Growing up, my love for reading was deeply ingrained in me by my mother, who used to tell me stories from the puranas. As I grew older, my passion for reading continued to grow, accompanying me through my college years and beyond. I developed an insatiable appetite for books of all genres, with a particular fondness for history.

Books taught me that life’s challenges are transient and continues to in me the courage and confidence to keep moving forward, no matter what obstacles may arise.The impact that books have had on my life is immeasurable. My readings have added value in my political career, as I can discern patterns in the events unfolding around me and confidently call them out.

From Kumaranasan to Orhan Pamuk, my taste in literature varies widely, and I make sure to make time in my day for reading, no matter how busy I am.
