Twinkle also revealed that she forgot her glasses and had to "try to decipher the blurry sentences". "Mr. K catches me reading a book I found in our hotel room instead of going to the gym. Since I forgot my glasses, I hold it at arm’s length and pretend it counts as a bicep curl while I try to decipher the blurry sentences. My first taste of Anita Desai and it’s captivating. What unexpected gem have you chanced upon in a hotel room?" she wrote.
