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? ...

That sticky-note!

 It was during March where I was fed up of my schedule, and that feeling had somehow made me cranky. I was sitting on my study table with books all piled up and me staring at them. I was somehow trying to calm my mind from getting stressed up. And at that very moment, my brother came inside my room and unknowingly disturbed my thinking. He just wanted to borrow my ruler. He patiently asked me if he could, and I shouted at him for always borrowing my things and not returning them. My whole frustration was on him now; I got a reason to pour it out, and that too on my younger brother. He left picking up the scale without any reflexes. And I got back to my zone, wondering and worrying! With all these I concluded that I need a little nap and then things might get better. It was after half an hour that I woke up and what I found was my ruler with sticky note. The ruler was exactly at it's place but with a note attached. My brother had quietly sneaked in and left that. And ...

Acquaintance

It was 2016! Where I started cursing my life, started the thought process that “Why me?”  Those things never go and it didn’t go unless it taught me. Going through difficult time is never easy. God is usually blamed far more than His share, at times no share. Time never flies by. 24 hours are too long. I felt as if I was less fortunate that I had to go through so many career and personal flaws in a year. But past two months has changed something in me. My greatest teacher recently has been two females which I acquainted recently. During mid of August this year, I met a 28 year old girl in my CA coaching classes. We all were having random conversations about hardships that we all have faced while pursuing CA course. And she shared her's. She lost her father when she was 24 leaving her elder sister, herself and her mother behind and also a huge business to run. Amongst all these chaos and trouble, the emotional trauma, she not only did complete her studies, but took entir...
