What to do?

Here I am, lying on my bed, contemplating my life. Or what my life is about to become. I lay lost in my thoughts, wondering what is to become of me. I wonder who I am and who I am going to be. Will I change or stay the same? That was deep, right? Yeah, that happens to me sometimes. I get introspective. But on a serious note, my life is about to get very buzy. I am starting my internship this Monday, 9-6, yeah nine hours. I am a little freaked out. I have never worked before you see. Now I have to manage an internship along with my coaching classes for competitive exams, study for the said exams, so here I am planning out the next few months of my life. What all will I do? How will I manage it? Atlast, can I make it? I believe I can. It is hard, but it isn't impossible. It's not like it hasn't been done before. So many before me have done it, then why should I be any different? Why should I have it easy? I don't get to crib about this. I chose it, and now I get to li

Sexy in Stilettos - Nana Malone

The stakes are as high as her stilettos. I read this author yesterday for the first time and I am already in love with her. She is quirky, witty and intelligent. One of the few authors who has some imagination left. Her stories are not old-school, boring types. They match our current outlook and mindset. This is a story of Jaya and Alec. They have a few disagreements, keep a few secrets, fight a little, normal stuff. What is different is the heroine. She is a modern woman, not a damsel -in - distress. She is in distress, but she doesn't need anyone to save her. She has a plan and she is going to make it big. She works hard, is career oriented and even when her own family kicks her out, she fights to get back on her feet. She doubts herself and is nervous but that is normal. I couldn't help falling in love with her. She is an inspiration. She is a strong woman and they too are allowed days of self wallowing with a tub of cookies&cream. The thing with relationships is not

Double Dare - Rhonda Nelson

This book is simply amazing. It is funny, quirky, sweet and makes you literally laugh-out-loud! Sam and Lou, she stood up her fiance at the altar and is running away, he owns an adventure/thrill seeking business and away they go. She is running away from an overbearing father and he is chasing his dreams, or so he thought. Together with their sizzling chemistry, they can't help falling in love. But like all headstrong people feeling something and assuming something, both go their separate ways after the adventure of their lives. Will they end up together? You will have to read to find out. I rate this book a 8/10, only because it really made me laugh. It was unexpected and a little crazy but I felt like going on an adventure. Moreover I just love the cover of the book. They say "don't judge a book by its cover" but how could you not? You see everything at its face value. I admit that there are fantastic works inside dull covers, but you can't undermine the value

Foodies, let's unite against the World!

Foodie. Food. Foodgasm. I love food. I honest to god love it! Sometimes I dream about food. Okay, I am always dreaming about food. I just close my eyes and try to taste what I want to eat, and voila! I have my answer. Now don't take my love for food as a love for cooking. I can't cook to save my life. As a person who burns her toast while standing right in front of it, I know what I am talking about. I don't have a culinary bone in my body. But that's okay, takeouts are a lifesaver and so is peanut butter. Back to my love for food. I don't understand people who don't like to eat. Dieting and all, on grass and raw veggies, like how do they survive. My favourite passtime is eating. And these so-called healthy people on raw diets shooting glares at my not-so-fit figure for indulging. Atleast it's not drugs. Just food, chill. I sometimes have nightmares that I may not be able to sample some of the best dishes ever made. Man vs Food is like my favourite show an

They meet at a cafe where Blake elbows her, giving her a nose bleed and then has the audacity to check out another woman while she's bleeding.

But Blake has his own issues, his best friend is dead and Blake has to support his crumbling family, while cleaning up his personal mess, changing his habits and getting his act together.

I like the story, its different without being unrealistic. They solve their issues in a natural and human wa

It Started With A Kiss - Lindy Dale

I love this book. It's so nice. A story of Georgie and Nate who were childhood best friends and how they fall in love after being apart. Together since forever. Elementary school then middle and high school, they went through all the drama by each other's side, fighting their attraction for as long as they could and finally succumbing to it. They part ways before college, and twelve years hence fate works to bring them back together. I really like this book. I love the story, the way it has been written, the flow, the characters. It is no surprise that Lindy Dale is a best - selling author, she is that good. My only problem with the book is that it's a novella. It finished sooner than it should have. I wanted to go on reading. I rate it a 7/10 which let me tell you, is pretty awesome. Till then Keep reading Xoxo

Ponderings #1

There are people in this world who try to bring you down and you can't cut any or all ties with them. What do you do then? Right now I am going off topic because, just because. I have started treating my blog as my personal diary it seems. I don't know if anyone reads it, I don't know whether my voice is heard, that is not the point. The point is I am speaking. And that is enough for me. It has to be. Spending so much time worrying about what people might think kills me little by little from inside. I can't completely stop caring, some part of me will always care. It's human nature. I want to please everyone and want them to like me. But that's impossible . Someone will always hate me, or be jealous or try to bring me down. It is like sliding up a slope, go a little higher and slide back down. Realisation comes, sooner rather than later. My aim in life isn't to please anyone but me and that is what's going to keep me happy. Isn't that the greatest a

Find Her, Love Her - Z.L. Arkadie

Love in USA #1 : A Martha's Vineyard Love Story Belmont (Jack) and Daisy fall in love and then they have sex. Lots and lots of sex. The book was way too horny for me. There were a few cheesy lines here and there, which I love but other than that, nothing. And it is very cliché. Some girl tries to kiss Jack and that's the exact moment Daisy enters who is already pissed at him and this gives her the perfect excuse to dump his sorry ass and run away without giving him a chance to explain. See, this is what I call lousy writing. You can't think of any new drama, then use the traditional boring scenarios that we very well know. Minus points for that. But honestly after past 2-3 encounters with absolutely disgusting reads, I was pretty happy with this one. But that was just my tortured soul reaching out. When I thought about it clearly, it really wasn't all that good . What I liked was knowing about Martha's Vineyard, the description of the surroundings and the facts ab
