Things that never change
It has been about 150 years since the phone was invented and more than 50 years since mobile phones came into picture. And we have seen more than 10 years of smart phones. We still talk on phone so loud as if we actually sending our voice directly, and not over phone. When do we…
“Jannat Ke Pattay” by Nemrah Ahmed
“Jannat Ke Pattay” is my go to book. When I can’t decide what I should read, I open this. The characters, the story stays with me. Yet, I find it new every time I read it. I like how detailed her research is. I like how she interweaves the plot in different time periods. I like…

Back From Break
Happy New Year Everyone! Been away from WordPress for a long time, or so it seems. I was overloaded with office work, and that followed by a 6 days long rejuvenating stay with family, although in a city where mercury was a little dipped. And, hold on to your seats, I made my first sale….

Quote of the Day #005
I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to protect myself from exactly this situation. And you can’t do it !
