Chapter – 3 “The school spoke” “NO ONE CAN LEAVE THIS PLACE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION”, a loud voice came from behind me. It didn’t sound human. The accent was a bit British, and the manner was such that it could terrify any human being. I was so petrified that I could not even move an inch. I badly wanted to turn around and see the source of that loud and terrible sound, but it seemed as though someone was holding …

A bookstore that believes in giving the booklover an experience and not merely enabling a transaction. A bookstore set up more than twenty years ago, which became a pit stop for many a book lover. Those were the days when bookstores catered to the safe and time tested needs of the regular book lovers. There wasn’t anyone who considered keeping books on unusual and unconventional topics like mind-body and spirit as there wasn’t a great demand for them. Nonetheless, some …
Another fantastic product from Ma Earth Botanicals, a company that believes in natural skincare and plant-based beauty. I have been using this product for more than six months now with fabulous results. I can see a visible difference around the area under my eyes. As one grows old, the eyes are one of the first areas to show signs of ageing because the skin under the eyes is thin and delicate. This can happen even when one is in one’s …
The Berlin Girl is a book with flavours of history, thrill and love all thrown in to make it a compelling read. It is a riveting account of life in Berlin just before WW II. It keeps you on edge all the time, leaving you with no choice but to keep turning the pages. The best part is that you pretty much know what’s going to happen, but you still can’t stop reading. The story is about Georgie, a fledgling …
Though technology in the form of ebooks, audiobooks is trying to replace the brick and mortar book stores, I am still an old school person when it comes to books. I love to hold a book when I read it. The touch and feel and the smell as you turn the pages are things that I still care for. Though I have a kindle, have tried audiobooks as well, a physical book is a joy that I am not prepared …
Garima…… A forgotten memory.. that is who she has become now. I have to make an effort to remember anything at all about her. Her mannerisms, voice, gestures, reactions, all of which were so much a part of my life… Where are they now? Buried under sands of memory, sands of time.. Where once she was just a heartbeat away, today she is miles and years away. Where once I could not do without seeing her or talking to her …

Chapter 1 “And then she left” “And then she left”, those were his words. After last night, I was dying to know how the story was going to unfold itself. So, this morning I picked up the car keys and was all set to meet him again. I was at my location in half an hour, same as yesterday, a barren forest land not visited very often. My eyes were looking for him all over the place. I kept waiting …
Life for a woman is never easy, largely because of how society is, the way people are and the way they have been conditioned to think and believe. No matter what we do, where we reach, what we achieve, certain stereotypes, certain stigmas continue to be an integral part of our societies, and women have to bear the brunt of most of these. Every young woman believes she can break the stereotype; she can be the one to bring the …
