I sleep better when I have a good book to read. I simply can't fall asleep without reading. My daughter too wants to be read to before she dozes off. She tells me she'll have bad dreams otherwise! When I don't have an interesting book at hand or on my e-reader, even sleeping becomes just … Continue reading The Woman on the Orient Express- a Book Review

My Reading habit and Book Reviews
Most of the time, I don't finish the book I begin reading. There... I said it! A fancy cover or a good review prompts me to pick a book, but a few pages in, I lose interest or the plot is too scary or sad or something, and I just set it aside and grab another. I … Continue reading My Reading habit and Book Reviews
Big Magic – a Book Review
A lot has been said about "Big Magic", written by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat Pray Love". I found the book so compelling, I HAD to share all the things I learnt as I read it.... Big Magic is a book about a touch of Magic and a ton of hard work. I wonder why … Continue reading Big Magic – a Book Review
The India I love – a book review
The Bhagirathi is a green river. Although deep and swift, it has a certain serenity. At no place does it look hurried or confused- unlike the turbulent Alaknanda, fretting and fuming as it crashes down its boulder-strewn bed. The Bhagirathi is free-flowing, at peace with itself and its devotees. At all times and places, it … Continue reading The India I love – a book review
The Palace of Illusions- Book Review
Any writing terrifies me (But I still write, because it never fails to perk me up after I hit "Publish"!), but writing about "The Palace of Illusions" has so far intimidated me! Even as I write this, I know I will fail to do justice to this outstanding book. Still... I want to share my … Continue reading The Palace of Illusions- Book Review

A Pig in Provence- Book Review
I finally read a whole book! It had been so long since the last time I did. And nothing beats the satisfaction of having finished a book or a Blog post. Really! The book, "A Pig in Provence", is written by Georgeanne Brennan. It's a memoir about the American author's life in Provence, her love … Continue reading A Pig in Provence- Book Review
Summer and the City
This book (written by Candace Bushnell) was the perfect pick-me-up I needed this sweaty, sweltering summer after the giddy excitement of my sister's Wedding. It made me zoom through chores and kids' story-time so that I could curl up and read ("Why are YOU reading for so long?", my daughter kept accusing me as I … Continue reading Summer and the City
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
I loved reading it. It is not a thriller or a mystery, yet I found myself speeding through it, yearning to know what happens to the central characters in the end. It is about a girl, Cather, a year in her life, starting College, her family, her new friends and her love for writing fan-fiction.... … Continue reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
