Lounge Loves: Agatha Christie podcasts, a classic Casio watch and more

livemint.com:

—Vangmayi ParakalaA while ago, I embarked on an exercise I call “The Agatha Christie Project" in my head. I re-read a Christie novel, watch available adaptations, and listen to the related episode on All About Agatha, a podcast dedicated to discussing every novel and short story written by the Queen of Crime. As far as Christie podcasts go, this is the definitive one, going into the minutest details of every mystery and ranking each novel for elements like plot mechanics, plot credibility, characterisation, setting and tone and how stuck in its time it is.

It is a deep dive into Christie’s world, including how her personal life crept into her work; for a murder mystery nerd and fan of Dame Agatha’s prolific output, a treasure trove. —Shrabonti BagchiEvery watch enthusiast wants a Casio F-91W. The minimalistic, functional watch sits nicely on your wrist for every purpose—be it a casual dinner or a high-priority meeting.

Everyone from former US president Barack Obama to actor Ryan Reynolds (in the movie Free Guy) have worn it. Despite having two F-91Ws in my watch collection, I was on the lookout for another. I was lucky enough to find a rare model from the series—the F-91W-3—which has at least five colourways.

Unlike the original blue F-91W-1, the F-91W-3 is a mix of dark green, orange and white colour schemes. The green outer border blends well with the orange alarm chronograph sign and button arrows. The retro watch is still a looker.
