For many of us, buying books is not as easy as buying clothes. Of course, there's emotional attachment while shopping for both.
A slap on my left cheek, and as my head turned to the right, I could see my upper arm bleeding from the cut of the knife he used to get my blouse off the chest.
One cigarette after another, and another after that. Aai was sure an addict now...
A silent wish

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

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

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,
We believe there's art everywhere. So, here we are,
trying
to
render a stage to the journey of your feelings from your heart to the world.
So what are you waiting for? spill your heart, it could be your writings or it could be your
paintings, maybe a song cover or how about a poem you wrote for your lover? We are trying to
support
as many art forms as we can.

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.
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
