The mess life of a writer is…

This is where I start crying... I thought I should resume work on my second book which was in selection and editing phase simultaneously…at least the last time I checked… But now, when I opened it after half of an eternity, I don’t even know what I’m looking at. Is this my manuscript? like…what happened?...

Pulling an all-nighter

Pulling an all-nighter because desperate times call for desperate measures. It seems like I am stuck on selection process of poems for at least a decade. No matter how many of them I delete I always end up with a lot more than the final count. I’m trying to pick best of the best pieces...

Self-publishing Ramble

Goodness my days of wanting to throw my laptop at the wall has started I never could do it because..expensive and honestly this is my most precious possession. After marinating my manuscript with my barely blank stares, the engines started rolling today! Thank God I don’t do this for living. Yesterday I made a very...

Back to Business

Let’s get back to business..because we are doing absolutely no business. Finally! found an opportunity to use that.

Ungrateful, Aren’t We?

Laptop: Damaged people are dangerous, they know they can survive. Me: What are you gonna do? Set me on fire like you haven’t burned my thighs enough? Start panting like you do when I open 500th tab?? Or embarrass me with autocorrect just because I suck at spellings? (Never won a single friggin spellathon). This...

Eternal Monotony

Title sounded like a philosophy is going to unravel inside but let me apologize in the prologue. Philosophies and I share relationship that works on reciprocation and by now hilariously predictable. We both keep failing each other simultaneously. Whenever I see a victory based on chance, my brain says “no chance” and my mind doesn’t...
