Neeta was preparing her final draft. Today was supposed to be the deadline, and she was stressed. This was the first major publisher she was working with, and she had to meet the deadlines. She had to send a perfect final draft that could not be detected for any loopholes and mistakes- no scope for that. The half-drank coffee had been lying unattended on the table for an hour. No worries, she could prepare another filling.  Raghav was half-lying on the couch, next to her, managing his office from WhatsApp conversations. It had been raining incessantly since last evening, and the entire city had gone underwater, leaving no scope for commuters to travel. So, no other option left for him, other than work-from-home. And that was a lot of work. The entire sales team that worked under him was kept under his supervision at the office. But from home, things were different. He could not really keep tabs on the team, most of whom were now working from home. So, what he could least do was to ...

Being a Gemini is like living a life with a twin. Often, my left brain and right brain start a conversation with each other. Today, on Chocolate Day, as usual, they had something to talk about, so sharing a brief of their conversation: Left brain: Today is World Chocolate Day? What is the song that comes to your mind when you hear the word chocolate? Right Brain: Chocolate, Lime Juice, Ice cream, Toffee-iya, pehle jaise ab mere shauk hai kaha Left brain: What movie does the word remind you of? Right Brain? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Left Brain: Now combine both. Right: Ah...Willy Wonka singing, Chocolate, Lime Juice.... Both: Let's play Willy Wonka today Hello, my dear guests, hope you are doing great this chocolaty day. ( odd pause) Let me take you on a tour of my chocolate factory, aka my blog: memoviesmore.in Interestingly, I don't have any other workers commissioned to build my factory and its contents. I do it all alone, from manufacturing, production, packaging an...

I am grateful to be part of a community of writers and bloggers whose work I get to read often. This year, I had an opportunity to read a few authors, among them. And in this half-yearly round-up, I am sharing 5 Books that I have really enjoyed reading this year.  1. Happily Ever And Never Afters: This book of short stories by Vidya Sanath consists of 16 enchanting short stories, of varied emotions- love, happiness, grief, stigma, remorse and betrayal.  The a uthor  portrays the everyday lives of ordinary people, rich in nuances. Subtle feelings that often get overlooked, certain hurts that are often endured in relationships, are presented in a very grounded form of storytelling. The story, Sorry I Touched Her, sharply highlights the social discrimination of someone based on their marital status, while the story Rebirth drives the reader into a grief-struck couple's life who are going through a rough phase after child loss.  The constant ups and downs of various emot...

It is a miracle how time flies, and it is also very hard to believe that 6 months have already passed in 2026. My year so far has been decent; not much has been happening. I hoped to travel, but it did not function. So, I thought of sharing what had happened. As always, I watched a few Bengali web series this year. Interestingly, a lot of these had very strong female characters, who gain power after going through years of suppression, unfair treatment, and torture. All these web series that I would be writing about have very different plots and characters. They have women from different backgrounds and worlds, from educated careerists trying to climb the corporate ladder to factory workers in a tannery. But one thing remains common in all these women: they have to fight every moment for what they deserve, and that is basic dignity and respect. A woman can only understand another woman's problems, and all these web series have highlighted this fact; here, they partner together to su...

The rains have brought a happy mood back, after a gruelling summer. So today, when I saw the topic "Decision Dilemma" on the Blogchatter Blog Hop, I could only think of a few songs that fit the theme. I often suffer from decision dilemmas. But anyway, today let's not talk about these serious matters and concentrate more on romance and its dilemma (nothing to do with me). Here are 5 songs that immediately come to mind when we talk about Decision Dilemma in Love: 1. Kya Kare Kya Na Kare: If I am not mistaken, Rangeela was the first original Hindi album of AR Rahman, and what an album. Each song is composed in a different mood and perspective in the film. This particular song was picturized on Amir Khan, who was very fond of his friend, played by Urmila, but was afraid to express his feelings to her. Sung by Udit Narain, the song features some amazing expressive tones to convey an indecisive mood, matching the lyrics. Even the lyrics are so effective that they can instantly...

When I received the book, Lost Edges, as a prize for ECM Bloghop's Fam Jam Blog Hop, I was unsure whether I would like to read it. Primarily because just a few days back, I had read a teenage romance book and was not in the mood to invest my time in another. Variety matters for me. But once I started the book, I realised I was about to begin a journey into a very complex world that spans from a couple's teenage years to their late twenties. And I immediately knew I would be invested in it for the next few days.  About the Book Ravi and Geetanjali met on the dance floor in their college. Their friendship began unexpectedly and grew into a relationship. After a few misunderstandings and initial breakups, they reunite after a tragic incident. Finally, they get married, but within a couple of years realise their lifestyles and lives are poles apart. The book traces their relationship through the events of their lives and the decisions they make.  About the Author Salini Vineeth is...
