Last 100 days of 2024

So Long, India – The Patriarchy, Assault, and Women.

Tragedies of Sylvia Plath, Vincent van Gogh and the May-days

Sylvia Plath and Vincent van Gogh. We want to know so much about their death. But, what do we know about their lives? I guess Vincent and Sylvia might have been good friends if they were to ever meet. I have so much to say about these two.

I never read a book until I was 19 #WorldBookDay || Kinjal Parekh

However I never read. I only acted that I was reading. Maybe at times I read a page or two but I can’t even remember what I used to read or what kind of books were we offered to read.
