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-r...

A Bad Day!

What constitutes a "bad day." It starts from the very morning as soon as you get up. You are woken by the heat since the cooler isn't working. You hit your small toe on the side of the bed and it hurts like hell. From that moment on you know that this day is doomed, nothing good can come from it. You should probably  head back to bed right this instant. Days like today are why I want to become a hermit and live in the Himalayas. Now the most important thing in the morning for some people may be bathing or brushing or dressing up or whatever, but for people like me, we live for one thing only - breakfast. So imagine my disappointment when I find the hostel breakfast to be sad (there really is no other word for it), go to the lifesaver - fridge, to find that I am out of bread. Hence a trip to the grocery store now becomes imperative. Scorching heat with an empty tummy, I went on. Barely did I know this was just the beginning. I had to appear for an online test at 10 AM. ...

Pitch Perfect 2

Yes, I watch movies too. The first part was definitely better. It was pretty great actually. This one though ... One word - Weird! Too many bizarre things happening all at once. The characters were same as in the previous part but the storyline was too made-up. It felt as if the writers had no story so just included whatever felt crazy and fun and it really wasn't. Bad bad job. The unnatural German team, then the underground a capella party, the camping trip/ team building vacation just didn't sync! The realistic and simple appeal of the 1st movie was sadly missing along with the melodious tunes. This movie was a "dis-aca-pointment". The best part about the movie was obviously - Fat Amy, who has remained her oblivious, super-cool, chic self. I am in awe of her and I love her. Major girl crush going on here. Rebel, you are my hero. Watch the movie for her or don't. Your choice. It's bad! 😑 Anyways, till next time... Xoxo

Writer's block?

So it has been ages since my last review.. Yeah, yeah I'll stop with the dramatics now, it has been two-three weeks and it's not a big deal. Yet it is. See the problem is that's how long I have gone without reading a book and it doesn't sit well with me. I lose myself when I am not reading. "Fuel to my soul" kinda thing. It isn't like I haven't touched a book at all or anything, because who am I kidding, I can't survive like that. I am still stuck on Emma! It is so frustrating that I can't finish that book, I just can't. Done with half of it but can't bring myself to be done with it. It is true, language of that era was very twisted, like the words are all strung together and no one says what they mean. You have to read a line twice to get the underlying meaning. I mean I love, LOVE,  Pride and Prejudice  but now I feel it is solely for Mr. Darcy. He is the best male character written in history and my #1 Fictional Boyfriend. Yes, th...

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 ...
