Aadita -- Behind the story

You know what's creepy? Writing about curses and feeling like the curse may have come true in reality.

Aadita is a complex novel, one that was written during a dark period and some of it definitely seeped in. A death in the family had made me realize how fragile life can be and everyone I know could leave me. It was scary for me, and I grew disturbed.

Of course, something else was also going on at that point. Something a little personal. In spite of the precautions I had taken, some of those grievances seeped into the story as well.

I can't decide whose character was more difficult to write. Raina had her own problems - being bullied at school and neglected by her family.
Aadita was someone who was suppressed.
These two characters just wanted to be loved. That's what was common between them.

Their struggles to cope and survive in the world was taking a toll on them.

Now, what would you do if there was a way to protect someone could face the same dire circumstances you have?

That, I felt was Aadita's biggest dilemma. She does what she does out of anger but also concern.

Her intentions are misunderstood and as time passes, her anger tales over her completely, making her dangerous.

It is up to Raina to find out the true intention behind the curse and help Aadita as well as herself.

The only problem is, will Aadita listen?

Now comes the curse part behind the story and subsequent publishing of this book.
It was published by Wings press, as soon as the contract was over, I decided to get my rights back. I got a letter of revision of rights, the publisher pretty much took it down on all sites except Amazon.
I contacted Amazon regarding this and they replied they couldn't pull it down because they wanted it to be part of the author's bibliography.
I thought it might just add to the confusion but of course, I couldn't do anything.
Aadita is now published by Club Lighthouse Publishing and of course, when they uploaded it to Amazon they got an alert. Emails were sent to Amazon once again and finally, finally!
Yes, it is now available on Amazon Kindle.

Or avoid all confusion and get it from the publisher's website: Aadita

It's scary, emotional, tragic and happy all rolled into one.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer. Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying. What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
