Life of a bookworm

FINAL GOODBYE TO SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT This is not a bookish post as you can see from the title. I know that the person for whom I am writing this post will never be able to read it, but I am doing it so  that I can release my pent-up emotions which have been nagging me since 14th June 2020.  I don't think that I need to introduce Sushant Singh Rajput as the whole world knows about him right now!
