Why I Like Biographies

Hello,

I love to read. I have a large collection of books and have read a lot of them two or three times. My favourite books to read are biographies. Here I will tell you why.

Everyday I am surrounded by people who inspire me - family, friends, co-workers and people I meet. I have a big interest in people's life stories and draw inspiration from them. That is why I love to read biographies.

I like to read about how celebrities and people who are in the public eye came to be where they are today. Reading about what their childhood was like, how they grew up and things they have done and experienced interests me.

I especially love reading about people who have had tough lives and been through many obstacles but have come out on top and are now very successful in their careers and are leading happy lives. Those stories really inspire and motivate me to work hard to achieve what I want to and never give up.

Below is a list of my favourite autobiographies and biographies. Maybe you would like to check them out some time.

Grace, Gold & Glory - Gabrielle Douglas


Waiting To Be Heard - Amanda Knox



Kris Jenner and All Things Kardashian


A Stolen Life - Jaycee Dugard


Born To Be King - Prince William


Have a great weekend everyone!

Vishi xoxo

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...
