A New Beginning - 2015

Another year gone by! Another leaf turned over.....this one was supposed to be special owing to the fact that it was the first year of marriage... novel and revitalizing and a phase of self- discovery. I have had a very blissful year when you come to think of it. No hassles with the already known husband (then boyfriend) ...... of course a few fights, arguments and disagreements did pop out here and there...but as they say its being going well :). You rather get addicted to the company and safe haven of your partner.In my case, I got totally dependent on him seeking him for every problem, waiting to turn over his magic wand and fix all the troubles away and criticize and nag him if he behaved any bit strand of human by failing least.  I lost my independence, control over myself in return of life long beautiful companionship. The odds are high. I'm unable to decide which one is better though my heart wishes for both. I believe its possible as well. I'm just struggling with the...

Book Review : God is a Gamer

Image
It happens once in a while when you come across a book which is simply written, adequately edited and offers pure pleasure of a new story line! When I received the book from Blog Adda, the first page of the book signed by the author brought a smile to my face with  a"Stay Awesome" personalized by a smiley ! I was genuinely pleased with the author's sweet gesture. Thank you Mr. Ravi Subramanian. :) The book is a refreshing story in 'Mystery/Thriller" genre. The most striking feature of the novel is the style of writing. It is very crisp and straight forward with basic English vocabulary usage. The author has spared the reader from complicated long paragraphs with excruciating details of each characters and sometimes irrelevant information of the surroundings, history, banal things in and around . The author has made sure that the reader gets a story and that's what it is in the book with no exceptions ! I would suggest this one to all the new and aspiri...

Quirky Ways of Mumbai

Idea has been playing in my mind for quite a while... 1. I walk past by neatly lined up people of different ages and professions at sweaty and small BEST bus stops. The youngest member of the Bus hopping clan is at the top of the line if he is the first passenger and eager to depart to his destination.The oldest member might be the last one to be trodden in the line if he is too late.  I arrive at the local stations with bustling energies of people from all walks of life. Before the train comes to a screeching halt, humans are divided into 2 sects. The one waiting to get out and the ones trying to get in ! And this battle of life every local has the fortune to witness. Usually the to be departed crowd outperform the to be arrived human race.  People push, swear, tear clothes and shout almost patriotic slogans to encourage their side of people who are in the front! Such discord can exists only in Mumbai in perfect harmony. 2. I stroll on the pathways of shopping alleys...

Book Review -Ramayana - The Game of Life: Rise of the Sun Prince!

Image
Its after long I'm reviewing a book ...... hectic work schedules, change in lifestyle after wedding and city and having not read a book in a WHILE might be one of the main reasons :D. Today I read new novel "Rise of the Sun Prince" by Shubha Vilas. A personal note from the author on the front page of the book is so welcoming ! This book is refreshing and revisited version of our Hindu mythological epic Ramayana.  As an Indian, I've read Ramayana several times since childhood and thanks to our television channels Ramayana has been aired so many times in so many different modernized versions that I know the stories well. Also, our grandmothers and mothers have never failed to bring out and highlight some or the other story from there as per the situation or as childhood bedtime stories ! What is different in this book then? This book extensively covers minute teaching and moral background of every emotion or action or event following every emotion/action/event....

Love vs You know what !

One of the unusual days when my mind was a little uncluttered…I was wondering about some most lamest discussions of all times, one which has been on the top list of the girls while filtering out from the prospective bf list. I was thrilled to pour in some of my own for the cause. Love You know what ! 1. You can feel butterflies in your stomach when you are about to meet Not butterflies but yes some sort of chemicals running down from your brain to the exclusive parts of your body which would give you an equal amount of you know what 1. You can whisper sweet nothings and go back to sleep hugging a teddy bear These type would be the most sound sleepers as they have a lot to dream about 2. Its enjoyable planning surprises and buying gifts for him/her  Yeah ! too much brain work to plan  surprises when u can be alone 3. You can smile sheepishly , loose yourself in thoughts and even chuc...
