Happy Independence Day to all fellow Indians!
Keeping with the theme of 15th August, here’s a six word story:
Cheers to India’s freedom and glory!
A very Happy Independence Day to my fellow Indians 🇮🇳🤩. It’s been 75 years of independence for our nation, and I feel so lucky to be a part of this country. I hope India gets all kinds of success in the coming years, and its citizens bloom and bring pride to our motherland!
Hi everybody!
There are many things that are full after my birthday: my heart, my capacity to eat cake and the best of all… my TBR!
I have a bunch of books on my list, but I can’t read any of the right now, because EXAMS. (I can’t read new books during exam preparation and exams. 😭😭)
But my TBR is one of the things to look forward to after exams.
My TBR is:
WOW I’M SO HAPPY THERE ARE SO MANY BOOKS IN MY TBR!
Keep reading!
Cheers,
Snigdha
(wow this was a short post.)
Hi everybody!
Sorry for not writing since more two months… 😬
I’ve had a lot going on. So we’ll catch up on that, first.
My summer vacations ended on 14th July. During my holidays, I went to a few places in South India! It was super fun. Then I got a library membership on 27th June. So, so happy with that. And school started all too quickly…
But I read a lot of books during my holidays! Here are the reviews of some:
1. Faces in the Water: A book on female infanticide in India. Ranjit Lal wrote on a highly repressed topic of Indian society with great sensitivity. Definitely worth a read. ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑/⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑
2. Karna’s Wife: This book is told from the point of view of the Mahabharata (an epic from Hindu mythology) character’s Karna’s wife, Uruvi. To be honest, I never thought I would read such a book. The author, Kavita Kané, executed the idea perfectly. ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭒/⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑
3. One of Us is Lying: If I had to sum up the book in one adjective, it would be: mind-blowing. The characters are cliché, but the unusual thing is that Karen McManus did is openly acknowledge it. And made it a bit more unique for me. And the ending left my jaw hanging. If you haven’t read it, you definitely should. ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑/⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑
4. The Bone Sparrow: This book tackled a topic I’ve never read about: the lives of refugees in camps. The special thing: It was told from the perspective of a nine-year-old child named Subhi. Zara Fraillon gracefully fuses the two different lives of Jimmy and Subhi into one beautiful and crazy adventure. ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑/⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑
5. The Hunger Games: OH. MY. GODS. I AM ABSOLUTELY MINDBLOWN. This book beautifully describes every single place Katniss is in, what she’s wearing and what she observes. And the storyline, oh my gods. I got absolutely addicted to this book. So much that I stayed up till 1:45 a.m. finishing it. That might not seem much to you, but it is a lot for me. 😀
Since my birthday was yesterday I got a ton of books:
And I’ll be getting a bunch more:
I am soooo excited to read all of them!!
I’m so glad I finally wrote!
Cheers,
Snigdha
Hello everyone!
This is a special post written to a special friend
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST SNIGDHA.
You make every single day a gift to me and help me be a better person
I want to point out today that I often call her Didi (Which is elder sister in Hindi) because of how mature and kind she is
You have always been on my side
Even when I was crying over the death of a few characters in P.Jo you were with me
When I was stuck in between choices, You helped me
No matter what you were there, Like a true friend
You may be Socially awkward, but a very talkative person to people you know and love.
We kept a small party for her in the class where my friend SH baked her a cake, Me and my friends Ansh and Pahal organised a small gift, card and cake cutting ceremony and Snigdhas reaction to this was priceless
I hope we stay like this forever and enjoy this memory
Happy birthday once again dear!
*Virtually hugs* And that’s 23 hugs 🤗😘
