    So true.
    In Twitter, we know when we have a new follower. But, we are not intimated when they leave.
    Anyway, everyone comes our way for a reason... :)

  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.
