2nd Novel: The Guitar Girl 


Back Blurb:

Sixteen year old Rhea Shah never thought that she would find herself falling for her brother’s best friend, Joy Fernandez, when they come home from college. Because she never thought that the dork who used to go to school with them would suddenly reinvent himself in college.

The only people she’s able to talk to about her absurd crush, are her best friends, Sophie and Arjav. Both of whom at first encourage, and then almost blackmail, Rhea to confess her feelings, which leaves the poor girl more muddled than ever!

Plagued with upcoming Board Examinations along with her friends’ suggestions, Rhea finds it difficult to concentrate, because she’s fallen for Joy, hook, line and sinker. In an attempt to vent to her feelings, she begins a blog, where she publishes all her songs and poems, dedicated to Joy, keeping her identity a secret.

But things do not go quite how she planned when a certain blogger named J. Fern begins to read her blog, and wishes to work with her…
Will Rhea ever confess her feelings to Joy? And will Joy find out the real identity of The Guitar Girl?

IndiVine Post: WeChat with Anyone, Anywhere

If you could connect with 5 or more people in a WeChat group - who would they be, and why? What would you talk about? The people can be dead, alive or even fictional.




 I still remember the time when I was a kid. International calls to relatives was a very well-thought out and planned affair. When my sister left to pursue her PhD in Singapore, I remember having to get myself calling cards in order to just make calls to her. But now thanks to WeChat, it is possible to send her voice messages, pictures and texts (obviously) in an instant. Long live, technology!

Having said that, if I could connect with five or more people in a WeChat group, my choices would be as random and as diverse as they come.

1) I would love to have Mr. Ruskin Bondas one of the people on my list. I've admired that man since I was barely twelve years old. Rusty, in fact, had been my first crush in school. Ruskin Bond has undoubtedly been my all time favorite writer in the world. The vivid descriptions have always …

Poem: A Birthday Acrostic

Image
I wrote this poem last year, because I never thought I wouldn't be sending it to the person it really is for. I know I didn't wish you this year...well, not to your face. But well, I kept thinking of you throughout your special day. Happy Birthday, anyway. 



I know you don't really
Look forward to this day, and,
Over the year, I realize there's nothing
Very special about it either.
Everyone calling, posting and wishing
You. And you smile through it, say, "Thank you".
Once, twice, thrice....I have stopped counting now.
Underneath the stars, where I know we'd once lay...
Arms around my shoulder, and head resting peacefully,
Rolling around, laughing, and simply enjoying life.
Going the distance, if need ever be, and then I'd say, softly,
Happy Birthday. To the most amazing person I've come across.
On your special day...may all your wishes come true.[ Figure out this poem, too!!]

Musings: Constants

Image
I might be known as the person who constantly thinks about people about leaving. As the person who believes everything in life being temporary – after all, aren’t we all waiting for the next best thing? In a world where the only constant is change, how do you find your people? How do you find your tribe? How do you find the people who vibe well with you? Who not only put up with but celebrate your crazy? Figure out ways to keep your crazy in control? How do you find your true soul mates in this world of 7.5 billion people?
Honestly, there is no easy answer for this. The one easy thing about this rather complicated question is that soul mate does not necessarily have to be your boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife. As one of my constants recently pointed out to me, soul mates can be your best friends too. Friends you share completely platonic relationships with.
I got lucky that I found my tribe in college. Literally on the first day of college, I met my mother’s namesake. Our friendship…
