An Introvert’s Strange Guide to Making Friends
Well certainly this is not a movie. At least I don't think it is. But if there is one by that title please let me know so that I can check it out. It's just a glimpse into my life. One of my unspoken resolutions for this year is to make new friends. In particular … Continue reading An Introvert’s Strange Guide to Making Friends
I signed up for a group writing challenge…
Have you watched 'Raya and the Last Dragon' yet? There's that scene where Sisu confesses how she didn't really do much. And she gave that classic allusion; the dreaded group assignment where there is usually someone who doesn't pull their weight but still gets all the credit. I laughed at that. I've been the victim … Continue reading I signed up for a group writing challenge…
5 things I learnt…or remembered from being offline.
One of my favourite scenes in The 100 Season 1, because I'm yet to go beyond Season 2, is when the ship lands on Earth and Octavia is offered the first step on earth.

Because we will be celebrating International Women's Day tomorrow, its certainly … Continue reading Sugar, spice and all other things nice…

One of my goals this month is to learn more about writing (and yes, I know the best way to learn about it is to write🙄). But … Continue reading So, You Want To Tell A Story, Eh? [Repost]
Love is a revolution – Book review
This is my first authentic book review, I think. Most of the time I just get a central theme that stood out for me and go along with that. Highlighting the book and talking about everything else. 'Love is a Revolution' by Renée Watson was my favourite read in the month of Feb. I thought … Continue reading Love is a revolution – Book review
They don’t know about…
Us, if you are thinking of the One Direction song which I have loved. Or It. Whatever 'it' is to you. Your problem, your friendship/relationship, your studies, your successes, your failures...your 'it'. Does that make any less significant? When you can't (or won't) post about it on your social media and call up everyone in … Continue reading They don’t know about…
