Old Scribblings & Fresh Smiles!

Image
The end of the year is approaching, and there are few pages left in my diary. Something right's happening, no? It's unusual because despite wanting to, I have never been  a person to start a new diary in the beginning of every year (this year I will :D) as a) I am  was not a person who writes regularly, b) or who is organized enough to keep one diary at a time or c) somebody who would actually take up the same diary she has kept for random (and sometime thoughtful) scribblings and write at the back of  any notebook or on a random paper, yeah this is my laziness. Worse than that, you'd never find my diaries neat, of course I'd never show it you! :P Diary, pen, marker and a better  phone :P Clicked more than an year before! My last diary, the one which is almost finished (I am already not calling it my "present" diary :P, I am actually excited to start a new diary in the new year. Yeah, imagine a kid writing this post :/ ) is of 2011, in which...

Loved the message I got!!

Sometimes, you do something all impulsively, not knowing what to expect! As a new book-lover (Ya! U may call me that), I was very keen on meeting an author, getting books signed and just attend a reading session. Frankly, I was waiting for Preeti Shenoy's book signing event to be held in Delhi. But when a blogger Friend asked me to join her on one of her favourite author/person's book-signing event, I gladly accepted. One for the reason I told you above, Second I hadn't read the book of that author but I have read her articles of course. (Well, who hasn't?) and third I wanted to meet people I met through blogging. It was lovely meeting You , You and You !! Hoping to see you all in the blogger meet too!! Well, Since I didn't have the book, I purchased it right there in the store so as to not miss the opportunity of getting a book autographed right in front of me. Yes, I am behaving like a kid but I admit I was excited!  The author turned out to be a war...

A Not-So-Secret-Wish-List

Image
Preeti Shenoy has come up with   'Wish list Wednesdays   under which every Wednesday till January, there will be a creative prompt. The first creative prompt is: The three things I badly wish I could have are..................................    So here's my  Not-So-Secret-Wish-List # A good collection of White Kurtis, White shirts and Blue jeans.  Every time, well call it destiny or whatever, I have only one white kurti at one point of time. This time its even cruel that the one I have is not much of my choice. I purchased it as I wasn’t able to find any other, Partly because of my laziness.  Well, I am not very particular with regard to my wardrobe but I usually don’t get what I want. But this is one thing I am serious about now. :P # Atleast one Novel published to my credit. Well, why think smaller? I want a no.of novels published to my credit. I think the first book requires most of hard-w...

Just to share!!

I am not a painter and I am not  being mod est when I say that! But there are two paintings I wish to share here and I am sharing it. I did these two paintings back in may. I couldn't do the images I had in my mind but still this is a painting that does capture something. I didn't realize while doing it, I just wanted to fill colors into something for it was de-stressing me. But after a few days when I saw it again, It said something. Somewhere I feel this painting very well captures the mood of my poem  Emptiness , Although I composed  Emptiness  long back and ofcourse I have overcome that emotion. Still Read the poem  Here . This painting I did just because I wanted to paint something. And ofcourse I couldn't go beyond the waters, grass, sky and a rock. This image was in my drawing book when I was in seventh standard so I re-drew it from my mind. (c)2012 Priyaa Arora

Book Review- The Bankster

Image
GoodReads  says: The uneasy calm in Greater Boston Global Bank (GB2) is shattered when a series of murders rock the façade of the compliant and conforming bank that GB2 has built up over the years. Who is to blame? Who is driving these intriguing and bone chilling murders? What is the motive behind these gruesome killings? No one has a clue. Back-Cover of the Book says: Bankers build their carrers on trust, or so everyone thinks.  Bankers build their careers on trust, or so everyone thinks, till a series of murders threaten to destroy the reputation that the Greater Boston Global Bank (GB2) has built over the years. Who is behind these killings, and what is their motive?  When Karan Panjabi, press reporter and ex-banker, digs deeper, he realizes that he has stumbled upon a global conspiracy with far reaching ramifications a secret that could not only destroy the bank but also cast a shadow on the entire nation. With only thirty-six hours ...

Three In A Row :-)

5th October 2012  Oh my God! This was day of coincidences man!!...and you know what?? All Good. I mean it got better and better. Second one was better than first and third was better than second. This was a day my friends had planned and I had all reasons to avoid it.  Firstly I said I might not get permission. Then I got permission. We were planning out details over Fb chat and it struck me that it was a good friend's B'day. I refused once again but then I chatted with the Bday gal and asked if she had got some plans. She hadn't as she has exams next month. I again agreed. Then I couldn't sleep till 4 am. I messaged my friends at 4 that i cant sleep, wont be able to make it tommorow and blah blah blah. Morning, very unusually, I got up at 8, I had messages in phone from my friends. I talked to them. Eventually I agreed though I wasn't feeling well. But it was totally worth it and I loved what happened. No.1: I reached ...

Shopping at a click!!

Image
You know what? If you are reading me today here, that’s because of online shopping. Really!! Confused?? Well yes! My story of online shopping started in February this year w hen I completely lost my interest in that 10 to 7 accounts-tax work! On week days it was “Get up-office-comeback-sleep”, On Sundays, it was “sleeeeeeeeeeep”. That was when I found peace in reading books that I used to borrow from a colleague ( I used to read sometimes in office time also :P ). Books that were different from the few college life romances I had read till then . And I started to enjoy reading. After I left my office, I was sure it would kill me to sit idle at home the whole day. And I wanted something new. A hobby may be. And what better than reading Books? But the fact is I hate going to shopping! At least at that point I used to. :P and there was no shop nearby which sells novels. At least which I wanted. Only academic books you see! That was when a frien...
