Although Hindi is my first language, I don't have any knowledge of the literature (beyond what I had read as a part of school curriculum). Would love to hear about Hindi books that you have enjoyed. Open to both prose and poetry.

I realized this today when the courier deliveryman turned up at the door and demanded an OTP. The mobile, a LG v30, hadn't received any messages in the past few days. After some more experimentation, I discovered that it can't even send messages. I am quite certain it is a software problem...

I sometimes have to use my mobile's hotspot functionality when the landline is down. Speed is so-so. I was wondering if a dedicated device (like Huawei E5576) would would improve things. I am using a jio sim.
