“The hardest murder to solve is your own” – that line got me. I was watching clips from the new season of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder (BIG FAN!), then came across a review of Not Quite Dead Yet on Instagram. I had just finished reading The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, and was down for picking another book from the same genre. I knew Holly Jackson wouldn’t disappoint. Not Quite Dead Yet…

Every interview we’ve done so far in this series has moved me in ways I can’t explain. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: The best part of blogging for me is connecting with people across the globe. Every person has their own universe, their own story – and what are we doing if not listening to these stories and sharing ours with the world? Today’s guest is someone who deserves the Sunshine…

अर्ध लक्ष्य एक शाप समानजो पूर्ण न हो, उसे आस है किसकी? भले अज्ञानी को अक्षर का ज्ञान, कहीं अंधकार में धूप हो दिन की। आलस की काज धूम में गर्त है, कहीं बरखा, कहीं छाँह; सूर्य बिन ये अर्द्ध गगन है। -पूर्वा View this post on Instagram

Hey there! Welcome to episode 5 of At least, we did something in lockdown! Our guest today has shown this series a lot of love from the beginning. She is an inspiring woman, a mother to the adorable Lucy, and a great writer. I was so glad to learn more about her through this interview and even more excited when I read a snippet from her novel (you can find it below) that she’s currently working…

I haven’t felt like writing a bit in the past few days, but I don’t want to again disappear from here either so I thought I’ll just leave a life update today Please avoid my lack of use of punctuations in this post because I really am not in the mood of trying to make it perfect. I’ve been having nightmares consistently for a week. And the worst part is that they all seem too real. I’ve been…

How did the blogging community look like from a reader’s POV back in lockdown? To share her side of story, today we have my dear friend Niv from Niv’s Nook. Trust me, if you’re someone who loves reading, you don’t want to miss her blog. She’s the kind of person you have one conversation with, and then you’re like – wow, she’s brilliant. I love the way she writes so much I could write a whole post…

Take me back to the time they aired Barbie movies on the Pogo channel at 8 at night. I am who I am today because of these songs that little me didn’t even know the right lyrics to, but they could lift present me up from even the worst downfall. Barbie Songs That I Owe All My Confidence To On Top of The World Do I even need to elaborate? As soon as that tune reaches my ear, I’m locking in.…

I’m not a fan of historical dramas; in fact, Pursuit of Jade might be my first in this genre, if I’m not forgetting something. I was introduced to this drama thanks to my Instagram feed, and because my algorithm never disappoints, I decided to give it a go. Series Name: Pursuit of Jade Number of EPs: 40 Genre: Romance, Historical Drama Language: Chinese Rating: 8.5/10 ⭐ I’m a simple girl;…

No matter how much I try not to care about what others think of me, just the smallest trigger and those self-evaluating and judging thoughts sprint to my mind as if they were just hiding there, waiting for their cue. So today, I thought, why not find out what my opinion is on me? How do I see myself? I honestly tried to just think about it for half an hour, but it took me nowhere, so I decided…

A week and a few days ago, I put in a word with my boss that I might not be able to work at their institute for the next session. She understood my reasons and gave me insight into various opportunities I could get outside, which led me to submit a job application at the biggest school in the city. Soon after, I went there for an interview, and in this post, I’ll be sharing my experience, along…

When I first made the announcement about this new series, I didn’t really know what to expect. I’m almost never sure whether my ideas make sense to others, so I always hesitate before sharing them with anyone. I think the most confident I felt being expressive was back in those lockdown days when I was active on my blog almost every day. But this time, I feel that spark coming back to me, thanks…
