This week was a 50% anxiety and 50% boredome. I am back to Pune, and back to office. Since Monday morning, the butterflies in my stomach started going crazy until I reached my Pune abode on Wednesday morning.

I am a fairly opinionated person, but people request me to not be honest. I still need a place to voice my opinions, don’t I? These posts are primarily for venting out the frustration. Occasionally, I may share joyous and pleasant news, too.
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w32
I was home for the entire week and it was awesome. I tried finishing the story that was slated to be published in August. I noticed some plotholes and decided to rework some bits. Then, I changed my mind. I don’t think I am publishing anything this month. I have read some Urdu stories, but…
