Today

Today marks a very important day in my life. Today I make it official.
I have tried many times in the past and failed. I don't want to anymore. I want to start it and go through with it.
I write on my blog, I am an avid reader. I love books. I live for books. A musician makes music, a painter paints life and a writer writes it to existence. He creates life and stories, he creates dreams, evokes thoughts, he is truly marvelous. I wish to be him. So today, I pledge to become him. My only wish remains that I am good enough and I go through with it. It has always been my dream. I planned on letting life push me around and then take it up as a retirement plan, but how far do you run from yourself? How long? What if this is what I was meant for? My calling?
I want to make it public, more for myself, so I finish what I started. People knowing it would just ensure that I don't stop. It would get embarrassing. Time to get this public and society fear to good use.

Anyways...
I re-read Sophie Kinsella's "Can you Keep a Secret", this woman makes me literally Laugh-out-Loud. Her sense of timing and humour is incredible. Moreover, I finished 2 seasons of Newsroom in 3 days. Yes, it is that awesome. For those of you who haven't watched it, what's stopping you? Now, I want to work in the news industry! Grey's Anatomy makes me want to be a doctor(neuro-surgeon to be precise), Castle - a detective, Suits - a lawyer and now News! Aaron Sorkin, one guy who knows what he is doing. Need I even mention Will McAvoy. He is incredible. Face of ACN? Make him the face of everything. This show makes me want to catch the news every night at 9. It is only a feeling, not that I actually will. Come on! I do have new-found respect for these people. What goes behind the scenes, so many people working, so much work and effort for just one hour of prime time. These shows make all these professions so alluring. Here I should mention Sloane Sabbeth, she plays the role of an economics expert, extremely smart and socially-challenged, so ofcourse I love her. This show and it's characters are so sarcastic, you can't help loving them. HBO, thank you!
I am on a Newsroom high. Love it. Rooting for Will for the Emmy.

I am going to start my book now.

Bub-bye peeps

I still very much love me.

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.

Book Review: Leah On The Offbeat

You know it is a good book when it ends up schooling you. I am too old to read high school drama anymore but seeing people rave about Simon vs The Homosapiens Agenda and Leah On The Offbeat, I finally gave LOTO a try. And boy am I glad. Initially sceptical, because the writing style is aimed at teenagers, the first few chapters were a bit difficult to get through. I found the language exceedingly plain, it was overall too kiddish.  It was when the characters developed in the next few chapters, that I was hooked. I have yet to read such great character development in a high school book.  Let's start off with Leah. She is your average protagonist -  angry at the world, a broken family, overthinking things, overweight, smart, the only difference, she isn't lonely. She has a lot of friends. Oh and the fact that she is bi, secretly. As we delve further into the book, her layers peel off. She is in love with a girl who is dating her best friend who happens to...

Book Review | Baaz by Anuja Chauhan

"Why do they call you Baaz?  It means falcon, he replies solemnly. Or bird of prey. Because I swoop down on the enemy planes just like a Baaz would. Then he grins. The grey eyes sparkle. It s also short for bastard." There is a reason why every Indian reader is in love with Anuja Chauhan, she makes reading fun! A quirky, sweet love story, set in the 1971 war which explores the two sides of patriotism - the soldier falls for a martyr's sister. A slow, steady build-up with Chauhan's usual desi charm and hilarious side characters that make Baaz a light-hearted read set in an otherwise serious backdrop. I am a huge fan and to quote Mint "The only Indian writer of commercial fiction really worth buying." But cut to Baaz, she went way out of her comfort zone and it resulted in a book that I wouldn't cherish or recommend. Don't get me wrong, I loved the story, it is the way it was told that didn't click. When I buy a book in English, I...
