The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga

This book is brilliant. It is such an amazing book! Ugh. Okay. Let’s make coherent sentences now. What is the book about?

Brida by Paulo Coelho

Brida by Paulo Coelho, is the journey of Brida becoming a witch. It had all the vibes that I love: witches and magi, quaint towns with beautiful histories, MAGIC! It tells not only of Brida’s journey as a witch, but also a blossoming and powerful woman. I had bought this book at an airport last…

The Alchemist: A Book Review

Work Of Art

You. You’re amazing. You are the prayer that brought me in this world. You are the hands that held me when I was still a little bundle of soft cloth, wailing cries and sweet smell. You are the hugs that give me warmth whenever I bring my personal (and very large) stash of crocodile tears…
