How far should one go to get reviews?

How do I find myself as a writer? – raw, unrefined and unpolished. How do I find myself as a marketing: bad. No, pathetic. PATHETIC. Terrible. I can go on, but you get the drift. How do I handle the review? One review (good or bad) and I run to my room, hide myself under…

I joined NaNoWriMo

That’s right folks. Trying hard to recover from self doubt attack and shrug off the negativity, I was on my regular intake of ‘social media scroll through’ spree when I saw NaNoWriMo.

Kids and Parents

Kids are small bundles of joy (and trouble). I am not a parent, but I have been with enough kids to know how a parent ‘may’ feel. I have been blessed… correction. My sisters have been blessed with three sons, and a son and a daughter respectively. For me, I have four beautiful (and crazy)…

Self Doubt 2.0

I had planned to write a post celebrating my journey. Today, ‘Uff Yeh Ladki’ completes six months of  its digital publish. Instead, here I am. Irony? So what brings me here with a continuation of my old post? Self doubt, of course. I know I shouldn’t; but I do obsess over the ratings and reviews….

Drama Review: Dil Mom Ka Diya (Episode 17)

Dil Mom Ka Diya, drama by Shahid Shafat, on ARY Digital. The drama has been written by our very own Saira Raza. I have not read much written by her. But whatever I have, I have been immensely entertained. Read the review of previous episodes Episode 1-12, episode 13-14, and episode 15-16. Review: Afzal finally shows…
