6 Hours Waiting and 3 eBooks #BibliophileLife
About a month back, (okay a day lesser) I had to wait for about 6 hours to catch a flight back to Bengaluru. What transpired was a restless 6 hour wait and a date with 3 books. 🙂 Intrigued or wondering what? Read along and you’ll know. The longest Wait for a Flight The husband and me are travel buffs, who always look for reasons to do that. When my birthday coincided with our 1st anniversary, a trip was meant to be. Especially when I am in Bengaluru and he in Jakarta. Srilanka became the obvious choice and man, was it the most relaxing trip we have ever had! More…

Eat Pray Love – A book that takes you on a journey
Thank god to having quit my job and the time I have, as I wait to get married. ? I have been able to catch up on my reading. I must say thanks to my sister Bindu and her collection of books too. Though I have not been doing all that justice to reading (blame my laziness and sleep), I am happy to be reading some really good books. Eat Pray Love, which was a overrated film for me till date, has transformed itself to be a book I would come to love. (Note: This is not a review of the book, as I haven’t finished it yet and I…

#BookReview: Menaka’s Choice by Kavita Kane
Yay or Nay : Yay for all the new perspectives it gives you on mythological characters and stories. Menaka’s Choice by Kavita Kane is yet another book the author gives you, to intrigue and to make you think. Of what you have known and of what you have been told. Review: Like the previous books of the author, Menaka’s Choice=”” width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ /> gives you the substories of characters in Ramayana that are not spoken much off. Menaka has always been spoken off as the seductress, who broke Viswamitra’s penace. Menaka’s choice by Kavita Kane urges you to see Menaka’s side of the story. The story of love, loss…

#BookReview: Train to Pakistan by Khushwant Singh
Yay or Nay: Yay for sure. A book that speaks to you of the horror, but as any other story. Only that, it’s no fiction! One of classic books to be read. Train to Pakistan! Review: Intrigued, I picked up this book, from my father’s collection, to know, why was this book so famous. A view point of the India-Pakistan partition horror, did the book say who was responsible?I was in for a surprise for sure. Narrating a simple story, not one that revolved around the partition, but a story which had partition as part of it. How, the author, simply explains a situation in a village. But the undertone of it…

Abish Mathew – So glad to have discovered him!
AIB (All India Bakchod) shot to success in 2013, when they entered YouTube and came up with a video collaborating with Alia Bhat. This video went viral and it sure had too. Here was Alia, making fun of herself. These guys since then have given us some pretty amazing sketches and not to forget India’s first ever roast, which we totally enjoyed. More so, we were glad that the roast was sure taken in it’s true sense. (Except a few who were just meaning mental – the case, FIRs and everything else. God knows when they’ll grow up!) Well the point is AIB introduced us to some very talented people,…
