Y is for Yellowed Diary


In the dark corners of my room, hidden beneath those old treasure chests
Carefully hidden from the prying eyes, safely tucked in a faraway corner
Is a yellowed diary which holds my heart in pieces that you left me with.
It holds the love I had for you, with all the dreams we had seen together.
Some fragments of broken promises and some of false hopes.
Those pages witnessed all that we had been through shedding copious tears with me each night
When you find do hold it with all the love for it is fragile like the old memories it holds
Flip pages with care not to tear any more than the shreds it already is in.
Slowly turn to the last page to read my last words:



Every night I stare at a star studded sky wondering what’s in store for me. I try to connect the dots and form a picture only to realise some of them are missing. Someone once told me every time I shed a tear a twinkling star is born and when I will connect them I will be able to witness the journey of my life. Does that mean every time my heart broke a star fell down? Maybe, because that explains the missing dots so well.

Books on Cinema

For a long time, cinema was a world I wasn’t allowed to enter. I grew up in a home where movies were banned. No television, no glimpses of silver screens, and no songs echoing from old classics. For nearly a decade, cinema was a forbidden word like a secret behind a closed door.  And yet, like all things that carry truth and longing, it found its way to me. Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear.

Book Review: Rau -The Great Love Story of Bajirao Mastani by N.S. Inamdar (Translated by Vikrant Pande)

Introduction ISIN:  978-9382616801 Genre: Historical Fiction / Romance / Drama Publishers: Pan McMillan India Price:  Rs. 399/- ( I got this book from the publisher for a review ) ‘My eyes, they rain all the time My eyes, they rain all the time Till I see him in mine’ When Shrimant Bajirao Peshwa, feared by even the mighty Mughals, hears the exquisite Mastani sing, the passion that sparks between them grows quickly into a raging fire. The Peshwa defies his orthodox Brahmin heritage, declaring his love openly for the half-Muslim dancer, in the face of fierce opposition. A man way ahead of his time, Bajirao causes outrage when he marries Mastani, bringing her into his home as his second wife. N.S. Inamdar’s timeless tale, that has inspired both film and television, brings alive the romance, intrigue and valour of the eighteenth-century Maratha empire. This irresistible novel is one of India’s favourite love stories. Behind the book
