Twilight Dissing


Twilight. How much do I abhor this word. Come in front of me, I dare you, I can talk hours, hours about it, if you don’t believe ask all my friends especially to all the twilight lovers in our school. I am nightmare to their kind. I haunt each and everyone of them to their sleep till they ultimately agree twilight is rubbish, terrible, revolting, disgusting, trash, vulgar, junk, ghastly, hideous, atrocious, appalling, loathsome, beastly, obnoxious, dreadful, horrible, vile and most definitely THE WORST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ.

Twilight:

“Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife—between desire and danger. Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.” – Goodreads


My Opinion:

As you can see it’s the first time I’ve used someone else’s synopsis of a novel. Can you see the reason why? I wrote the synopsis at least 3-4 times before copying it out straight from Goodreads. Each time I wrote I couldn’t help but writing negative points about it. The only thoughts that kept reappearing seemed inappropriate to jot it down on my blog. So all of you who keep asking me why I hate it so much here are the reasons:

Dissing About Twilight:

  1. Bella Swan: *You’re a soulless git, You moron!* I’d love to meet you someday, oh how much fun will we have! Ha, it’ll be the death of you I swear! In serious mode now: Bell Swan, perfect name, yes. Ordinary girl, no problems with parents and agrees to everything that they do without complaining. All in all she has no personality other then being annoying, irritating and exaggerating her sighs, crying and swooning obsessively over Edward’s hotness. She has no goals apparently and she cant see her future and life without Edward. What is happening to this generation! This is not the 18th century in which women have to be so reliable in men. How can someone be so dependent on a boy? How can someone even change themselves, sacrifice there family and friends never to see them ever again for some pathetically shiny vampire? Ugh, the thought sickens me, I’ve never read a protagonist so selfish. She uses Jacob as a substitute when Edward goes away. When he comes back she marries him leaves Jacob heart broken! There are heights of selfishness Bella Swan. I just wish to say, I HATE YOU!

  1. Edward Cullen: To all the Twigirls out there, would you really like to have an obnoxious stalker watching you while you sleep? Seriously its unhealthy and in a way really discussing. Sheesh! Edward is so possessive about her it must creep you out, if it doesn’t you should truly visit the doctor sometimes. He follows her around 24/7, because he think that if he doesn’t she’ll get hurt. Oh wow Edward your such a savior! Another thing about him is that he has mood swings through out the day, how can someone like him! He’s just so irritably immature for a 109 year old!

  1. Love or Lust?:   Bella: You’re beautiful!
                                      Edward: Oh, Your beautiful too!
                                      Bella: No you’re so good, so shiny your perfectly handsome
                                      Edward: No I think you’re good too.

This is what twilight is about. Think about it, is it love. Why do they love each other? Edwards loves her smell (ugh. GROSS.) and Bella loves his hotness. If Edward truly had ever loved her, he would’ve stayed away from her. And most importantly if Bella hadn’t been an idiot things would have been different. They didn’t even know each other how can they suddenly not live without each other? Gosh these two are brainless.

  1.  Plot: Come to think of it, what is the plot? Is it Bella describing Edwards physical appearance in ever two pages. I think that’s right. That is the plot. Seriously speaking, was the romance between them the plot? No that’s unlikely but that’s what 400 and something pages were written about wasn’t it? And the rest 30 were about her fainting? There was no story. The End.      
  1. Planning: Stephanie Meyer is the most brilliant planner I have ever seen. She’s a genius. I am not joking. In fact how can she make millions of girls swoon over the twilight books? What made me like them when I first read it? Two years ago I discovered the answers after re-reading the entire saga. Bella and Edward have no personality as such which make them stand out. There both plain and dull as ever. Now imagine a teenage girl reading twilight, she’ll put herself in the position of Bella and puts in all her personality into Bella’s character. So now Bella is half dull her and half this very die-hard twilight fan. When Edward comes in , the twilight fan puts her, mixes of all her crushes together and form a super human being who is all in all perfect and has all the traits she wants. Then and there she puts all that personality in Edward. Did you get it? How can you even relate to her! You have to take this seriously because this is what is happening to you right now. Meyer’s a goddamn physiologist!  And its high time you get over it.
Stephanie Meyer

  1. Writing: How well you write! Ooh I want to write like Stephanie Meyer some day! My foot! She cant write. She cannot! When will you people get that. At times, I prefer garbage over her dialogues! How can someone describe a vampires voice as velvet! I am sick of Stephanie Meyer and her Edwards velvety voices! The most ridiculous things of all was that he sparkles. Why Meyer why!? Why do you keep making a fool of yourself? People, the world of books don’t start and end with Stephanie Meyer! If you want to look for young adult novels there are millions of them out there waiting to be read. Books like twilight should be banned from existence.

