podcasts but didn’t read much. This year’s goal is to read 25 Kannada books minimum; any books I read in English are special. You can track them under the tag #25KA2021 on my social blog. In Jan and Feb, I read five, which is a decent start.
