A silent wish
Shrutika Kahale
May 2020

No , I ain't the one with an appealing smile, not the one with a winsome face and hilarious personality with hint of grace. Not the one who hangs out with a bunch of peeps bunking classes and planning trips with friends who flaunt their teeth in pictures on social media Who give ears to useless rants and worthless ideas. Am not even the one with huge glasses

A letter to my mother
Shrutika Kahale
Feb 2018

Dear aai, You and I are a part of two different worlds. Yet, we have one thing in common, we both come from women who changed their names for a man, women who travelled galaxies after galaxies to a place where they finally lost their identity. Aai, you come from a world where

Invisisble spectators
Shrutika Kahale
Jan 2019

Remember the day you said? "No one's here, no one's watching." I almost believed you that day. Today, as I am here again, Here again after so long, I see us right here, at this window, Right here where you hugged me for the first time. I hear you breathe heavily again, As if we never left this place. I see us right here talking our hearts out,

BOOK REVIEW

A female bibliophile reading her favourite book in leisure while sitting on her bed.

The immortals of meluha
Amish Tripathi
May 2020

The very popular and one of the most loved books, The Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi, was my first mythological fiction, as well as it's the first part of Shiva Trilogy, and it's not surprising that it has undoubtedly captured a place to my favourites list. Amish takes you back in time to narrate a tale, that will climb up to and in your heart and make it a home. This tale tells us about Shiva, whose own karma,

And the mountains echoed
Khalid Hosseini
May 2020

Hosseini's first two books - ' The kite runner' and 'A thousand splendid suns' have undoubtedly made their place in the best seller list. A teller of tales as Hosseini has been, 'And the mountains echoed' is a beautiful journey in the spider web of tales, and to be honest, my very first one with Hosseini. The story focuses on the beauty and innateness of the sibling relation of Abdullah and Pari and blends you on. I called it a spiderweb of tales

Before I die
Jenny Downham
Nov 2016

Before I die, by jenny Downham is a young adult, published in 2007, and obviously an internationally bestselling book. This book is described as " heartbreaking and devastating, yet sparkling with life." I believe, there cannot exist a better description of this book in such few words. The name of the book gives a sheer idea of what it could be about. But no, don't be in a hurry to judge a book by its name. As I said about, 'the fault in our stars', this book too is not about death, its about life.

MOVIE REVIEW

Two friends enjoying sky diving at unimaginable height in the perfect blue sky.

Zindagi na milegi doobara
Zoya Akhtar
May 2020

'Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara', A film that stays true to its name, robbed our hearts 9 years ago and is still not ready to give it back. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, this movie is so loved and so popular because of the message it conveys to the soul of its audience. No, nothing out of the box, a cliche message of "Live in the present" is beautifully conveyed in an applaudable manner to make our hearts feel for life.

Forest Gump
Robert Zemeckis
May 2020

The too good to be true film "Forrest Gump" of 1994 is one of the best films for a number of reasons. So many reasons that the entire sky will seem small to fit them. This movie received it's the spectacular and flawless direction from Robert Zemeckis. But we also have the spine of the movie, the unbeatable actor who has a huge role in making this film what it is today, the one and only, Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks plays the lead role, Forrest Gump, in a way that deserves more than a standing ovation.

The fault in our stars
Josh Boone
May 2020

'The fault in our stars' isn't just another movie that you watch with a bag of popcorn and a box of tissues, this film is undoubtedly more than that. Based on the best selling novel by John Green, this story is not conceived just by emotions and passion, it is also conceived by cancer. It is this life taking disease that has given birth to the story and every single turn of event from it, it is cancer who brings the two lovers together and make them fall for each other and
