Hi, I'm

# AnshikaWelcome to my cozy cornerof the internet

A book lover, chai enthusiast, and storyteller at heart. I believe every great story deserves to be shared over a warm cup of chai. Join me as I navigate through pages, one chapter at a time.

## My Reading Journey

How it all began

My love affair with books started when I was just a little girl, curled up in my grandmother's lap as she read me stories from ancient Indian epics. Those magical moments, with the smell of old books and the warmth of her voice, planted a seed that would grow into an unshakeable passion.

As I grew older, books became my escape, my teachers, and my constant companions. From devouring Enid Blyton's adventures to discovering the rich tapestry of Indian literature, each book shaped who I am today. The turning point came in 2015 when I read a book that completely changed my perspective on life.

That's when I realized I wanted to share these transformative experiences with others. I started documenting my thoughts, creating a space where stories could breathe and readers could find their next favorite book. Today, reading isn't just a hobby—it's a way of life, a journey I'm honored to share with you.

## How This Blog Came to Life

The story behind chapters.aur.chai

chapters.aur.chai was born from a simple desire: to create a space where books meet chai, and stories find a home. After years of sharing book recommendations with friends over countless cups of chai, I realized there was a need for a platform that felt personal, authentic, and cozy—not algorithmic or overwhelming.

In 2020, during a time when the world slowed down, I decided to turn my passion into something tangible. This blog is my love letter to slow reading, thoughtful reviews, and the beautiful community of readers who believe that every story matters.