  1. The New Harry Potter- WTH! How dare you! Twilight will never be the new Harry Potter, because Stephanie Meyer cant write how can you even compare her to JK Rowling? Anyway if you had a mind these are two different genres we are speaking of.  I don’t even like putting Harry Potter and Stephanie Meyer in the same sentence what sort of Harry Potter fan am I?

I don’t see where dissing about twilight will get me. But I sincerely hope it will keep you away from reading this atrocious novel. It could have been built better with talented hands, a bit of imagination which does not include the word sparkle and obviously not the clichéd over used plot.

MuMuksha Bharti Tyagi


At first impression: “She’s really shy”, “Mumuksha should talk more often”, “She’s great but should talk to us more”

We had been in that dilemma for a month, not only us but as well as 36 other students and all the teachers.  Is it the same Molly (nickname) we saw just last month we questioned to ourselves after the summer holidays. The truth was that we had never seen the real side of her. When we saw it, it was the biggest shock we had received that year. Indeed it was the same Molly standing on top of the chair singing Pichhle Saat Dinon Mein Maine Khoya Kabhi Khud Pe Hansa Main, Aur Kabhi Khud Pe Roya! Nana Na Na Na Nana Na Na Na!


Our History:

This time it did not begin in 7th grade and thankfully I was no longer the new kid. All of us had passed to the new class we were now 8th graders. The new kid was now Mumuksha Bharti. I remember saying ‘Hi’ to her and asking her new school, she was very happy that day I had no idea why at that time, but I soon realized that to be happy was her nature. Sneha Nanavati was the first person of our group to actually sit next to her and make contact with her. All of us were too busy in our selves. Slowly we learnt that she was the most intelligent of all of us, she had done IGCSE when were doing CBSE she was a year ahead of us. She kept interrupting the science teacher and asking her questions of higher years. She became a really good friend of Aaryama Somayaji  because they lived near by. Gradually she got introduced to our entire group.


MuMuksha, Me, Vidhi  and Meetakshi!

In 9th, again I hate to repeat it that we got separated. But we never lost contact with each other. She was just next door so met up with her when we both had the same free periods. She is a sort of person who has friends all over the place in every section of the school. She also knows the maids and who knows maybe she also knows the nursery kids too. If you ever walk with her to the school ground or her favorite place, the cafeteria you’ll have to pass through so many obstacles she calls friends on the way. A two second walk will take you 20 minutes. She knows so many people, it’s a miracle she remembers all of them. Another of her habits it to eat a lot. She goes from table to table and eats peoples lunches, its lucky she knows so many people. I remember one day I hanged with her the entire time during lunch period which is 20 minutes, can you imagine she ate 16 lunches. She couldn’t finish all of it that’s why I and Meetakshi had to help her. Trust me it wasn’t that fun, there was too much food.

In 10th the most devastating thing happened, usually I am the one who get left alone, this time it was her who had been separated. I missed her acting, singing making the atmosphere around her happy just with her presence.

Top 5 reasons why I miss you:

5.      You have such a good talent, and your one the best actors out there. I will forever remember that Dolly Bindra act you did. The funniest thing was that all your neighbors came into see what the commotion was about. There were guards present too right?! LOL!
4.      I’ve never seen a person eating so much food and still your so thin. It’s magic!
3.     You’re confused about everything. I’ve never seen a person so confused I’ll miss that!
2.     You make everything so lively. I’ve rarely seen you crying, your so happy most of the time, your either singing most of the time or showing the new acts you keep making. You make everyone laugh.
1.  You’ve helped me so much, Maths, SST dramas and most importantly you been the most supportive friend.

Its my opinion on Twilight, though Molly didn't like it either.  


The Son of Neptune cover revealed!

This is the time of year in which most book covers and small sneak peaks of it are released. Just two days ago the cover of Clockwork Prince was released yesterday The Son of Neptune. These two are the most anticipated Young Adult books of the year.


October 4, 2011, Cannot Wait!

It was surprising when I read from Rick Riordan's blog and tweets that the cover had released and I was even more surprised when I heard that there was also a small sneak peak! Its first book, The Lost Hero a part of the Heroes Of Olympus trilogy is my favorite Rick Riordan Book. The best part of it was that I had brought it for Rs.125 from Daryaganj, besides my fondness for cheap books I loved the depth of the charters, the plot of the story was more developed the its previous books. I cant wait to hear the adventures of Jason, Piper and Leo and I cant wait to see what happens to The Lost Hero.

