Rega is such an inspiring woman. I’ve learnt so many good things just by following her posts and stories on Instagram. Thank you so much for existing :) And yes, All About Love is a must read. Those of haven’t read the book yet, should definitely read it xD
I soooo agree with Rega when she says that we should allow ourselves to put aside a book if it is not serving us. In my teenage years I thought I was a non reader and dumb until I began finding the right books for me. There is no such thing as I hate reading, you are just reading the wrong books. Loved the episode, much needed content during this lockdown ❤️❤️
This was so wholesome. I'm a dummy when it comes to non-fiction books but some of the recommendations in this episode are going straight to my TBR. Thanks❤️
Lovely! I've never re-read a book :/ Probably because I feel why pick up something I've already read when there's so much more to read, you know..maybe I should try re-reading once!
Books on toast helped me to develop a reading habit. All these years, I did serious medical book studying. Now, finding some time to read some great books. Thank you you guys. 😄🙃
It's true about the short stories and poetry. There are so many ways of reading. I started reading Sandman comics during the lockdown, and it's beautiful and relaxing to say the least 🖤
Sooo great to have another books on toast video! Also, my year of rest and relaxation is soo good but I don't know how to explain why? I read it last month and I still can't articulate my thoughts about it but I end up thinking about it almost every day. That ought to be something right?!😅
And one last comment, if you both are reading this, and choose to reply, or any other person reading and knows what I am talking about and chooses to reply. I absolutely love books that talk about feelings of feelings of feelings, like Rega said. People like Jodi Picoult and Joan Didion, so if you could recommend more books along these lines, I would be blessed (and would bless you too).
As a book reader I seldom know how to pronounce the author or character names. Specially, during Harry Potter times I have wished JK Rowling was there to tell me how to pronounce the names properly.
if i could bring back one dead author it would be anne frank. It makes you feel grateful and poignant at the same time. just finished reading a few days back and am still not able to get out of it.
Growing older I realise the handicap of reading only Ambedkar. With maturity I gave some space to Indian metaphysics (S Radhakrishnan, teachers day waala bandha((and not new age crap)).. and saved myself from being an arrogant political opinion personality. If this too isn't complemented with hard travel and observation (of the people and my own biases), things are grossly incomplete. Politics mein padhneka nai. Politicians ,chaahe jitna accha bolta ho, sunne Ka nai.. Chup rehne Ka, apna kaam masst karneka, anyaay ho toh bolne Ka, pyaar se.. sune nai, aur peeche politician ho, to kat lene Ka, proper intezaar karne Ka, aur waqt aate hi, vaar karne ka (pyaar se). Gussa khud ko jalaata hai..
I have often wondered how Britishers were able to rule the subcontinent: a region full of culture, arts, literature and warriors. Why we did not resist? How could they rules us for centuries !!! As I am growing older, and as I come across opinions of people like you, I have come to a conclusion that Britishers were able to rule us for so long beacuse, for the first hundred and fifty years , we must have not realized we were being wronged. We had been so used to doing the same to our people. I understand that you don't want to be "angry all the time". Nobody does. But why do you thing that reading Ambedkar makes you an angry person? Is it coz reading Ambedkar made you sit down and take notice of the injustice happening around you. I think you are angry coz you cannot do anything about it. But instead of blaming the oppressors, you blame the book that helped you find this truth that can transform a nation and the whole humanity. If I have not completely misunderstood your comment, by dissing the writings of Ambedkar, it looks like you are spreading ignorance amongst the masses- which is a very dangerous thing in my opinion. Not only are you batting for ignorance , you also want to distract yourself and others from the truth. So you advise people to read metaphysics, which is actually pesudoscience.
I am not dissing you. In fact, I totally understand where you are coming from. I can relate to you. My point is why diss Ambedkar coz his writings make you angry. I think we get angry after reading his books coz we aren't really able to do anything about the systemic oppression. We don't need to. I think it is enough that we know the truth. It will become part of our subconscious and we will live a careful life. If it is in our subconcious, at some stage of our lives , we may do something that has an impact. Do you think Ambedkar, who wrote the Constitution of India, wasn't aware that anger eats you from inside out. He must have known it. The best of us get angry coz it would be abnormal to not feel anger upon learning such harsh truths. But we can learn to deal with it . The entire right wing's milieu is hate and anger. They have been in power for six years now, yet they are always angry. If they are not angry at Pakistan or China, they are angry at Indians who don't think like them. They are always angry. They believe in the power of anger. They capitalize hate . They capitalize anger. I personally think angry people have never and can never build a nation. Have a good day. 😌
@@dobby3159 Just because i mention Indian metaphysics and Radhakrishnan, you write me an essay on the right wing ? Kya yaar? 😄😄 I never "dissed" anybody. lol. But have you looked into the upanishads or the metaphysics of the other civilizations like you did Ambedkar? If you havent, your knowledge is only incomplete.. is all that i point. Im not angry at anyone.lol.. Im not of the right nor do i lean left (the egalitarian and peaceful failed as badly as the "angry" right wing, undeniably). Nor am i an enlightened centrist. I just do my job, try and do it well, that's all. Ive travelled enough, observed enough to not trust the popular opinion nor the politician, no matter how revolutionary or correct she might sound. i have zero opinions and beliefs and consider myself incredibly dumb and stare at doremon for all i care.. Ba
@@dobby3159 lol. No book changed the world. The goddamn Bible which was about peace failed. The Manifesto was a disaster. The American Constitution has ruined the Indian farm land. They look all plum, but the hand that wields it, will ALWAYS be one of lust for power. Leaders are of rarest of the rare. And you think a dead Ambedkar from books can lead civilisation into light?😂 Go out, get hurt, try helping, then see, my friend.. easy to say all what you said. Read Radhakrishnan. Toodles.
enjoying good art and literature are the pursuit of the upper class elites,I am wondering if a poor person developed that taste, is he becoming pretentious?
She is one of my favourite people.
Ours too!
I can listen to her talk for hours. Her recommendations becomes my instant TBR
🙌🏻
Which one are you picking up first?
That's what she said
Rega's eloquence and fine knowledge on literature is brilliant combo. I have already added some of the books to my TBR.
Rega is such an inspiring woman. I’ve learnt so many good things just by following her posts and stories on Instagram. Thank you so much for existing :)

