Hello 2018


Last year, we welcomed 2017 in a historical city, enjoying our holidays and we watched the fireworks from the comfort of our hotel rooms as we bid farewell to 2016 and hello to 2017.  I can't believe that here we are, said good bye to 2017 a few days ago and now into day 3 of 2018.  It can be pretty scary how time goes by so fast.

 This year, we did not travel anywhere at this time of year as we had our holidays in August (Land below the Wind) and September (land of plastic surgery).

 New Year's Eve was spent at home, chilling over a couple of DVDs and munchies.  I did drive out for an errand after the clock struck 12 midnight and while there were cars on the road, somehow it felt like there were less cars compared to years before.

 New Year's day was spent sleeping in and after which did some house clearing and I am on my last book of self imposed reading marathon.  I started this reading marathon towards mid of December 2017 and I think I will end, quite aptly with this tile This Is The Life by Alex Shearer.  




 What do I expect from 2018? Good things! I expect good things and most of all, I want to have a peace of mind and not to mention, good progress of my studies!

 So, 2018, bring it on and let's get going!

An Original Work of Fiction - A Battle Lost and Won

A battle lost and won I’ve loved and lost I’ve loved and won Such is the conclusion I came to in my battle in this simple but  complicated feelings called love. Going back in time to more than twenty odd years ago seems like a lifetime away  but yet, feels also just like yesterday I’ve loved hard and deep and when I let go of that love, I thought my world ended Well, I was wrong.   My world didn’t end.  It was a chapter of my life that came to an end and since then I  have written many more chapters. But time and again, I find myself revisiting that time The time when I thought I’ve loved and lost I was twenty four and he was thirty one I was young and naïve and he was the man of the world I was intrigued by him, he was captivated by me The girl who drank Jack Daniels and knew about war aircrafts  and read about espionages. He introduced me to stuff unknown to me and taught me golf and how to have conf...

Birthright by Nora Roberts

Image
Synopsis : When 5,000-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger and romance. While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project – fueling rumours that the site is cursed. She must also cope with the presence of her irritating – but irresistible – ex-husband, Jake. And when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she must question her own past as well. If you are familiar with Nora Roberts works such as Montana Sky, Carolina Moon, Angels Fall , then you would have an idea the type of story she turns out. They made good hallmark movies out of these books. Nora Roberts also wrote as JD Robb but that’s another story. Birthright follows similar pattern. Callie is the heroine and the story revolves around her with murders, arson, etc. ...
