January has been an amazing month for me! Half of the time I was vacationing at home, glad to not be studying all the time and pulling my hair out of frustration. Just kidding. The other half of January has been spent starting a new semester and just trying to breathe between classes and clubs. […]

I used to be one of those readers who would never leave a book in between, no matter what. Whether the book was boring or gruesome or hard to understand, I would bear through it all to turn that very last page. But over the years I’ve realised that there’s nothing wrong with not finishing […]

Do I love music? Absolutely. Am I as caught up with English pop culture as I should be? Absolutely not. To be fair, I’m not caught up with much of the Indian cinema either and well when it comes to Indian music, it’s what I was raised on. Recently though, Bollywood is churning out some […]

Honestly even as I type these words I just can’t believe that I’ve written a 100 freaking blog posts. 100 blog posts. 100 actual website pages with coherent sentences that people have read and appreciated. This is literally blowing my mind. And to top that off yesterday I hit 500 wordpress followers! I mean I […]

Have you ever looked at a book cover and found it so stunning that you feel you could stare at it for a thousand years? Have you felt like that about almost every book? Well if you answered yes to either of those question then you’ve got a bit of luck on your side. Today […]
Look who’s taking out a tag from her chest of buried awards and tags that she is even embarrassed to think about? It’s me. Unfortunately. I am so behind on all of these that I’m very tempted to do what my friend Nandini did and abandon all of them except those that I got tagged […]
