You are supposed to be coronated the Queen of Agni but there's evil lurking who wants to reign the four Tatvas for himself.

A well known Japanese proverb says a human has three faces: the first face you show to the world, the second face you reveal to your close friends and family and the third which you don't show to anyone and that is the truest reflection of who you are!

If we believe this proverb to be true, then I think I can very well say humans are an insecure species. Humans are insecure of their flaws, they fear to be judged.

We have exploited Nature so gravely that it's denying us from the little joys.

Look up at the sky! Do you see the complete blackness? It was once lit with the twinkling stars!

So, hey! Let's wake up from our slumber and and act before it's too late!

After a day so long and tiring, isn't it a blessing to retire with this view and a cup of hot coffee!

What do you do when your heart is in a dilemma? When it desires something so aggressively but it also knows the hurt and sorrow it might bring along.

Which path am I to choose?

People can be toxic, friends can be toxic, your own parents can be toxic.

This is life! It's true that it's a roller coaster ride! Not a single soul here has time or the patience to understand the adversities you're facing. All is good when you smile and be the way they want you to be. The moment you express the turbulence you're facing inside you're the bad guy, the elfish person.

Even the law has given the people of this country to express but the one's you hold dear haven't given that boon to you.

The dark midnight sky, the twinkling stars and the dimly lit moon. Isn't it the perfect picture for us literature loving souls?

Imagine walking at shore, the waves crashing by, a gentle breeze blowing and a dimly lit sky!

Add it to your bucket list, you'll be mesmerised by the elegance of this beautiful solitude.

Oh Man! Where shall I even begin!

So, I started reading this book last night (18th September 2020) at around 11:30 PM and I finished the book today, 19th September at 6:00 PM.

You see the duration it took me to finish the book? Yes! I finished it in a jiffy. I couldn't put the book down till it was finished. I was hooked! I was in love! Do I need to mention that I read through the night and sleep deprived myself. *Grins foolishly* 

From the very first page I knew that this book is going to haunt me for numerous days!

This book is definitely a journey, a frightening journey which no human would want to ever experience. I felt the horror, the emotions, the love, the torture, every chapter threw at my face. I embraced the pain, suffered through it. I cried, I cooed and I cried some more. It was exhausting and exhilarating at the same time!

Exhausting because I wanted the pain, the terror, the sorrow to end!

Exhilarating because I was engrossed, engulfed by the turn of events!

This book is not for the light hearted. I couldn't contain my emotions, my heart crumbled after the journey ended..

Do I regret reading it? Absolutely not! Given a chance I would read it again. I would wanna be a part of the journey again! I would gladly embrace the fear and let it go once the story ends and later reminiscence about them.

This book is haunting! But I would love to be haunted again!

The most interesting project of my life was not a professional project related to my domain. It was rather a passion I wanted to pursue along with the work I am currently doing.

So, let me begin by saying that I have tremendous appreciation for literature. I am indeed an avid reader and I am definitely fond of writing. One fine day I decided to write a story of my own. You see, I am enticed by fantasy genre so I decided my first story will definitely be a fantasy!

I had the story in my mind, the difficulty I faced was executing it step by step. World building was the biggest challenge trust me!

To conclude, I had numerous impediments and I still face them as it's an ongoing project. But I am sure once I finish writing it will be one of my biggest achievement for myself at least.

It is said that our planet is created of five elements...Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Ether, which is indeed true. If you look around you will find the amalgamation of these five elements in every object surrounding us on this planet. Even the human body is composed of these very elements.

 In ancient times, when there were no religions, our ancestors prayed to these elements. They were the Gods, who protected them from the evil. 

Elements have always intrigued me; the power they withhold is astonishing. We need these elements to survive and yet these very elements can be the cause of our destruction! Isn’t it fascinating?

These fantasies give me a break from the real world I live in. In reality you do not get to live the happy fairy tale ending you are looking out for so I indulge in to my imagination. I let my mind run wild! And when I am back in to the reality, it doesn’t really look that bad.  You may call me grotesque, but that is how I am and any person out there who has mind just like mine would agree to me, won’t you peeps!
