This Pregnancy, Say No To Pregnancy Books!

No, I am not pregnant. That’s just the post title. Please continue reading. When I was on my blogging break, people were dying due to all the suspense I built around its reason (ok, they were mildly curious). I don’t know the reasoning behind this, but one of my blogger friends, Shailaja, guessed I “had some good news.” […]

A Conversation With Joy Jennings, Author of “I am Not Your Baby”

Joy Jennings is the author of “I am Not Your Baby.” The book deals with some highly sensitive subjects, such as rape, assault, and abuse.

We Don’t See Each Other Anymore

Relationship Status: It’s Complicated, With Onions

I dislike vegetables and most fruits. I am using “dislike” here politely, so as to not hurt the sentiments of any fruits or vegetables that may end up reading this post – it’s so easy to offend anyone and everyone nowadays. If it helps, I like potato and okra, but that’s about it. Back in the hostel, […]

The Book Series For Which I Took A Break… From Everything

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out during my final semester of engineering. Kinda weirdly fitting, you might say. But the truth is, I was not a Potterhead then.

Fundraising for Rural PreSchool – #FundAhamBhumika

Take Back The Memory, by Augustine Sam

Take Back The Memory, by Augustine Sam was a book I was supposed to review a long time ago, but my laptop crashed, and if you’ve been following my other blog, you know I lost all my files, my WIPs (sob!) and a load of other stuff when…

The Price Of A Stolen Plot

Oh! How I loved her! Her tinkling laughter, her jet black hair that fell in waves till her waist, and swept lightly against my chest as she slept, her dark eyebrows that stood in such contrast to her skin, her mind – oh, her deadly mind, camouflaged so completely by that cherubic face!  What wouldn’t […]

Micro-Fiction – 12

We knew he’d return someday. One night, I heard my mother screaming and I knew he was back. It was time for him to claim another victim. —————————————————————————————– Maybe this isn’t our time and maybe love isn’t always enough. Perhaps when the time is right, it will be, and I hope we meet again… —————————————————————————————– […]
