You would think if I had my hair cut, why is the post called the 'longest' haircut? Doesn't make any sense. Also, while I spent three hours of my 'me-time' away from the toddler on that uncomfortable chair in the salon, I wondered, why does it take so long to get one's hair cut shorter? … Continue reading Longest haircut ever and what I read last week

Animal Farm by George Orwell – Thoughts
After reading two of his books, I think George Orwell had psychic powers or some sort of vision to be able to see and write things in 1940s that seem true or relevant even now. I'm truly spooked! I had read 1984 earlier and was shaken by the fact that what he had written as … Continue reading Animal Farm by George Orwell – Thoughts
Becoming – Michelle Obama : Written and narrated by Michelle Obama (My thoughts)
How is everyone doing out there? April is almost at its end and May is going to start soon! May is also Mental Health Awareness Month and I want to send all my readers a big hug and some love. Stay strong, love yourself, be kind to yourselves and others. But most importantly, don't forget … Continue reading Becoming – Michelle Obama : Written and narrated by Michelle Obama (My thoughts)
Infidelity in books & movies – Why aren’t there any impartial views?
I struggled a lot with the title of this post, and you'll know why, once you read this. But before I start, I want to write down the definitions of two words I found on the internet, and it is these words, that this post and my thoughts are related to, today. Cheating (Verb): Act … Continue reading Infidelity in books & movies – Why aren’t there any impartial views?
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs – Thoughts
I changed the subject for this post from 'book review' to 'thoughts', because I won't be reviewing the book as such in this post. I will be talking about other things, peculiar and normal, that went through my head when I read the first book from Miss Peregrine's series. For those who don't want to … Continue reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs – Thoughts
Book Reviews – Authors Twinkle Khanna & Amanda Lovelace
Over the last week, I read two books written by women, one a work of fiction with a female lead, and another an anthology of poems. Both books had strong messages on feminism though. Both books were light reads, yet talked about serious issues women have to face even today. **Trigger Warning for both books … Continue reading Book Reviews – Authors Twinkle Khanna & Amanda Lovelace
The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni – Book Review
If anyone is making a list of books that make you fat, because you are always hungry reading about the food in the book - then can you add this book to that list too? 😀 I had borrowed this book from my local library, since I had enjoyed reading two other books from this … Continue reading The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni – Book Review
Less by Andrew Sean Greer – Book Review
Can you believe it - this is probably the first book that I've read, which has won a Pulitzer Prize! And, lo and behold, it was readable and absolutely lovable! If you don't have the patience to read through the rest of my review (which will be short anyway), I'll tell you now - you've … Continue reading Less by Andrew Sean Greer – Book Review
Looking for Alaska by John Green – Book Review
I think the problem with reading a John Green book is that if you started with the exceptionally heart breaking but amazing book of his - The Fault in our Stars, then every other book that you read, although good in their own way, kind of falls short in comparison. I had read Paper Towns … Continue reading Looking for Alaska by John Green – Book Review
The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty (Daevabad Trilogy #1) – Book Review
I was completely engrossed and utterly confused by the time I finished this book! This book wasn't on my radar to read initially in March, and I hadn't even heard of it, until I started coming across multiple glowing reviews to the second book in the series - Kingdom of Copper, in the book blogging community. … Continue reading The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty (Daevabad Trilogy #1) – Book Review
