  This month witnessed an increase in travel time to and fro office; this helped me read a bit more. Work load also increased as I was engaged in 3 projects at a time so reading score didn't exactly go through the roof.

Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Naval Treaty by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ...

I am sure the  head gear / head wear / cap above needs no introduction. It is the all-famous Gandhi Topi or the Gandian Cap or any other version of the cap name with the Gandhi name attached it.