Clock Prince Cover Revealed!

I know I should not be disturbing my Posts-On-My-Friends-And-How-Much-I-Miss-Them, but the Bookish world has gotten news its been waiting for since forever! Recently I read the entire work of Cassandra Clare. She is an amazing author if your on the look out for Urban Young Adult Fantasy by the way. Recently she started a new series beside the famous, The Mortal Instruments called the Infernal Devices. Which is so much more better then the first series, though a lot of people might not agree with me. Its second book called Clockwork Prince had its cover released today. I had been waiting for it for at least 2-3 weeks!


I am Team Will but I still really like the Jem Cover
It's a really cool cover and it scored really high above my expectation! Its really good but the first Infernal Devices cover was better, just a little not much. Okay, I have to admit I am Team Will thats why I like the Clockwork Angle cover more.

Team Will through and through!

Anyway, I cant wait till the book releases in December 6th 2011. I wonder what happens, Tessa,Will, Jem, the Lightwoods! I hope you write faster Cassandra Clare! To all my followers, I cant wait to write about The Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices either! What do you think, which cover is better, which is not?

Nanavati & Angles and Demons



This book has a long, shall I say unforgettable history with me and Sneha Nanavati. Its started in the beginning of 8th grade. I had just read Twilight, unfortunately liked it and then claimed it was rubbish when I re-read it. (It is horribly rubbish no doubt about that.) I learnt not to trust  books that much and most importantly not to believe that every book I read is really good as I used to before. In a away of speaking I became critical to the books I read. I looked for there weakness and enjoyed debating about them. Then came Angles and Demons, not really came in, it was in my house for more then five years but I was finally allowed to read it. It was my first Adult thriller novel which I treasured while reading.

Angles and Demons:


"An ancient secret brotherhood. A devastating new weapon of destruction. An unthinkable target."

A scientist is found dead in CERN with a  symbol branded right through his chest. He is murdered for his discovery of Anti Matter which is stolen. The batteries of the container containing Anti Matter can last up to only 6 hours or the inevitable will happen. Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is invited to CERN where he is summoned to analyze this branded symbol. The trail leads form one thing to another and soon Langdon and the dead scientist daughter Vittoria Vetra travel all the way to Vatican City where the cardinals are preparing for the conclave to choose a new pope. Langdons discovery of the branded symbol leaves him mystified. The Illuminati. The Catholic Churches most hated enemy. Science and Religion are finally in phase of a war.
My Opinion:

I loved it when I read it for the first time. Somehow, it inspired me a lot. I hadn’t thought of the world in that angle I was usually so caught up with dragon, dwarves and faeries that I never did have time to see the world as it is, or as it is said in Angles and Demons. What I liked about the book was it was fact to fact true something really unusual for me at that time, it was a new piece of literature I hadn’t  bothered with. I liked it so much I talked a lot about it with Sneha Nanavati, she thought it was really fat when she first set her sight to it. But I inspired her with my one key word, ‘Science’. That was the magic word to make her read and there she was flipping from page to another reading it during class, free periods, lunch time at home and on the van.  She loved it, she hung on to every single fact and even researched about it. By the time she reached the end, she called her very first book her favorite book of all times!


Sneha Nanavati's Rating:

Sanskriti Bist’s Rating
Its an extreme a page turner and a great fun read.

Sneha Nanavati


While reading her name she sounds Indian, and if you’re an Indian you’ll say she’s from Gujrat. Well, both of these things are true; but once you meet Sneha Nanavati or at least even glance at her you will notice that she talks. A lot. You rarely see her mouth closed, its always opening and closing. I’ve got the most experience with that gal, you see, I sat with her for twelve entire months back in 8th grade. Though I never complained about it most people asked me how I could even stand it. I replied I enjoyed it. I was truthful, because I miss her blabbering mouth now more than ever.

Our History:

Her 12th birthday was my first day at school. Its not so amazing that that day is so vividly burned into my memory. There was a special assembly for two hours in the scorching heat of July. Gosh, the horror! The western music people were singing that stupid song (no offence) called, “Jesus you're my superhero, You're my star, my best friend!” With there smiley faces and doing there silly dancing actions. It was dreadful,  though I do remember one face that kept appearing through out the assembly, she had an orange shirt on with brown capri’s. Surprisingly back in class I saw the same face again and again. The teachers kept asking her to read and she kept answering their questions. I thought it might've been a birthday treat or something but later on as the days passed I realized she was someone special, a favorite of all teachers even if it wasn’t her birthday.

