I live here happily with my husband and toddler son. Most days, you'll find me drinking tea and writing novels in a little silver trailer in my driveway.

“Power is a tricky thing, mija. It can lift you up high on its wings and up into the sky where you feel invincible. But sometimes you forget the bigger thing that makes you fly. Without God, without love, you fall. You stop being grateful and humble, and you fall." pg. 230”

Kunj HELLO! :)
i'd just like to recommend "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy (Winner of the Booker Prize). I hope you cherish it as much as I did.
ABSOLUTELY MIND-BOGGLING.
