The week was crazy. I read around thirty stories of varying length. Some, I have reviewed. Some are pending. Some did not leave any impression and therefore will not be reviewed. My birthday is nearing and I still haven’t worked on the final draft of the novel I wanted to publish on my birthday. I…

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.
12th July 2019: A Day To Remember
So, finally, my blog hits 15000 mark – in terms of visits, of course. It is no big deal, I know. It cannot be called a successful blog. But it was something I was secretly waiting for. There was another thing I dreaded – a day when my KDP report falls flat. It did. In…
Book Promotion: MAYBE, SOMEDAY (Happily Ever Afters #8)
Introduction: Maybe Someday, was just an idea that popped in my head on a fine Saturday afternoon. Weekends are generally finish-your-weekly-chores routine; aided by a constant stream of thoughts reminiscing past. I recalled my visit to Qamar Ali Durvesh shrine with my family. One thought led to other and a week later, I was…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w26
Achhuuuu… I got flu last Friday and still haven’t recovered. Coming to office with dripping nose and watery eyes is not fun, trust me. Work was okay. I had a demo this week and it went well. I have read a lot this week, especially yesterday. I started an English novel The Captive by M V…
I want to thank my readers
It feels great when people leave rating and reviews on Amazon / Goodreads. It tells me that people are reading my book, which is what a writer wants. Recently, I noticed two incredibly kind souls reading and rating my book on GR, mine being the first book they’ve read in their GR journey. I…
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…
OMG, half the year is gone!
Happy birthday, dad! Yep, it is my father’s 72nd birthday. Alright, so it is 1st of July; half the year has gone by, and I have no clue where it went. I feel that each passing year goes by faster than the previous one. Is it me or do you all feel the same? June…

A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w24
This is the second week post vacation and life has returned to the old track – boring, tiring and irritating routine track. I am on on-call support this week, that means leaving the house at 8:30 AM sharp, and returning by or after 8:30 PM. Being on-call constantly keeps me on my toes. I don’t…
