*READALONG UPDATE & GIVEAWAY* . @hachette_india has organised a readalong of this brilliant literary piece by Anuradha Roy and I have already finished the first 15 chapters. . "In my childhood, I was known as the boy whose mother had run off with an Englishman" - so begins the story of Myshkin and his mother, Gayatri, who is driven to rebel against tradition and follow her artist's instinct for freedom. . QOTD : Women like Gayatri are meant to sing and dance but not for a limited audience, they are meant to nurture and grow but not within a congested household, they are meant to have an identity other than that of a housewife. Do we fail to recognise the Gayatris living among us, day in day out, losing their real identities amongst the confines of the multiple labels that have been slapped upon them? . Rules to enter the giveaway : - This giveaway ends on 13th June. - To be eligible participants need to answer the QOTD in the comments below and follow @hachette_india on Instagram. - Participants who comment on this post stand a chance to win special prizes from @hachette_india - Indian residents only and above 18 years of age. . The next Sunday discussion will be hosted by @rufusreads . Grab a copy and readalong with us.
What's in my bag? Since I am one of those who dislike putting on too much make up and are too lazy to get dressed in time, I carry my kohl, lipstick and a tiny mirror in my @lavieworld adorable sling bag. And obviously, a book to go, to kill those extra hours I spend while commuting to and from office. Question : Do you carry books around with you? What is that one thing you don't leave your house without? #LavieFashionSquad #FickleIsFun
Welcome to the review of my favourite read of this year so far. I have never shied away from reading books that might make me uncomfortable simply because I feel the reality is worse and if I can’t deal with a fictional form of it, I am not taking responsibility or acknowledging the fact that there are so many people going through the same terror in their lives. Meena Kandasamy’s writing feels honest and fierce. And if you are not comfortable reading such brutally honest accounts of violence then you might want to stay away from this one, although, personally, I would suggest all men and women to read this book. The entire review is up on my blog. Link in bio. Question : Have you read any book dealing with some very serious issues that has made you feel uncomfortable? . . #womensprize #womensprize2018 #womenwriters #femmemarchfest #womenauthors #culturetrip #culturetripbooks
Isn't this book gorgeous? Originally written by my sister @furyofwords : Can you believe me if I say that demons are back? Yes those medieval aged demons, whose tales are still narrated to the children by their grandparents. They are back. Back to conquer the world and spread destruction. Back with greater power and greater intelligence. And they are using us, humans, to accomplish their mission. They are utilising people's greed for power and money. Will Slay, a boy band, be able to relinquish their power? If you had to choose one colour to paint the town with, which one would you choose? (Don't name more than one colour cause that ruins all the fun 😿)
Since I am missing my short vacay trip to Darjeeling, I am compensating with the pictures. I was tagged by multiple people over time to do the #meetthebookstagrammer tag and I have ignored it for too long. So here's 5 facts about me. ☝I love being busy. If I am not constantly working on something impactful or creative, I become extremely restless and irritable. ✌I detest people who create drama around them for no apparent reason, who make fuss and create a scene. 💅I am a crazy coffee fanatic. I can chug down cups of coffee like people chug down beer. 🖖If I find you praising books written by Chetan Bhagat, I will judge you majorly, not unless we are friends. Then I might forgive you that insolence. 🖐I clam up and stay quiet when I am with bossy and obnoxiously loud folks. I have tagged a few of my bookstagrammer friends who I hope would do the tag. Even if I haven't tagged you, you are more than welcome to do it. Question: What are you currently reading? I just finished The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell and have started All The Lives We Never Lived by Anuradha Roy
What Fridays should look like 🤓 Throwback to the time I went to Keventer's and hogged down this scrumptious breakfast with a grand view of Darjeeling. 😻 Question : What's your ideal breakfast look like? (Of course with a side of book)
