My stories, My way
D is to Dream. Dreams are the first step to define our destiny. When I was young, I was told again and again to not day dream as it is for the lazy. I don’t agree with it. My dreams helped me in defining what I wanted in life. Your dreams do change as we…
B for me is always synonymous with Believe – belief in myself, belief in the future, belief in the world. It always starts there – without a solid belief it is very easy to feel lost in this world full of self doubt and negativity. We are surrounded by news and messages about what is…
It is my birthday month and every year I try to do something different. This year i decided to kick off my blog again and do the #AtoZBlog challenge. There are 26 Alphabets and 31 days in August. So I will be creative for the last 5 days 😀 The title says aptly what I…

I have a lot of feel good books – books that make me feel warm, fuzzy and happy! Most of these books are human stories having a happy ending. There are some authors who write happy books. They are called chick-lit, light, airy books, good for a read on the beach or on holidays. I…
I wrote about my favourite series in my earlier blog. Now let me tell you about my favourite book from the trilogy. The second book The Winter Rose is my favourite. The start of the book is slow. But one or two chapters in, it picks up pace. It is a love story between an…
