Inky Pinky Ponky

A  mother or an author is not supposed to have favourites. But these favourites are not as a writer. They are as a reader for when I read them I feel its not me who has written them. It's just not Me.... It's another me another layer of my soul, a fragment of my imagination, a piece of my heart which could do this and I don't know it will do it again when!


My 7 most favourite posts:

  1. Post Returned Undelivered- This is partly my own story and partly fiction. I still don't know what made me say all that I said but this one still gives me goosebumps. I am always amazed at this piece as it holds a piece of me wrapped amidst it.
  2. An isolated fragment- I myself am from a broken family and hence I understand the hurt and agony a child goes through in such cases.  To be honest this post was never planned. Rather I wanted to talk about divorce from a woman's point of view. As I went to sleep thinking about this I dreamt this post (yess!!!) till the last full stop.
  3. A suicide note - I am not much of a TV person yet somehow I love reality crime shows as they tell me what I am surrounded with. A number of honour killing cases both in print and media lead to this.
  4. A secret revealed- I have been in quite a few relationships, observed many closely and I somehow feel the thin line between love, like and lust is lost somewhere leading to chaos. An attempt to capture that chaos.
  5. I am busy- R K Narayan's Malgudi days inspired this though I never claimed that and yet when in comments people said they saw the glimpses of it, it had to make me feel out of this world.
  6. Of stories and tellers - A love for the written word -both reading and writing lead to this! Sharing some madness :)
  7. Diary of a daughter -Being a daughter, getting married and leaving our parents is a norm which we all have to follow, but what goes on our mind at that time must be something like this!
I just pray I am able to write like this once again and emote such beautiful feelings of love and laughter in life!

Hope you enjoy reading them :)

Book Review: Desiccated Land by David Lepeska

  ISBN: 978-9395481205  Genre: Non-fiction Publisher: Vishwakarma Publications  Bringing together his experiences as a journalist and a keen observer, David Lepeska writes a raw and gut-wrenching book on Kashmir. Part memoir, part travelogue, and part reportage, Desiccated Land is a page-turner.  The book starts by tracing the history of the region along with his own history, as a student who was dimly aware of the history of Kashmir and the turmoil it has been causing for centuries between India and Pakistan. Lepenska takes us to Nilamata Purana ( likely written in the 7th century ) which tells us the story leading to the birth of this region. He also shares an alternate possibility of the word being derived from a lake ‘Mira’ named after Vedic Sage Kashyapa.  His first visit to Kashmir closely followed by his second (and much longer) visit as a journalist working for the Kashmir Observer after the 9/11 attacks, make for an interesting read. Lepeska had questions, a lot of them. An

Book Review: Never Mind Yaar by K Mathur

Introduction ·          ISBN - 978-0-473-17480-4 ·          Genre: Fiction ·          Publishers: Southpac Publishers ·          Price: Rs. 350/- ( I got this book from Blog Adda for a review ) The title is an attitude - our tendency to feel defeated by the scale and nature of certain problems. Rather than meet them head on, we circumvent them with a sigh and a consoling “never mind, yaar”. When long time friends Binaifer Desai and Louella D’Costa meet Shalini Dayal at Gyan Shakti College, a true friendship that transcends cultural and religious backgrounds is born. Louella is a Christian, Binaifer, a Parsi and Shalini, a Hindu. The novel’s main plotline surrounds Shalini who has fallen for an impetuous student activist, Bhagu. Where does his desire to help the less fortunate lead him? The challenges are many - Shalini’s tradition bound family, the couple’s youth and inexperience and the travails of life in Mumbai, a city the girls love but know, is fraug
