Its like I just eavesdropped on a very personal conversation between two people very passionately talking about the books they love the most. Beautiful.
These are the ones I read over the past two and a half months : 1) The Outsider - Albert Camus 2) The Family - Mario Puzo 3) The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain 4) The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Mark Twain 5) Animal Farm - George Orwell 6) 1984 - George Orwell 7) Who Moved my cheese - Dr. Spencer Johnson 8) Hard times - Charles Dickens 9) David Copperfield - Charles Dickens 10) A Tale of two cities - Charles Dickens
"Little Things season 3 is like NCERT book for me. Each time that I watch it. I discover yet another layer of things which I missed in the previous watches. You are a genius. I hope you achieve your happy place too. " You are an amazing person, Dhruv.
I think we need a lookback to the basics? Why do we read or for that matter grow ourselves by any ways? The growing list if approached this way becomes a burden and hence a checklist to finish off and instead should be something you can hold on to for life. I had his shift in perspective lately. I hope you are having a good day. Cheers!
@@theamadeo2454 Having a todo list surely helps out in prioritizing, helping you choose things, but it can quickly spiral into being a rabbit hole for checking off things, being a burden as it grows and also we run the risk of loosing the essence itself of experiencing it fully. Reading a book, watching a movie, visiting a place,.. any such experience should actually be value adding for one's life as they personally found it interesting in the first place. Hence the list as counter-intuitive as it may sound can become cause of burnout and make you possibly pace through it in order to just catch up with rest of the things. I hope it made any sense and helped you in some way. Cheers!
I love how he's got so many titles wrong but he just keeps going because it truly doesn't matter. Vinod Kumar Shukla's "A window lived in the wall" has now just permanently become "There lived a window in the wall" for me, which I actually believe is an even lovelier title. Nice conversation, man. Agli baar translated works ki baatein bhi karna- a great way to learn about voices and stories you could and would otherwise never hear.
I think these were the most beautiful 39:19 minutes of my life...loved every second of it...gonna keep coming back to the video making sure that i don't miss any single book recommended by Dhruv...
I have watched the whole interview without skiping 1 second.its always been amazing to hear from you dhruv ,your thought, your choices of books, series all are just amazing.loads of love Dhruv sehgal❤❤❤❤

This is so amazing! Sometimes you stumble upon something so pure and fun and underrated, that it just puts you in a different zone altogether- definitely going to read some of these suggestions.
I loved this episode. The passion with which Dhruv talks about everything is so contagious. And I was chuffed that he loved "Em and the Big Hoom". I read this book about 2 months back and I was vacillating between fits of laughter and deep sorrow. There was one portion where Em(the mother), in a moment of clarity, tells her son how much she didn't want to have children. And then, once realization strikes that she's recounting to her son, she says the following:" "Of course, when it happens , you don't regret it and all that shit, okay?" She grinned, a salty grin. "You were my two dividends, yes? Don't you forget that." Then she sighed, took a deep breath, and said, "But what an investment. My Life". Man, what beautiful writing. Thanks for reminding me of this book again, Dhruv!
That book Tiffin is in line with the one of the Anime Recommendation on Chalchitra talks ... The anime is : flavour of youth , their a boy narrates his story how noodles changed from his childhood to this present time.
This was such a beautiful interview. Vaani you did a tremendous job. I really enjoyed it. Em and The Big Hoom is one of my favourite books too. As an aspiring writer I always look up to Dhruv and his work. Thank you for this Chalchitra Talks
@@abhinavkumar8377 Can't agree more!! I want a "Dhruv perspective" as in filters in instagram.. you turn the perspective ON and everything seems so poetic❤️
Amazing video, I loved how both of you touched the depths of each book you discussed today.. the reflection of your feelings while reading each one was just the best thing. I guess the way Vaani framed the questions also was remarkable! It is always wonderful watching Dhruv talking and reflecting at the same time...! Waiting for more from the duo. Thanks for all the recommendations. Only request, Vaani - could you also share the link to the podcast on Pencils with us?
Meri fatt gayi thi bro, when I read some of the goosebumps books. Some of them are extremely scary especially if you tend to imagine yourself to be in the situation when you read a book.
From start to finish this interview was sooo engaging and interesting. Thanks for the book recommendations (I've been trying to build a reading habit)'. Also big thanks to Chalchitra Talks, ur videos are really helping me out :)
I have gotten so many book recommendations from this interview. Thanks a lot for bringing Dhruv, this video has been an absolute treat to watch because of the passion with which he speaks about each and every book. Just amazing! Thanks!
thank you so much, for introducing durav as a writer as a reader ..... i was completely relating everything he is saying and it was really nice 40 mints ...... thanks
This was such a beautiful conversation. Its my first chal Chitra talk video and I'm definitely going to be a regular visitor on this channel from hereon.

