• Writing Q&A: Villains.

    Writing Q&A: Villains.

    Villainy is fascinating. As a writer, it is also one of the biggest challenges I’ve ever faced. Not much of my short stories and first two novels have real villains, per se. I’m one of those writers who pen stories that revolve around Situational Villainy. Which means, the villains in most of my stories aren’t usually

    Wild, Wild Nights.

    The night owls have been glorified and articulated to be extra creative – well I strongly disagree. I had a revelation when I woke up and made myself a cup of tea, this morning. I don’t know if it was the very rhythm of grabbing my mug, placing a bag of Darjeeling tea and then

    Stress And Me.

    I’m just not one of those stay-at-home full time writers/bloggers for two reasons. One, I would be impoverished and two, I do not want to live under my parents’ or future husband’s supports.

  • 5 Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before You Fall.

    I shouldn’t be allowed to write this. In all honesty, I should be dragged away from my computer and locked in an underground cellar, just so that I do not proceed any further with this outrageous post. I have no qualification to be writing this. Taking relationship advice from me, is like taking non-violence lessons from

    Broken Magic.

    In case you’ve all been wondering where I vanished, let me assure you – I have not been battling writer’s block! In fact, I’ve disappeared because of the exact opposite reason.
