To The-One-That-Got-Away, It’s Valentine’s Day soon and somehow I can’t stop thinking about how we spent it together last year. It felt like destiny (to me) that first moment our eyes met. The loud music of the party ceased to ring in my ears, all I could hear was the thumping of my heart. Flushed,…
Book Review | Circe By Madeline Miller

I am no great thinker or someone with a lot of wisdom. During my calm moments, I give myself some great advice – which I tend to conveniently forget when things get just a little out of hand. So this is a post for me and YOU (if you need good advice from a friend)…

It was a normal Sunday morning, I woke up late and didn’t feel like leaving the warmth of my blanket. I had barely even registered being awake when I noticed my phone abuzz with messages. And then I saw this.. I was in the Sunday magazine published by a leading Indian newspaper (albeit it was…
