If It's Not Unconditional, It's Not Love, BM Day 2
Image Link
Love is a strong emotion but it's vulnerable as well. Love can get affected/tainted easily by other strong emotions like jealousy, anger, obsession.
Love needs some space to breathe, and when then space gets smothered, the essence of love starts dying, slowly. Beauty of love lies in respecting that space and helping each other grow.
It is natural to have a difference of opinion, even if you are in love. It is okay to get upset with each other. You should not hesitate to voice your own...

Prejudice - Blog Marathon Day 1
So, I am writing my first post for Blogchatter Blog Marathon. It's called Daily Chatter. And, it's day one.
Will start this post with a thoughtful quotation.
"I am resigning from my job," one of my close friends said. She worked as a lecturer in a college.
"Why?" was my instant response as she enjoyed her work immensely. Preparing for her classes, interacting with students and all that.
"Moving to a different city."
"Oh, that's okay," I said, not worrying a bit. "You can join some other college in...

Book Review: My Last Love Story by Falguni Kothari
[image error]
I chose this book for two reasons. First, the genre. It is a love story, and romance is my favourite genre. Second, the book has been compared to Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. (This is one book that I immensely liked and is one of my best reads of 2015 .)
My Last Love Story by Falguni Kothari tells the story of Simeen Desai, her husband Nirvaan and their best buddy Zayaan.
Simeen and Nirvaan love each other, but Nirvaan is dying. He wants something that Simeen doesn’t. A baby! He wants Zayaan to...

Let Things Go
Image Link
Some emotions are so strong that we get stuck, unable to move on. But think, how would you greet a new morning if you are too fond of last night? How would you travel if you are terribly homesick? Bad examples, maybe, but you got it, right?
Memories are like stars or moon. They are always there, sometimes flashing, sometimes quiescent. It’s not a good idea to make them a small sphere where you get trapped. Let go of it, and move on. It doesn’t mean that you have completely deta...

Thank you, my writer friends!
These days, I am always thinking about my first book "We Will Meet Again"
It's been a long journey, and tough one (for me). But, I never stopped chasing my dream.
I thought writing was tough; but, I realised that publishing my was tougher. But, I don't mind this as I have learned a lot. And, learning is wonderful, isn't it?
I have finally submitted my manuscript (and it goes for typesetting). Editing is like re-writing, and I have realised that basically a writer writes his/her book several time...

We Will Meet Again: Back Cover Blurb and a Set of Haiku
This is the cover of my first novel (to be released on 1st July, 2016). Read the blurb, and tell me if this set of haiku complements the blurb of my debut book.
Back Cover of We Will Meet Again says
Paridhi Mathur, dusky, beautiful, and single, is doing everything to keep her academic records high and her love life nil, but lady luck keeps frowning at her.When she meets Abhigyan Ambastha, rich - devastatingly handsome, intense and sometimes curt, her resolve wavers. Despite regular warnings fro...

Cover of my debut novel: We Will Meet Again
Dreams & desires; ego & doubts, and a stupid bet.
A bitter-sweet tale of love and loss. Of believing in love.
A tale embellished with various shades of emotions, and flavours of humour and repartee.
Will you join me in this joyous journey?
Sharing the cover of my first book (Ah, my first book! Such a long journey it was! As a writer, I grew with this book. As I proceeded with my dream, so many things/emotions were left behind. And, I know I have a long way to go!)
I hope you like the cover...

Book Review: Before We Visit The Goddess by Chitra Divakaruni
The book opens with this thoughtful quotation from Manusmriti:
Yatra naaryasto poojyantay, ramantay tatra devata (Where women are honored, there the gods are pleased.)
Mythology came as a pleasant surprise while I was experimenting with different genres. It was wonderful to read The Palace Of Illusions by Chitra Divakaruni (My review) . So, when I got a chance to read & review her latest release Before WeVisit The Goddess , there was no second thought, just an excitement to read her new book...
