When hubby and I started to get to know each other, we rejoiced in our common interests. Music , reading, photography etc. After marriage we realised that though we had common interests, the subjects of those interests are totally different. I love hindi music whereas he loves sinatra and dean martin. I love reading novels whereas he loves reading books…
Brand New Day
So, yesterday sucked big time. But today is a new day. All my chores are done, the house is clean and baby and me are fresh as daisies. It’s amazing how when you feel sick, everything around you seems to be going to the dogs. Things just seem to be falling to pieces all around you. But when you have…
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
The third installment of the Hunger Games series of-course comes with the baggage of the level of the past two. In this book we find the ‘mocking jay’ taking up her role seriously understanding what the position entails. She as usual is figuring out her feelings of the two heroes and the politics that’s surrounding her. I personally was a…
The Poet
I loved the Lincoln Lawyer n many other Connely charachters. For me the foreword by Stephen King ruined the experience of reading the book. My expectations soared as the novel lagged behind trying to catch up. The plot of murders of homicide cops was good. The way the clues unfolded was well thought. The characters were beautifully sketched. What lacked…
Mrs. Singh
The first time someone called me Mrs. Singh, I was getting on a plane going to Goa on our honeymoon. I’ve been Miss. Singh all my life so being called Mrs. Singh was such a rush !! Took a second to register that I’ve now taken on a number of new versions of me, the most important of which is…
The Time Traveller’s wife
What a truly beautiful piece of art. Just the kind of book a tired soul needs on a rainy day. The book holds onto you from the first page, carrying you forward into a world where love is magical. Not the I’ll bring the stars for you kind but the ” honey, you forgot to bring milk but I still…
How Rude !!
It doesn’t take much to tip me over to the dark side, ranting and raving about human stupidities. One of the cases is usually when I do something with a good intention only to have it leaving me aghast at how indifferent people are to others’ feelings. You know when you have a conversation with someone with a tentative feeling…
No reason
The house is quiet. I’m sitting here, feeling peaceful. The food is made, the house is clean, there is a serenity in the air as the two pieces of my heart drift in and out of their dream lands. I wile away time by reading recipes and ” The Time Traveler’s Wife. ” Somehow right now I’m happy. You know,…
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Takes long time to start n too emotionally stagnant. But as the book progresses the story seems to take off and fly. I personally loved the way emotions of all the protagonist are not limited to whether or not she loves Gale or Peeta, though that got old in the first book itself. The caring and support system that develops…
