Sita: Warrior of Mithila (Ram Chandra #2)- Book Review

Amish Tripathi made me his devout follower with the Shiva Trilogy. By the time I was finished with The Immortals of Meluha, I had decided that I will ready anything this guy writes in future. I loved reading Scion of Ikshvaku, but I must agree that it deviated very little from the original epic. Of course, he glorified Ram to great heights and it worked for me. Sita: Warrior of Mithila is the sequel to what I had thought would be a trilogy, but when you read the book, you will find out that t...

Reflections of A to Z Challenge 2017

It might be just me, but the reflections post is the toughest thing about A to Z Challenge. I guess I have been bad at summarizing things. I can discuss with you endlessly about this challenge and how I accomplished it or what were the setbacks, but summarizing it into one post is nerve-wrecking. Anyhow, I will try my best and this post will be completely informal with a lot of self-praises (I deserve it, right?).

A to Z Challenge 2017 is not my first. I did it a few years back, but I was not...

Zapped In

“Fuck! This is one hell of a creepy book,” Carol said.

“I am literally spooked right now. This place is not helping much. We have been doing this for years and this is the first time, I am actually feeling scared,” Faith added.

“I don’t understand one thing. How can such a book be lying here. Are we the first to explore these catacombs? It does not make sense,” Shirley said.

The three of them were explorers. This was their 13th adventure; an unexplored catacomb in Paris. It was not unexplored...

Yours Forever

Present Day

It was a tiring day for Paige. Her new boss had been trying to make her life miserable with the endless deadlines. She would have been happy to take up all the work if it was thrown at her on authentic grounds. However, that was not the case. It had all begun when he had casually invited her for a dinner and she had refused. With a tall frame and a voluptuous figure, it was not a different thing for her. Even though she hated such attention, she had gradually gotten around to acce...

X-Mas

Tyler wanted to go in the snow, but he was stuck at his home. It was an X-mas Night after all! His mother had spent the last night wrapping gifts for Amber, his six years old sister. Of course, he did not want gifts over some stupid Santa myth. At ten years of an age, he was grown up to understand how the whole concept of Santa was fake. Every year, parents would just try to be their sweetest self, pack some gifts for their children and tell them the fairy tales.

He had discovered the myth hi...

Witch

“I haven’t seen such a pale face ever in my life,” Ashley whispered.

This wasn’t the first time someone had said those words for Scarlett. She was literally the most beautiful girl in her class and probably, the most beautiful in the entire college. Girls had become envious from ever since she had stepped into the college. Every guy wanted to talk with her and that attention had become troublesome for the other girls.

With a tall frame of six feet, dazzling blonde hair falling below the shoul...

Voodoo

“Camera check!” Felishia says, pulling her hair back and looking at the primary camera.

“Perfect!” exclaims David.

“You are audible in your ugly voice,” remarks Matt.

“Fuck you Matty,” Felishia says, flashing her middle finger towards him.

“In 3 guys,” Aairah says, positioning her camera. “3, 2, 1…. Let’s Roll!”

‘Myth Breakers’ as they denoted themselves, had taken up the responsibility of revealing the truth behind the popular cults around the world. The four of them had formed a group as a...

Unworthy

The flickering lights inside the club were now blurred for her. She was trying hard to move her feet along with the thumping bass of the electronic music the DJ was playing. It all seemed same to her. Even though the DJ was changing the track, she could never understand how the tracks were different from each other. It was the same deep bass, the loud synths and the trashy vocals. “What happened to the good old rock music?” she had often mused. However, this was the life of a normal teenager...
