Book Review: A Velocity of Being

January 31, 2021January 31, 2021 ~ Deepika ~ Leave a comment

The dawn of our fast friendship was also a peculiar point in culture.

Book Review: Heartburn by Nora Ephron

January 31, 2021February 9, 2021 ~ Deepika ~ 2 Comments

ஓடும் நதியின் மேலே
உட்காரும் தட்டான் போலே
லேசாக அமர்ந்தே பறப்பேனே
புவிமேலே...

- கார்த்திக் நேத்தா
