Today it took me one hour and forty-five minutes to get to office, thanks to the traffic. No, I wasn’t driving. The commute still left me tired. I felt bad for the office cab’s driver. He, and his fellow drivers have a tough job. I take this moment to thank them. True, they are just…

Navratri – Festive Celebrations at Work
Ahem. Time for another peek into my life as a software professional. I am getting bolder by the day, aren’t I? (A pat on my back for being brave, ehehehe) Those in India or from India or know about India, would know that Navratri (nine nights) is being celebrated these days. Each day is assigned…

The week that was: #1
Good morning all! This is time for a recap of my week. This week was pretty dull. The offsite trip was exhausting and even on Monday morning, I felt tired. But coming to office was must – we have senior director visiting us from the US of A. The next day, I couldn’t drag myself…
Book Review: “Qaraqoram Ka Taj Mahal” by Nemrah Ahmed
Background: After reading Paras, I was so mesmerized by Nemrah Ahmad’s writing that I quickly asked around for more of her books. Thanks to my sister, again, who recommended and shared the pdf of “Qaraqoram Ka Taaj Mahal”. I had drafted it back in November… November 23, 2017 to be precise. And I publish it now. I…

Book Review: Alif – Episode #3 (By Umera Ahmed)
The third episode unfolds some more mysteries & introduces one more character – Abul Aala, Momin’s grandpa; and the most important character, in my opinion. The episode ends on a cliff-hanger. Like really hangs the reader. The calligraphy link is stronger than I had imagined. Momin and Momina both can do calligraphy. In this episode,…
Crooning Techies: The Novel
Each day, I am taking baby steps towards achieving my passion for writing. My journey for indie author is taking baby steps as well. My first full length novel is 80 percent done, and there is another 80 percent remaining. Just like my journey, I am phasing out the publishing process too. I would prefer…

Book Review: Alif – Episode #2 (By Umera Ahmed)
The second episode reveals some more characters. It reveals some relationships amongst them. And no, I’m not mentioning those here. Read for yourself 🙂 It generates further curiosity. The tracks will converge soon, based on the first two episodes. The calligraphy link is already established. This novel is sounding like Mann-o-Salwa. The setting and the…
