You and Me

  

I don't know how

We went from holding hands

To Holding grudges

To dreading a moment apart

To dreading a moment together 

To seeing the future together

To seeing a separate dream

To looking forward to seeing each other

To looking forward to seeing others

How it all turned from rainbow and roses

To a dark stormy night


Was it me ? Or was it you ?

Or was it both of us ?

Or was it the distance ?

Or was it the time ?

Or was it the change in our hearts ?

That we both were afraid of 

That we both were aware of 

And choose to ignore.

Red Under The Skin

[This poem was  Judged as Third  in the Poem Competition organized on the occasion of Blood Donation Week-2020, by  BPKIHS Students Blood Donation Committee ]. Red Under The Skin What a strange time we are living in. Can you imagine a time more desperate? A time so morally barren and arid A time where indifference is the norm And humanity is the exception.                                                                                                                                Photo by  LuAnn Hunt  on  Unsplash Where inequality, injustice and discrimination Are as...

The Undisputed Master of Courtroom Thrillers

John Grisham is as good as he is prolific. His numerous foray into the world of courtroom thrillers and beyond have filled up many bookracks. But, thankfully he hasn't compromised the quality of his writing. Year after year, he continues to deliver excellent courtroom thrillers, tying it up with vivid tales of corrupt institutions, corporate greed and the vices of law practices to which any reader would have been happily unaware. Although his first book, A Time to Kill wasn't popular initially, his next novel The Firm brought him worldwide recognition. And finally, his previous works also got the attention they deserved.  Each and every novel of John Grisham are undoubtedly the benchmarks in the genre, but today I'd like to pick my favourite and gush over it a little. Although it is very difficult to single out his best novel from the likes of The Firm, The Partner, The Pelican Brief, A Time to Kill , and so on,  I have picked a favourite. It's The Rainmaker.

The Ekkos Clan and my First Author Encounter

Back in 2014, I was very much into Dan Brown- reading all his books in a spree. As everyone who has read The Da Vinci Code can attest to, once you've finished the book, there's only one thing to do, google books similar to it. And I was browsing through the suggestions google threw at me, one name caught my eye. The Ekkos clan , written by an IIT graduate, was featured in many lists. It's not every day you get to see such names, listed alongside Dan brown . And I got intrigued and started searching for the book details. I found the premise very interesting, a thriller set in Indian Subcontinent that combined ancient history, linguistic palaeontology, mathematics, music and a mystery story. And I set out to search for the book in the bookshops of Kathmandu. Sadly, I couldn't find any that had the book available. And since Indian online portal Flipkart didn't deliver to Kathmandu, I had given up my hope. But showing a daring only 19 years have I emailed the author dir...
