 My favorite read 

Reading has always been a source of comfort and escape from reality for me, sometimes a light-hearted book is all it takes to ease my mind and put my worries to rest. Though I've found a friend in slice of life genre, I've not limited my taste to just that; I've had my fair share of horror, thrillers and murder mysteries. A book that has really left its imprint on my soul is "How to kill a mockingbird" by Harper Lee. I would say its a must read as it portrays the injustice and destruction of innocence of minorities by white supremacy. Reading this book opened a whole new world for me, it gave me my first glimpse into the real world of racial discrimination and social injustice. A kind of world I wouldn't like to be a part of, one in which people of people of colour such as me are treated differently solely because of racial status.  

The story revolves around a little girl,Scout and her brother, Jem whose father, Atticus is an attorney defending an African victim of false allegations, This book shows how atticus and his children get ridiculed and shunned by society for defending a black person, the hardships the family and the victim goes through because of racial prejudice and how atticus, regardless of the backlash teach his kids to be kind-hearted and just. To a kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence, as a mockingbird causes no harm to anyone, all it does is sing.
