2. List 11 random facts about yourself.
  • Am a bibliophile.
  • I have close to 400+ books at my home.
  • I have a fetish for shoes ( And no I am not revealing the numbers here!!!)
  • I hate liars and I cannot stand lies.
  • I am very punctual and hence hate people who are not.
  • Very meticulous in nature, I need to plan every moment in advance.
  • I am a hoarder as I have 2 boxes full of knick knacks- letters, greetings cards from my 10th birthday to till date, gifts, slam books, etc etc. 
  • The only accessory I am very fond of is bangles - I have them in all colours, shapes and sizes.
  • Though I am an investment banker today, I never intended to be one while I was studying.

  • I love life more than anything else in this world :)
3. Answer the questions the blogger has asked you in the post you have been nominated.
  • Why did you start blogging? 
For the love of writing. I just wanted to write and make a difference through my words.
  • You are getting an all expenses paid trip for two to a place of your choice? Where will it be and with whom? 
All by myself and it will be to Leh-Ladakh on a bike!
  • Dog or cat? And why? 
None, for I have a fear of pets.
  • Half a million dollars for slogging for 6 months year or a week’s peace on the beaches of Bahamas? 
I would prefer slogging for 6 months a year as half a million dollars in bank account always seem more beautiful than the beaches of Bahamas ;)
  • What is your deepest fear? 
Being avoided and left alone.
  • How did you propose your girl/guy? Or how you plan to do so? 
In the middle of the road, going on one knee holding a red rose and a 3-1 DVD of movies - Maine Pyar Kyuu Kiya, Tere Naam, Mujhse Shaadi Karoge !
  • One ‘Ctrl + Z’ moment of your life? Something you want to undo if you had a choice?
Well there are many and it would need a separate blog post to list them down. But on second thoughts I might just leave it like that as perhaps those goof ups have made me what I am today.

Siddharth Malhotra ( Am drooling as I write this too.......!!)
  • One thing that can take you to the ultimate heights of fame? 
Perseverance.
  • Do you follow any sports, team, club or a person? Why this love started?

SHADOW CITY: ALL ABOUT CHILDHOOD, ANCESTRAL ROOTS, HERITAGE, CULTURE AND FAMILIAL TIES

  Namrata explores Kabul through Taran N Khan’s Shadow City which according to her isn’t just about a city . Stories in Kabul begin with the phrase ‘ Yeki bood, yeki na bood .’ There was one, there was no one. Taran N Khan (Shadow City) Taran N Khan’s first book, Shadow City takes us around Kabul highlighting the varied experiences the city and its people have been through over years. It is neither a memoir, nor a travelogue. Lying somewhere in between, Khan has found the perfect voice to depict a place which has been through so much and yet continues to thrive in various ways. Growing up in Aligarh, Khan grew up with a fascination for Afghanistan due to her Pashtun background. After completing her education in Delhi and London, she has now decided to call Mumbai her home for the time being. Her works have been widely published in India and internationally, including in Guernica, Al Jazeera, the  Caravan  and  Himal Southasian . Her writing has also received support from the MacDowell

  Namrata talks about  Anuja Chandramouli’s  latest book,  Mohini: The Enchantress  ( August, 2020) calling it an attempt to paint a fresh image of Mohini in the reader’s mind . “Elusive as a fragment of a forgotten dream, fragile as a figment from fantasy, Mohini is perfection made possible. Distilled from the essence of Vishnu, Mohini the Enchantress is a part of him and yet she revels in the autonomy and extraordinary powers of beauty, magic and enchantment that are hers to wield. She is loved and desired by all in existence and yet, she is elusive tantalizing temptress, traipsing her way across the topsy-turvy terrain of fable and myth.” Anuja Chandramouli Anuja Chandramouli’s Mohini is a beautiful ode to the Goddess of Beauty and Fertility. Considered to be the only female avatar of Vishnu, created by Vishnu and Shakti, this book traces her life through sands of time. As an author Anuja Chandramouli has been known to explore lesser known aspects of different mythological character

OFF THE SHELF: AN ODE TO THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY

  Book Review by Namrata Off the Shelf by Sridhar Balan November 2019 Speaking Tiger Publishing Every book has a lot of people involved in it. Of course, a writer is at the core of it all but once the writer is done writing it, we have the beta-readers and editors who polish it further to make it publishing ready. Furthermore, we have the cover designer, typesetter, marketing team and many others who work on giving it the final shape before we the readers get to hold it in our hands.  Off the Shelf   by Sridhar Balan is an ode to all those people (invisible hands) who work on a book to make sure it reaches the readers in a beautiful package, inside out. Sridhar Balan is a senior professional in the publishing industry with decades of experience in the Indian publishing industry. Having worked with Oxford University Press and Ratna Sagar P Ltd, he has also been a literary columnist with several Indian newspapers. Currently, he is a consultant with Ratna Books, an imprint for translation
