Listening to this awesome anthology audiobook... Strongly recommend to all psychological thriller lovers!!!
Ganesha- Uncommonly Unique
Born out of the shedded corium
Yet born out of my mother
My sire shunned and cursed at first
Cronus depcapitated me
With pachyderm head on a humanoid frame
An outcast with uncommon form
I looked like none
But my atypical physique
Is what I am known for
It is my strength for I am unique
Progeny of the primal celestials
I hereby come to bless you all!
Finished this audiobook a while ago... And I feel my thoughts and pulse racing.... A must-read for all book dragons who seek out thrillers especially the psychological kinds, a very different kind though....

HAPPY MOTHERโS DAY!
That time of the year when the air
Will is filled with strains of celebrating mothers
Songs of their unconditional love
And affection will supersede all others
I rack my brains and tilt my head
Thereโs a problem that needs to be solved
Everything is so nice and loving but..
Why is there always a weeping involved?
May be coz of all the sacrifices
And keeping the kids first always
Supposedly the rule for moms since dunno when
But itโs time for us kids to mend the days
I know mine would be tearful too
When she reads my limerick
Even though itโs an attempt to make her smile
Smile she would but with a sniffle flick
So I declare this Motherโs Day
Letโs let Moms be human for once
Letโs vow to make her make time
For herself without feeling dunce
Let the emotions of moms be happy
And feelings of moms and kids roll in laughter
I love to laugh with my mom
Should be our motto forever n after

As the sun goes down on the last evening of 2021, I stand reckoning what a year this has been.... The days were spent in the penumbra of the pandemic.I remember there was a time when each time the phone buzzed I used to jump out of my skin, what now, whom is it about now... Yes, like many others, we too lost some loved ones... The emptiness of their loss still tugs the heart strings while the heart prays in gratitude for the close ones who are there with us, hale and hearty... Anxiety was surely on peak on hearing stories of despair about people losing lives over lack of oxygen; and yet humanity survived, the heart warmed by stories about complete strangers coming forth offering help. I wish and pray that the humanity remains, long after the pandemic is over and done with, I hope we keep the flame of brotherhood alive. Hope this year would be better than the last, hope the heavens grace benisons upon us and our kindered. Here's to new beginnings! Wishing everyone a wonderful 2022!
Let the spirit of Christmas bring cheer to the otherwise misty times of this December...
With a prayer in my heart and hope in my eyes I wish you all a
Merry Christmas โ๐
Watched Sense and Sensibility (again, for the umpteenth time!) after a fairly long period of time...and do I feel good! One of my go to or should I say, comfort movies of all times... Such amazing performances by Dame Emma Thompson, Allan Rickman, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant and Greg Wise. And oh the charm of the English countryside as the backdrop!! I am all starry-eyed!
May the festival usher in new hope, new aspirations, strength, and prosperity.... May the love of kith and kin prevail! ๐๐ป

The chill in the air has come in a little early this year, and it's that time of the year again...Yes, the pandemic has made things different but let's not dampen the festive spirit! So here's to a wonderful life

A birthday is announced!๐๐๐
Feeling awesome on the birth anniversary of one of my all-time favourite authors - Agatha Christie.
My suspenseful, thrilling and curious bent of mind๐ต๏ธ is definitely the result of reading umpteen number of her books. Written in such an impeccable manner, one feels as though one is actually amid the suspenseful circumstances in her mystery set up.
Today I wish I could one day write like her and have my own set of books! ๐๐๏ธ๐ค
As we take steps forth in life, we realize that a strong foundation helps build a strong and stable personality. Our wholesome being that we portray to the world is the culmination of the efforts put into shaping us by our teachers - the ones who gave birth to us, the ones who educated us and everyone from whom we learnt just about anything... So a loud cheer and shoutout by expressing gratitude to all my teachers (my parents being the first ones!) for making me what I am today! Happy Teacher's Day!!
