People always want to know, especially the ones who care or at least think they care for you if you are okay or not. But what about what lies in between those two words. Most people don’t realise that they’re a whole world between those two ends and that more than half of the timeContinue reading “Okay Or Not Okay?”

Monthly Updates: April’19
Hello, dear readers. I missed March Monthly Updates post but didn’t want to miss April as well, therefore, I thought that even though I am a bit late I’ll go ahead and do a quick update post. Writing: I participated in Camp NaNo with a target of 30K words, but all I managed to writeContinue reading “Monthly Updates: April’19”
2019 Resolutions
I know I’m late for this, but I really like doing a resolutions post and I really didn’t want to miss out this year. I’ll try and keep this post as short as I can because if I’d let myself get carried away then this would be one hell of a lengthy post. So withoutContinue reading “2019 Resolutions”
Getting Back In The Groove
Finally, after almost 1 and a half years, since Eva’s arrival and the start of my health issues (both unrelated, of course), I am feeling like myself again. After such a long break, I have also started re-working on my 2nd novel, Sinister Town, with the kind of energy I always seemed to have before thingsContinue reading “Getting Back In The Groove”
Reading Non-Fiction
For a long time I’ve evaded reading Non-Fiction books because… well, to be honest, I gagged at the idea of spending my time reading something that was not even remotely related to fiction. But when I started writing, I had to, although a bit reluctantly (read – a lot reluctantly), start reading non-fiction books onContinue reading “Reading Non-Fiction”
The First Furry Bud – Eva
I’d been MIA from last year so much that a lot of people have started thinking that I have stopped blogging altogether. That is not true! I love this blog and this is the main one I have so I am never going to stop posting here, no matter what. Now that we have that outContinue reading “The First Furry Bud – Eva”
The Ticking Clock
Lately, I’ve developed this (somewhat weird) obsession with keeping track of the time all the time… All. The. TIME. And the weird part (even more so) is that it started out of nowhere! I’d always been mildly time-conscious and have had an obsession about doing things on time, but never did I obsess over eachContinue reading “The Ticking Clock”
Thai Cuisine? Check!
I’ve wanted to learn Thai cuisine for so long that I don’t even remember since when exactly… and finally, I did it!! Tada… 2018 has really started out well for me and I’m really grateful for it. Last year Vishal wanted to learn Italian cuisine as he and I both love Italian food, and heContinue reading “Thai Cuisine? Check!”
TRB On WordPress.ORG
I’ve been meaning to redesign The Reading Bud – TRB, for a long time now. Ever since I laid eyes on the Tweak Me theme by NoseGrace 2 years back, I knew I HAD to get it. And finally, I did. It was a huge step as a blogger because shifting platforms is never easyContinue reading “TRB On WordPress.ORG”
Writing Rituals Tag
A few weeks ago, I was tagged for The Writing Rituals Tag by my dear friend Galit. Though it’s a bit late, I thought I’d do this tag as I, for one, have tons of small Writing Rituals that I am very fond of. If you haven’t visited Galit’s amazing blog, Coffee n’ Notes, thenContinue reading “Writing Rituals Tag”
Speak Up #domesticviolenceawareness
As a child of a functioning alcoholic, I have seen domestic violence at very close quarters. Though not a direct victim myself, my father loved me too much, I do know how it is as my mother was always on the receiving end. Having stayed up most of the nights with my mother, standing betweenContinue reading “Speak Up #domesticviolenceawareness”
Downtime
I’ve been feeling down from a long time and finally, after a lot of cloudy days and a ton of brooding and despair, I’ve finally started pulling myself out of depression. I’ve been suffering from depression since the age of 10, so it’s always on and off with me, but this time it really hitContinue reading “Downtime”

Quick Updates – #amwriting
I had planned for 2 short stories and 1 article on Writing to post in through April and May, but unfortunately, things got in the way (as they usually do) and I completely forgot about the drafts (some half-baked some ready to go up) sitting patiently on my dashboard. I thought I’ll get back toContinue reading “Quick Updates – #amwriting”

2017 Resolutions
This is the third year I’m doing a ‘Resolutions’ post, so I feel like it’s kind of becoming a ritual now. And I like it as it helps to be more productive. Every year I complete a few resolutions and forget some, but this year I’ve decided to go through the list of my previousContinue reading “2017 Resolutions”

Following are the pictures of the stuff we had for my Birthday week. These are just a few picsContinue reading “The Birthday Post (2016)”

Netflix Affair – Stranger Things
So… finally, NetFlix is available in India. And now I’m on it… as in I have a Netflix account (why the hell did it sound so weird!?) Actually, my HD cable connection is pretty great and I get to watch a lot of series on Comedy Central, Colors Infinity, Star Word, Star World Premiere, etc.Continue reading “Netflix Affair – Stranger Things”