Ommmmmmmg i was waiting for thisssss. Dhruv has great perspective towards many things.I was literally searching for his book recommendations from ages. Thank u fr dng this ❣
Absolutely loved this conversation. Dhruv the way you have portrayed the feeling of seeing your parents greeting old in Little things S3 is I think the best anyone has ever done. Completely in love with your art man❤️
In the era of reading spicy books and all bcos of weird suggestions....its really so nice to see people recommending books related to life, philosophy, mundane things, food, nature, bond between people, cinematography screen play and all...love love mam❤❤❤

For Hindi pathaks, reading list k kuch किताबे हिंदी (जो कि असल संस्करण भी है और इसलिए अनुवाद कि अशुद्धि की संभावना शून्य है) में उपलब्ध है जैसे कि - एक दीवार में एक खिड़की थी - जूठन
Illicit book was the best... Exactly my feelings, I stopped making sense of the book while reading and jus automatically started believing how all kinds of magical realism was possible..I finished the book in a sitting and I can't agree more with Dhruv, I just wished the novel never ended.. I pat myself with such pride to have found ur channel. More power to u guys...
Thank you, Dhruv and Chalachitra Talkies. It was the most entertaining 40 minutes. Glad to know we share similar weirdness and interests. And please share the link on podcast about pencils.

You are an amazing person, Dhruv.

Wow that's great...well eagerly waiting for season 4 of it
Are you a UPSC aspirant ?😊
💕💕❤️❤️🙏 Thanks a lot Dhruv for the mention .. great moment for me ..
Thanks
U
I hate to see my reading-list growing everyday! Life is too short to read all of these interesting books :(
I totally agree with you...... I want one more life to read them all😁🤗
I think we need a lookback to the basics? Why do we read or for that matter grow ourselves by any ways? The growing list if approached this way becomes a burden and hence a checklist to finish off and instead should be something you can hold on to for life. I had his shift in perspective lately.

Vinod kumar Shukla' book _Deewar mein ek khidhki rahti thi_ is published by _Vaani Prakashan_
Okay so why does every school library have too many goosebumps books!!?
brother there is never 'too many' goosebumps books XD
Lesson Learnt: The refined taste of books reflects in one's personality.
The ending of Catcher In The Rye just stumped me. I cried like a baby!🥺
IKR !!
What a beautiful conversation. Loved every bit of it!
Somewhere in the middle I got emotional...it was so overwhelming.
thank you.
I loved this episode. The passion with which Dhruv talks about everything is so contagious. And I was chuffed that he loved "Em and the Big Hoom". I read this book about 2 months back and I was vacillating between fits of laughter and deep sorrow.

And then, once realization strikes that she's recounting to her son, she says the following:"
"Of course, when it happens , you don't regret it and all that shit, okay?"
She grinned, a salty grin. "You were my two dividends, yes? Don't you forget that."
Then she sighed, took a deep breath, and said, "But what an investment. My Life".
Man, what beautiful writing. Thanks for reminding me of this book again, Dhruv!
Pure beauty.

Dhruv is dhruv in every dhruv interview.
Dhruv only knows Dhruv but even then Dhruv sometimes forgets Dhruv.
