Last night I happened to watch this movie - SEARCHING. I was blown by this movie. It is a thriller and a very nice movie.
A happy couple have a daughter. Father has the habit of recording videos of events that take place in his daughter's life and saving them on the computer. When the daughter comes to high school, the mother passes away with cancer. After about two years, one fine evening, the daughter goes missing.
The actual story begins when the father begins his daughter's hunt.
It is a beautiful story of how the father starts the hunt and what better place to begin than the Computer.
Will be able to find his daughter or not? Please do watch to know the story.

1. Practice the art of concentration
2. Don't give up
3. Train your mind
4. A few games to help
5. Meditation
This is it for now! Hocus Pocus!!

The plot is small, so is the movie. It's about two hours. So there is no unnecessary stretch. Watch it, if you can!

I have known my Bestie or must I say BFF - Ani, since our 11th Std. We have practically known each other for half our lives. We have grown together. Now, when I look back, I truly feel blessed that I have someone with whom I can share it all.
We have made it a mandate that we shall talk everyday and we connect on various topics that we discuss most days. And, we both know that we are just a call away.
The feeling that we can pick up our phone and start a conversation. It's essential to have one such bestie that you have all grown up with.
Here's to my Bestie!!!
I was at a bookstore yesterday. Just browsing books, but with an intention to pick up a book definitely. The joy of walking in a bookstore is in no comparison to anything else. I can spend hours at the store and I do it with no qualms whatsoever. Nothing was any different yesterday.
Yesterday, I happened to spot - The Arabian Nights - Volume 1 and it had been such a long time that I had read this book. So I picked it up with sheer excitement to start reading.
This book is my next read and any book to onset a new journey comes with tiny butterflies in my tummy. They are already fluttering inside, while I finish my current read and start the next read.
Last week I received an email wrt a Writer's Workshop being conducted today. I love any meet that happens involving writers. So I just had to sign up. Not only did I sign up, but I signed up my mother as well to accompany me.
So, both of us went along to this two hour workshop. It was conducted by Madhumita Bhattacharyya. Out of curiosity, I signed up and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. She turned out to be pretty fabulous and a lovely orator. I enjoyed the session.
She is the author of,
1. The Masala Murder
2. Dead in a Mumbai Minute
3. Goa Undercover
4. Murder at the Temple
Now, I have lined up these books to my reading list.
A few days, I caught with my classmate from school. she is my oldest friend. Have known her since my High School. And, it is always lovely to catch with her. We usually catch up near school and sit and chat up for a long time. But this time we decided to do something slightly different. We walked into our School. After all these years, both of us went inside the majestic gates of our school. It felt like yesterday we were walking inside school deciding what we would all be when we passed out of school.
We saw our high school class rooms, our auditorium, the basketball court, our quadrangle. Clicked a few pictures for memory sake. It's the same beautiful feeling even after all these years to be back in school, even though we were just visiting.
No wonder, it is said, School Days are the Most Golden Days!
GOT - GAME OF THRONES - aired its last episode on Monday. It's the end of an epic series. I must say I am so disappointed that there is no more GOT. I so shall miss it.
But I didn't like the ending at all. I did not expect Daenerys to just die like that. Jon Snow doesn't get the Iron throne either. But the chain got broken. Bran Stark gets on the throne and becomes the King of the six kingdoms.. Sansa Stark gets her own kingdom and Arya Stark is off on her own search.
With that, GOT is done and dusted! I am going to miss it like the millions in the world.
My aunt, who happens to be one of my closest ones, was in Scotland for a month. As usual, like always, very lovingly she asked me what I wanted. Shamelessly, I said I wanted a bag.
She just returned from her trip. I had gone to meet her today, and lo behold, she got me such a nice bag. Its a beautiful blue and pink tote. Pink is one of my most fav colors and she of course knows it. But what is to be appreciated is the thought that goes in picking it up.
Of course, I will flaunt it and of course my aunt is one amazing woman. Not because she got me a bag, but she is extremely dear to me.
P.s: Something similar to my bag, not the exact one!
