MAJOR SPOILER ALERT, WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE WHOLE STORY HERE. I just fell in love with this movie, partially because when I watched it, I was mad at societal norms (I still sort of am) and partially because I was an insomniac at that time (which I am not anymore). You can read the... Continue Reading →
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Slaughterhouse five had been on my must read list for a few years, because it earned its well-deserved place in plenty of To-Read lists. I read it last month and have been researching on and off before writing about this review/opinion, but then I realized anything that will be derived from what’s available already kills...

The Fall by Albert Camus
Reading an absurdist can be challenging. When I started reading The Fall by Albert Camus, my thoughts were “this is the shortest book I have” "this is my 2nd book by Albert Camus, I wont regret it maybe..” And then I nose-dived straight into it. The book starts with a self-proclaimed "judge-penitent", Jean-Baptiste Clamence, narrating... Continue Reading →
Review by Dave Williams (Review#20)
Every review makes me emotional and I tear up a little. But this one made me cry. I have been numb for last week or so for too many reasons and I thought maybe it’s good. Maybe for a change I’m getting few anxiety-free days. But my mind was silently struggling in a dark corner... Continue Reading →
World Art Dubai. Part-1
Sam (my best friend) and I have always been artistic souls. She actually won artist of the year in school. So, World Art Dubai aptly called "region's largest affordable retail art fair " was one event we couldn't miss. We actually blind-walked into the whole thing as we wanted the experience to blow our minds.... Continue Reading →
Review by Suzette Benjamin (Review # 18!!)
Who are you people? What planet is this? Where am I?? This review has been gracing amazon page of my book, Swinging Sanity for a week now and I saw it yesterday only. ... And then I was asking all those question mentioned above. This review itself is poetry that made me swell with pride... Continue Reading →
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
If you are not a fan of Sylvia Plath I suggest you skip this one. In few words this book is only novel, a semi-biography written by Sylvia Plath and basically a narration of her downward spiral, covering her suicide attempts and hospitalization. If you know anything about her life and her writing, it’s going... Continue Reading →
Girl, interrupted – Movie
Girl interrupted has been on the must-watch list for a very long time and last night I crossed this one finally. Since it was released in December 1999 and its 2019, and the whole image of mental health has shifted drastically since then, I watched it with a clean slate as a viewer rather than...

The Devil Wears Prada – Movie
The Devil Wears Prada Hmm So I bought this book some 5 - 6 years back. I clearly remember as I got it from an airport. Loved the red on the cover. I don't remember how many words I have read from this book as I bought an overwhelming number of books after that. Well.... Continue Reading →
Suggestion Box
Hey everyone! I am in a fix here..umm..a little.. When I write about books/movies I avoid writing technical details as I assume they are readily available once you hit Google. Secondly I avoid giving story. As a lot readers might not have read/watched it already and this could spoil their first hand experience. I prefer... Continue Reading →
