A Literary Refuge
The author, a journalist based in Mumbai and the force behind Sonya's Book Box, initiated a practice of choosing short stories over the constant pull of social
media. This conscious decision was an effort to seek a different pace and engage with narratives more deeply. This choice offered a mental break and fostered a sense of immersion. The curated selection of books, the heart of Sonya's Book Box, became the tool for both personal escape and wider understanding. Through carefully chosen short stories, the author found a route to explore diverse human experiences and various geographic locales, offering a different form of engagement than that from daily digital feeds.
Beyond The Screen
In the bustle of Mumbai life, the pull of social media can be relentless. The choice to forego scrolling in favor of short stories served as a deliberate act of resistance, a setting aside of digital noise for the written word. This shift promoted a more profound experience than the constant stream of updates. The author's selections, guided by a dedication to curated reading, were designed to provide a rich and immersive encounter. It wasn't just about reading; it was about stepping into different worlds and developing a deeper comprehension of different people and places. This process offered a welcome counterpoint to the hurried interactions that dominate contemporary communication.
Sonya's Book Box
