Day 63 [BoB] The Nerve To Fail.

A lot of people in the world havetaught me that crying, asking for help and showing that one was not all right, was a sign of weakness. Some even saw it as a failure. Right now, I feel like it’s the exact opposite.

TEN THINGS EVERY WRITER WANTS TO HEAR ALL THE TIME

It’s no big surprise. Everyone around me knows that I’m a weird little creature. I bury myself inside a cozy world of fantasy, multi task between writing short stories, writing a novel, blogging, and studying. I usually love hanging around with people. However, I’m not going to lie, but there are certain instances when “People” make

On Brave Cowards and Disney Princes. [With Priyakshi Sharma]

I’ve finally finished the long awaited collab-post with Priyakshi Sharma and it’s turned out to be intense, amusing and magical. To those of you who don’t know, she’s a writer and my soul-sister. We’ve known each other for more than a year now, and I have to say, she doesn’t cease to fascinate me with her brilliant

Day 37, Life’s Too Short. [BoB]

There isn’t any significant update about my manuscript yet, but I may potentially have some good news soon, IF things go the way I hope they do. A couple of days ago, I was hit with the sudden realization that life was too short. And this realization has wounded me quite deeply because it

Five Favorite Feelings.

When I woke up this morning, I was scrolling down my previous blog posts and my Facebook timeline (Yes, I stalk myself online, don’t judge me :p ) and I couldn’t help but worry about the kind of mood I’ve been in for the past few weeks. I’ve been gloomy, depressed and so full of

Day 23, Snails and Regrets. [BoB]

What do you do when you fear losing something that you never had? It’s going to sound complicated, but that’s just the phase that I’m stuck in. I’m regretting the steps that I never took, the luck that never was mine and the things that I never had. What’s more, rolls of irrational fear of losing

Sexism : Opinions By A Lady.

It’s funny how easily they quite easily categorize women. She’s either a Lady, or a slut. She’s either innocent, or evil. She’s either a dumb blonde or an insufferable know it all. She’s either an angel or a witch. She’s either super sweet or super hot. She’s either adorable, or awkward. She’s either a professional,

The Love that I Think I Deserve.

I’m a girl with so many flaws, with the most prominent of them being this: I struggle with forgiveness. I am that type of girl, who can hold on to a grudge for seven lives. I know it sounds unbelievable, unladylike and immature. I haven’t really talked about this to anyone except my mother and my

Day 08, Sober. [BoB]

I have this sudden and impulsive urge to get up, throw my hands up in the air and scream ‘Dobby is Freeeeee!!’ in the highest pitch that my vocal chords might hit. Well, not exactly, but you get the idea. All my exams are done, and I feel strangely relieved. I’ve never been a full time

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. It’s not fear, doubt and failure that’s depressing me, but rather the lack of motivation, butchering of the spirit, and the ill treatment of my manuscript
