THE Man and THE Evening!

There are certain days that you just know are going to be registered in your memory forever. Today, for me, was one of them.



Tonight I got to meet one of my UTMOST favourite authors; the man who re-popularised thriller fiction through his gripping stories: DAN BROWN. Attending his lecture and hearing him talk about science, religion, literature, books; they definitely were the two most surreally amazing hours of my life! I cannot thank my stars enough that I actually got the opportunity to be in the same room as Dan Brown and experience him share his wisdom, views and knowledge. My love, respect and admiration for that man just went infinite notches higher, because today I got to know that not only is he an immensely talented writer, but also an extremely humble, kind and open-minded human being. Everything he spoke during the lecture, the interview and the Q & A session, was pure gold. This is a night I’m gonna remember for the rest of my life. The Goosebumps cease to calm down.


Thank you, Mr. Brown, for gifting us such an intellectually magical evening, and for reassuring me that writing is indeed the most insanely beautiful thing you can do. <3

Pre-Winter Diaries

8th November, 2014: 

Dad’s Kebab treat and the million delicacies he gifted my taste buds.

Coming back home after excruciating college hours, and Mom feeding me lunch. Dal-chaaval had never tasted better. 

Laughing my heart out at dad’s never-ending gigs.

Drifting into blissful oblivion to the sound of mum’s bedtime stories.

The chats. The peace. The love.

This is what I remember of the past one week.

This is what will keep me warm through the cold winter nights.

This is what will keep me going till I’m Home again.
