Books

In your life,

I can be an entire book
I can be an epic tome.
I can be a fast paced thriller.
I can be a lurid erotic read.
I can be a courtroom drama.
I can be a soul wrenching saga.
I can be a frothy Mills & Boon.
Tell me your choice and I shall write that.

In your life,

I can be a short story,
It could have a twist in the climax.
It could have a happily ever after.
It could end in a cliff-hanger.
It could end on a bittersweet note.
It could rip out your soul.
Tell me what you want and I shall type it.

In your life,

I can be a chapter in the book of your life.
It could be the best part of the book of your life.
It could be the worst part of the book of your life.
It could be the most well read chapter in the book of your life.
It could be the least visited one in the book of your life.
Tell me how you want it and I shall edit it.

In your life,

I could be a bookmark,
I could be the feather of an exotic bird,
I could be the picture of your dear one,
I could be a nickname scrawled across a stub,
I could mark a favorite chapter,
I could mark a new beginning,
I could mark a point to be avoided.
I could be caressed often,
Or I could be stuffed inside and ignored,
Or I could be thrown away without a care,

Tell me which one should I become.

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...
