Book Review #1

Just Friends :D



While searching for a fiction book to read at my sis’s place, my eyes suddenly stuck at the title "Just Friends" by Sumrit Shahi. The title itself forced me to pick up that book from the bunch of other fictions. And in the end all I could say is it was the best choice. Not because I was so willing to read it, but it was related to my life in some way.


Whenever we talk about a romantic novel, we talk about Nicholas Sparks. When it comes to "Indian Authors" and "Love Stories", I stay away. But as soon as I read out the synopsis of the book, I couldn't wait to read it. It defines the same old question "Can a girl and a boy be just friends?" This question because at the end of the day a bond is formed; a bond secure enough to make us so habitual about each other. There are so many movies and books that defend that a guy and a girl can never be friends.


The author has indeed penned down a straight from a heart story which quite truly reflects upon the mindset of modern teenagers, the relationships they share with parents and friends. The theme is not new, but the story is refreshing. On a personal front his book is the one that is not easy to put away because he has made one like a part of the book.


Go for the book, it is for all those who believe in friendship.

Feminism 2.0

Yesterday, I was having a conversation with my old friend and he asked me if I was still blogging. And I sighed immediately. The worst feeling is not giving time to writing. There are so many things to be told but I just feel too lazy. But now let me make a resolution of at least trying to bring up to you one topic per month. I don’t promise though. So, why this topic? A cliched term? I am not the one to give opinion here. The word feminism has very broad meaning. But I always look up to it and construe the same with my own experiences. I am quite amused by the interpretation of being a feminist and rolling of eyes that is freely accompanied by this topic. The word feminist is interpreted as bitch in a black suit, men-hater and who always consider herself superior, sometimes “divorced” and also annoyed at the entire world. Absolute myths surrounding the word. How many of you come across women starting the topic with “I am not a feminist but...”? I mean why you need to justify? ...

Short Tale: #1 when you have that “baby” face

No, I am not talking about people looking younger than their age; but people who actually look 6-7 years younger than their age. And now I know that is the case with me. I have like encountered more than 50 cases of now where the world reminds me I don’t actually look a grown up girl sorry rather an “adult”. Whenever I go to stationery shop the shopkeeper always asks me that whether I am in 10 th and giving my boards? This means I look 8 years younger. And then again I need to explain him that no I just love shopping this stuff. I have never been taken seriously in shops and malls as they think I am school going kid. I am in my last year of CA internship; in my workplace also all of the seniors exclaim I would look the youngest CA soon. So last week we had a trip to Hyderabad for some audit related work. We were returning to Ahmedabad in flight and the only seats which were available were those near the emergency exits. We adjusted ourselves there. The air-hostesses came to ...

We miss you Grand mom!

That day, 31 st august, 2013; mom came in my room and in a heartbreaking tone she ordered me to shut off the T.V. I probably knew the reason but never wanted that to come true. As soon as I entered my grand mom room she lost all her senses. Did I really lose her? Was she no more in this world? I stood there; unable to move myself and trying to believe the reality! Tears came from my eyes. Everything stood still for me. I wish she lived more. I cried in an empty room remembering each and everything she did for me. My grandmother. More than a grand mom she was equal to my mom. I spent 19 years of my life with her. She pampered me like no one else and she probably had a hand in spoiling me and making me so stubborn. She used to tell me stories and sing lullabies every night to make me sleep till I turned 15. She would feed me at times when I had a row with my parents and she always fought with mom and dad to support me. She encouraged me even in studies and every time I used to ach...
