Sheer Bliss!!

I have recently added a section to my blog called the Mindboggling Monday- Book reviews where I do  reviews on some of my favourite books. I have also joined Blogadda's book review programme to get to read the best books in the world first :)


This Monday I did a review on A Calendar Too Crowded [ Read it HERE] as a part of BlogAdda's book review program. This was my first book and it has touched me very deeply. It has not only moved me but also motivated me to try and be a real woman of substance. This book has become all the more special as it was my first book after joining BlogAdda and it has left a very deep impact. I am really looking forward to more such books from them now !!

I shared the review with the author , Sagarika Chakroborthy and her views on the same on her blog have left a HUGEEEEEEE smile on my face....

This is the nearest I could get to showing the real expression on my face right now[ Picture Source: Google Images]

Wanted to share my joy with you. [Read the Author's Blog ]

I am truly honoured to recieve this appreciation from her. And guys I truly mean each and every word of the review. Would recommend strongly you all read it and do let me know your views on the same....

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