COME UP WITH A BOOK REGA JHAAAAAAA
She's one of my favourite people in the world 🥺
I love this format and I'm back to watching BoT.
Woohoo!
Lovely! I've never re-read a book :/
Probably because I feel why pick up something I've already read when there's so much more to read, you know..maybe I should try re-reading once!
Only if you want to!
I feel you!!!
Same!

You're welcome 😊😘
It's true about the short stories and poetry. There are so many ways of reading. I started reading Sandman comics during the lockdown, and it's beautiful and relaxing to say the least 🖤
Sandman is one of my favourites. A recommendation if you are into/want to dabble in cyberpunk is: Transmetropolitan!
Had been waiting for Rega to come here for ages now! So glad finally she is here and left us with an interesting episode to watch. ❤
I love Rega Jha and I can listen to her for hours and hours. Also, what a wonderful channel this is!
🤗🤗
OMG Michael Moscowitz is totally my literary crush too!
Each of these books were so simply and sweetly discussed, each of them seem special and now are on my TBR list :))
I love Rega, thanks for bringing her in. I wouldn't mind it if you brought her in again. and again. and again.
This video made me so so happy! I was literally giggling throughout the episode. Lots of love! ❤
Great!!!. I don't need Rega Jha to make an Instagram highlight for a while now.
Hehehehehe
Halfway through this video and my mood has improved 100% love me some Rega Jha
Such a refreshing episode !!
Hi guys! I'm loving this format! Rega was eloquent too!
Somebody finally recommended Susan Sontag and Joan Didion on BoT. Yayy!
Sooo great to have another books on toast video! Also, my year of rest and relaxation is soo good but I don't know how to explain why? I read it last month and I still can't articulate my thoughts about it but I end up thinking about it almost every day. That ought to be something right?!😅
Hahaha okay I think it's time for us to pick it up
@@BooksonToast Yess! Would love to hear your thoughts on it!😁
Oh my god..u hav a great smile rega Jha...loved ur episode...am really unfortunate for not knowing u
Watching Rega talk is my favourite thing in the world.
Loved loved loved this episode 💜💜💜
I absolutely loved this video and I think I could listen Rega talk for hours :)
Oh also, I wouldn't mind getting Kanans suggestions during the lockdown either. So, if you can do an episode with him, that would be incredible..
And one last comment, if you both are reading this, and choose to reply, or any other person reading and knows what I am talking about and chooses to reply.

Michael Moscovitz is love ❤️
Can you have a part 2 session with rega?
It was great ...loved the video ❤
That's what she said
this concept is great !
Rega is amazing .
She is!
As a book reader I seldom know how to pronounce the author or character names. Specially, during Harry Potter times I have wished JK Rowling was there to tell me how to pronounce the names properly.
Pls do more of such videos frequently.Miss them very much because i always miss ur insta live 😭 so i need youtube videos pls pls pls 😅
She's just AMAZING!!!!
if i could bring back one dead author it would be anne frank. It makes you feel grateful and poignant at the same time. just finished reading a few days back and am still not able to get out of it.
Ah damn now we're a little teary eyed
Where is Sharon☹️
Finally Rega Jha !!!
even though i read about 15 books this lock down, i don't remember the plot or content of a single book. Is it normal or am i losing my brain cells?
No.. you lose brains cells when first line of the book hit you like a bullet.
Finalllllyyyyyyyyyyyy
