Joe will hunt you down too!!

I know which novel I would read next and that is You by Caroline Kepnes . As I finished off watching first season of You on Netflix, I am going bonkers over its second season. I binged watched this series and I would spill some beans from the first season as it was so intriguing and captivating. I am wondering what would it be like to read the novel by drawing a big chart on my whiteboard which I did while reading The Godfather by Mario Puzo . That book made me cry for days and it was like my world ended with its last chapter. Likewise, I am glued to You because of Joe and I believe no character would have been so powerful what he played on the screen.  Joe’s role as a bookstore manager in New York stayed longer than I expected in my mind because of the mindful conversations he played in his mind while being a stalker to the girls he fantasize about or wish to date. Guinevere Beck, an upcoming writer, broke as hell, sweet and sassy, fall prey of his words and first conver...

I yearn to build Sandcastles!!

Book: Sandcastles Author: Sana Rose  Last year, I completed reading Sandcastles and it was my 40 th book of the year. It took quite a while to settle down in my mind. This was for the second time I read a book while interacting with author at the same time. It means a lot to me because these interactions evoke some sort of deeper emotions into me which I wouldn't have felt otherwise. Also, these interactions inspire me to write down my own book and become more dedicated to the writing regime. Coming to the book, Sandcastles is about courage, strength and never giving-up attitude of three girls who turned into women of spirit and character with their ongoing struggles and hardships. I loved Ria for her kindness and compassionate attitude. I loved Trisha for her strong spirit and taking a plunge on raising her kids all alone. I loved Selena for giving up her own dreams and living a life of single mother (which sincerely demands a lot of patience and love in heart)...

The Report- Movie Review I downloaded this movie last week on Amazon Prime and today I watched it out. I am going bonkers over Adam Driver's superbly played role as a United Nations Senator's Official FBI guy who did work arduously and prepared a report of 7000 pages to highlight the discrepancy of CIA while dealing with people and detainees who caught post 9/11 attacks. I am amazed at his adept skills of writing the report all day and night, bringing it to the eyes of his boss and CIA people, without any disgrace and abhorrence. I am touched to the core at the Senator's last speech which Daniel Jones prepared stating America will never turn its back in admitting its flaws and ensuring that such gross mistakes will never be made in future again. It's a great thing to bring that report in front of all of course by hiding CIA people real identities, even some of them got promoted, knowingly they have had blood in their hands of 119 detainees who never admitte...

A Child's Broken World

The Long Road Home- Danielle Steel   Before I give an insight on this book, I must admit I am a kid at heart. I picked this book from my friend and I couldn’t stop crying reading first three chapters and throughout afterwards. I am someone who admires kids but never feel like owning one. And I give myself pat on the back for my decision knowing this fact; there are people in this world that would go extra-mile to hurt their own kids. Like the way I happened to read about Gabriella in this book.  Gabriella Harrison : A fragile and decent soul. She is someone you will fall in love with. She was born out of sheer unluck and her mother never left any moment to degrade her feelings with so much wrath and disrespect. As per her mother, she wasn’t a good girl and she should have been dead rather than the pain she inflicted on her. Gabriella was hurt countless times and beaten badly every now and then by her devilish mother. She was abandoned when she turned ten years old. S...

Daughters of the Brothel by Deepak Yadav

Life doesn’t stop amazing and amusing me at times. On 23 rd December, I was asking to take a final call on my book publishing from a friend who is already an author. Her name is Sana Rose and her book Sandcastles I read and reviewed too. She was suggesting me how publishing goes for poetry and fiction book. She came up with a name called Big Foot Publications . I immediately looked for the information on their website and called on the given number appeared on the screen. I spoke to Deepak Yadav (yes, the owner of Big Foot Publications). He told me how poetry books don’t do well in India but if I still want to go ahead, I can come up with 3 poems as sample along with my author bio. At that point of time, I didn’t know who I spoke with and I gave my book for publishing to a different publisher. In real, Blue Rose was my first publisher so I gave my book to them for poetry genre. For fiction, I would look for more publishers I guess so.  Coming to the book: Daughters of...

What do I stand by?

-
I am up for a small exercise as my dearest friend on LinkedIn is spreading words of positivity and motivation throughout this journey of life.  I am going to share my take on this and I hope if you would do the same it may resolve many issues within self. The answer always lies within.  Record and update answers to the following questions in every context - emotional, personal, family, financial and spiritual, etc.  a)      What are my values?  My values come from my parents to huge extent and no matter what they have never told me to give up ever in life. I am equally amazed as their way of motivating me at times just by looking at my face and I will always be thankful for their sheer love and faith in me. The more I get to know them, the more I realize they could be my best friends as they have plenty of things to share with me. b)     What do I stand by? I stand for justice and I don’t believe in...

My First Sensible Interaction in Gym

-
It’s not my time to make new friends because I don’t trust people easily anymore. But yesterday, I interacted with a woman in my Gym. She comes everyday in the evening with her daughter as her daughter needs to shed some extra fats. We all were cycling together so she asked me 'why do I come to Gym?'. I told her to keep myself super active and also I love being healthy. Then one layer of conversation led to another and I realized we both have one thing in common i.e. Writing. She is writing her first book that too in Hindi. She was feeling hesitated to share this as people are more inclined to read in English but I told her write your heart-out in the language in which you can give your best shot. She instantly asked for my Instagram handle which I shared and checked her posts too. She writes well and I don’t think so she wouldn’t do great in Hindi language. I personally believe language is just a way to interact else people who cannot speak interact amongst themselves too...
