Dream some more

I wrote this on Saturday morning last week. While I was packing those kids their diwali gifts. I am no poet. No writer even. But like always, I try it with all my heart. Its childish, perhaps. The words are simple and the sense simpler. There is no punctuation, its one single flow of thought penned [...]

I am a diva!

Not by looks. Not even by attitude. And not to you.
To myself. In my heart, I’m a rockstar, a diva!
 
Five feet, five inches tall. Sixty five ( ok sixty six) kilos by weight. Far from a perfect figure. A fair but spotty face. The hair, neither straight nor curly, not even decently wavy. Of hands and feet [...]

My second love

Books.
This tag came from Amrit. Its to list 15 books. The first 15 that strike you in 15 minutes. (And I see no reason in delaying tags just because everyone else does.)
 
1. The Kite Runner: This one holds a special place in my heart. Deep down. I laugh and I cry with it. Every time. My favorite [...]
