It was August of 2018. I was in Nainital, sitting in a cafe by the lakeside, sipping on an espresso, making new friends, and reading Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. Whenever you are reading a book, you subconsciously try to emulate the writer’s lifestyle. This also happens in other forms of entertainment like movies and plays, but in books, it is more intimate because there is only one person to connect with - the writer. You won’t notice your connection at first but during the course of your reading, you do things that you otherwise would not do. I had never had an espresso before, nor had I sat in a cafe to read a book and ponder over life. But here I was doing exactly what Ernest Hemingway did during his time in Paris. Espressos, reading, and writing.
