Maybe, Someday (Happily Ever Afters #8)
After a year of continuous increase in the royalty, I have observed a sudden drop. What am I missing? I write just as much. I have a number of books already on Amazon. Right, I am missing on the biggest and most important part of being a writer – marketing and promotion. My last post…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w25
The monsoon begins and so does the phase of lethargy. I mean, I just don’t want to step out of my bed, let alone stepping out and coming to office. Argh! I don’t have that luxury, though. I envy those who work from home. I wish I had some other profession that required staying in…

Movie Review: Load Wedding
