Let me start by wishing everyone a very happy Diwali! Pretty much most families in India that celebrate Diwali must be enjoying sweets like these.

I am back with edition — 3 of the Coffee Times weekly roundup that goes live every Thursday featuring some great reads from our own publication and across Medium.

As an editor here, it was mind-boggling to see the rate at which our writers submitted to the publication and I found myself wondering: How am I going to choose a few from these? Picking a select few from so many great stories has to be the toughest job ever!

Let me hasten to add that I believe every story deserves to be featured here. and I will do my best to make sure that everyone gets a chance to be listed in our roundups.
