My Review

Kritidhara Pant is an extremely youthful vigorous young lady who is filling in as a movement essayist in a touring publication. From the outside, she is extremely glad to go, sprightly and lively young lady yet nobody realized the tempest blowing inside her.

She was encircled by men all around her life. She has her granddad her dad and her twin siblings. Her entire life is moving around every one of them dealing with them and in some way or another she is in her very own inquiry character inside themselves.

She had a legend in her brain that at whatever point she went out of Lucknow she lost somebody extremely uncommon in her life and her previous experience simply amplifying her fantasy as there are just two cases when she was away and she lost her grandma and her mom during her nonappearance.

She was additionally in an inquiry of her ideal soul mate after parted ways with her past beau. She continuously began drawing in towards her new neighbor yet there is consistently a sensation of frailty in her heart to her towards men.

To realize what occurred next snatch the book and check it out.

The cover design of the book is essentially planned with a pleasant topic and doddle acts. The writing style is decent and has a totally different sort of plotline. The writer attempted to keep it really basic without destroying the genuine feelings of the book. Language is basic effectively justifiable and all the more significant one can peruse it no sweat without coming down on his/her mind. All the characters are well evolved and flawlessly portrayed. The book is gradually paced now and again it seemed like extended a smidgen which at times felt less captivating.

In general, a decent fascinating read.

A self love letter to you, from you, Sunshine :)

Hello Sunshine, How have you been doing these past few days? I know, this is a touché topic to talk about these days but I hope things will get better real soon and we’ll all be able to forget this new normal and will get back to being out older selves with a few changed and better habits that we learned throughout this pandemic. Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right? I heard you’ve been thinking that you’re turning into an emotionless being? That you have no idea what you are feeling and why. Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date? Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...

Let's pour our heart out today!!

People often say, things never come easily to us. We need to work hard and really very hard to get the things in life that we really want to achieve. Often times I think about being a content writer, sometimes a data scientist or maybe a teacher or just staying a reader for life. People say that I've not been doing much in life professionally/ career related because they do not see me growing. I too think about all this many a times because who doesn't? I like to call these kind of days, " Reflection Days " when I sit down with a diary in hand (sometimes not even a diary) and think about everything I have done, achieved, experienced, regret not doing in this whole life or just the past year to be specific. The conclusion that I reach upon is considerably vague because I just cannot reach a proper conclusion to all these things, I guess no one can. Nonetheless, I reach upon the conclusion that I might have not done what my friends are doing or I might not have achieved...
