April 22, 2019

The moment she stepped out in the Balcony to relish her Coffee on her favorite Jute Swing, she was welcomed…

I am a loud and proud Feminist…not a man-hater

December 31, 2018

I have started writing this post so many times but stopped myself as I didn’t want to portray myself as someone who hates men. I was not finding the right words to explain my views in a non-biased way. But now I gained the confidence to express myself rather than worrying about how the world takes it.

Superstitions! How you make them work?

October 25, 2017
