Through the Veil

 I'm writing a new book called Through the Veil. Here is an excerpt

        Violet rolled her eyes and tapped Shri’s shoulder. ‘I will escort you to a boutique’ she informed, shooting the two younger children an unimpressed look. ‘If you two wish to accompany her as well,’ she said, raising her voice slightly ‘then it would do you well to cease your quarrel.’ Ali and Anne abruptly stopped shouting

Nithila Shankar Hi!


Hershey Hello *waves*


Nithila Shankar Potterhead wrote: "Aww such cute pfp but which music do u hear a lot ?"

Thanks, Aarana! I used Dork Maker to create it on dorkdiairies.com
As for music, I enjoy hip-hop, mainly Hip-Hop Tamizha (my favourite songs from that artist are Oliyum Oliyum and Kovai Gethu). I also like pop music like Top Tucker from Sarkar, Jithu Jilladi from Theri and Ghost Party from Annabelle Sethupathi. My favourite, though, is kuthu... I don't know what to call it in English.
My favorite songs are Jai Sulthan from Sulthan (don't watch the movie before bed😂), Rockaankuthu from Preman, Marana Mass from Petta and Kalippu from Premam. My other fav songs from genres I don't know are Saranga Dariya, Yaadon Ki Almaari from Helicopter Eela, Radha Kaise Na Jale from Lagaan, Odu Odu Aadu from Pushpa The Rise, Maangalyam from Banglore Naatkal, Appangal from Ustad Hotel and Kaathalikul Pennil Kaikal from some album. Can you tell that I love music?😜
Thanks for your question! Bye!


someoneforsure Aww such cute pfp but which music do u hear a lot ?

Thank you Mackenzie!!!!!! I love your name too! It sounds so exotic. My name actually means 'beautiful pearl' in Tamil. What does yours mean? I also am looking forward to interacting with you. BTW, are you from America?
