 Hello, dear readers! Krishna Prasanth Guttikonda here, writing to you from our vibrant Vijayawada, where the monsoon breezes are a welcome relief, and the discussions about all things digital are as lively as ever. Today, I want to talk about something incredibly close to my heart, something that inspired every word of my new novel, "Love in the Time of Algorithms."

And what happens to the magic, the messy, unpredi...
