Weekly Roundup for the Week starting July 12, 2021
The week started off with the Puri Jagannath Rath Yatra and therefore a special book on that. We did a couple of books around childhood and mischief and a book on how being over smart doesn’t work in your favour always. Winding up with a book on how giving freedom to whom you love is so important.
Here they are :
