Showcasing This Week’s Reads For You
My weekly roundup of inspiring reads — 10
I have not been as active as I’d have liked to, on Medium, the past week —what with so much to do. As I mentioned in my last week’s roundup, I was traveling. I got back mid-week and had to get busy making up for the three days off.
Thank you to everyone who wished me a good trip — it was enjoyable and successful. We had a nice train ride up and down. In fact, since our city’s railway station has recently opened an aquarium — the first of its kind in our country — we went a bit earlier so that we had enough time to browse around. It was beautiful.
And oh, while I was away, Medium quietly sneaked this into my bio:
