Day 01, Bride of the Battalions. [BoB]
It’s been a very depressing week. It’s been more than a month since I’ve finished the first draft of my novel and things have got a lot complicated since.

Easier Said Than Done.
It hardly feels like summer here in Madurai. There’s this continuous rain that’s lashing against my windows, and it’s absolutely quiet. I see flashes of thunder and lightening at a distance. What’s more, I feel much more relaxed than I did all week, because I’m done with one of my exams and I now have… Read more

Camp NaNoWriMo Prep – The Commitment issue.
Writing a novel, or even attempting to, is REALLY hard. And trying to do so, in one month, is even harder. Sometimes, you just want to quit. Or half way through, you just feel like the story you’re writing is pure garbage. You feel like you really want to be doing something else with your time.… Read more

The April Session Of Camp NaNoWriMo is here and I am participating! I’ve never participated in NaNoWriMo before, because, I never really thought that I had what it takes to finish novel.

Why Our Hearts Break.
Heart breaks can be a very hard thing to understand. I don’t think I’m at the master level of it yet, but I’ve got the gist of it down and I’ll try my best to pass it on. Heart breaks are horrible, dispiriting and nastily painful. But they teach us a very valuable lesson. When you go through… Read more

Friend Zones: A Case Study.
I’m going to try my best to sound as polite as possible with this post. The ‘Friend Zone’ is often seen as a very touchy and sensitive subject.
