Masked in Pretence

If she is not herself
Then I wonder who she is.
If only she knew she was a wonder
She would have never gone amiss.

She stood in front of a mirror
She didn't like what she saw.
Makeup, diets, surgeries, pills
Nothing could change the flaw.

Every morning, it was a routine
She transformed to someone she didn't know.
Stripped bare of her mask at night,
She became her biggest foe.

She had smiling lips and sad eyes
They were the windows to her soul.
She ensured her mask never slipped,
It was a show for the world.

Her mask always in place, head held high
Out into the world she went,
To join the crowd of millions
All playing pretend.

Pain

What nobody told us  it never gets better it only gets older sometimes duller.  It stays with you like that ache that you are used to one that doesn't hurt anymore just exists. One fine day you woke up  not the same, an ache where there was none now a part of you follows you where you go grows as you grow older.

Reader

As the title says. I am a reader. I average  on mostly 1 book a day, sometimes even more. It's a hobby or you  can even call it an obsession. I need to read, I have to. When I have nothing else to do, guess what I do? Obviously read. It is like I crave stories, I crave an escape. I want to know, I want to feel, be something I never will. In reading I thrive. In books I live. These words are like food for my soul. And most importantly i read everything. Anything i can get my hands on. I love fiction- Jeffrey Archer being my favourite, John Grisham not too far behind and Suzanne Collins is always there. But recently I have been reading a lot of Romance and seems like I have fallen in love. With  the genre, not literally. So that being said, I feel it's  only fitting that I atleast review the books I have read and share my views with others. Happy reading everyone. Xoxo

Those Pricey Thakur Girls - Anuja Chauhan

My only problem with the book is... WHY didn't I read it before! This is one incredible book that literally makes you laugh out loud. It shows a very relatable and realistic image of an Indian household, though having five sisters, alphabetically named, isn't all that common. It is set in a contemporary age which still applies to the Indian society. The hyper, socially conscious mother, with the laid back father, their bickering, tension regarding the marriage of five daughters, arguments related to property, claiming their hissa or part, younger sisters living in the shadow of their elder nemesis. The lives of the sisters and their characters are as different as their names. The eldest and prettiest married rich but is dissatisfied being unable to conceive, second one wasn't that lucky in the money department but has twins and sued her own father for her hissa, third ran away a day before her marriage and has been disowned by the family, fourth is her father's fav...