Sneha Nanavati,we have no photos together,
which is really sad :( 
Dude, dude, dude. Constant body movement and hand throwing. Not to forget the Yo’s ,Jackie Chan and Lionel Messi. If you ever see a girl like this you’ll know its Nanavati. I got to know her the best when I sat next to her in 8th grade. We talked about songs (she was in Western Music like Meetakshi Behal), I made her read novels, and guess what she just completed the entire Harry Potter Series just last week! If I weren’t so lazy, I could have written a whole blog about her when we were back in 8th grade, she is all knowing. But I hope to summerzie her from this post it self and I do hope it will suffice!

Being in 9th, as I have written in previous posts, the teachers split us apart leaving me all alone. The most lonely bit was not sitting next to her, I really missed the way she chattered all the time. It was fun sitting next to her in geography periods because I knew the teacher would never ask me a question as long as Sneha was around. In English she was the only one in class who put up her hand to read and in Social Studies she quarreled with the teacher about feminine inequalities faced by Indian women during the 18th century.  I missed that a lot there was no one in my new class who had enough potential surpassing that of 48 students.

In the beginning of 10th she left the school. Oh, the Irony! She wasn’t supposed to be the one who was supposed to leave, in fact I haven’t even left yet! But then the inevitable sudden transfer made  the circumstances unfavorable in her case. Her dad changed his job and got transferred to Hyderabad. She left in the second week of 10th grade, leaving us all surprised and unfortunately alone.
  
Top 5 reasons why I miss you:

  1. I miss your debating, I love the act that even if you don’t know much about the topic, you keep on expanding your small little points and talk so much about it that the other people grow silent and believe what you say.
  1. You’re exploding with questions. There isn’t a peaceful moment in which there is no question for me. You annoy the teachers with your questions and with out knowing leave us with no studying at all. Thank you.
  1. You’re like a ball oozing with energy. Hyper? Yes, a lot. There are only once in a blue moon opportunities to see you sad, lazy or even in a mood.
  1. You try your hand at every single thing or at least try to learn it. Books, Football, Painting, Dancing, Singing, Debating, Elocution, Poetry, Doge ball (ahem!) god knows what else you can do!
  1.  You’ve been there for me all these years, I wish I could be there for you now.

Meetakshi & Matilda



Meetakshi Behal has never been a book-reader. Most of what she has read and enjoyed is Roald Dahl. Her favorite books are Matilda and Twits. Before writing this, I asked her to choose between the two. She was utterly confused and basically had no idea. Stepping in her shoes I find that I am in the same position as her, for Matilda and The Twits are both equal for me. Randomly, I picked up Matilda and here is my Blog review:

Matilda:

She had horrifying parents who never attended her and was the least loved in the family. Matilda Wormwood was never the favorite child. Her father was a car salesman, her brother went to school, and her mother went to play Bingo several times during the week. Gradually she became independent. And by the age of five she had read everything in her house.


The library was the only sanctuary where she further developed the passion for reading books. She was never appreciated for what she was and then she decided to punish her parents whenever they did something awful to her. After being caught has the culprit of many mischief’s it was decided that Matilda would go to school at Crunchem Hall.

Miss Trunchbull, an evil headmistress believed all children to be warts. She locked them up, made them eat huge heaps of cake and even throw children out of windows by their hair. Miss Honey her class teacher was the only nice adult she could talk too. When Miss Trunchbull is assigned to take over Matilda’s class, she realizes her potential. Matilda has psychokinetic powers which she decides to use for good.


My Opinion:

You’ll never find a person saying, I hate Matilda or I couldn’t even go though the first page. Nope. Not a single soul in the entire planet would say that. The book is that good. You wont even hear a criticism about a single page. That is the magic produced by Roald Dahl.. Its meant for all ages and conveys a powerful message easy enough to catch, even for me when I first read this book back in 2nd grade. Believe in your self cause you are filled with potential. It could’ve been like those self help books but the way Roald Dahl. carries his words out makes it amusingly entertaining for his readers. Its funny, carries a message and inspires you, it’s the perfect must read book.





Meetakshi Behal


Meetakshi Behal and my freind
Vidhi Sharma

There are always people in your friend circle who are really duffer, like me or just outstandingly brilliant like Meetashi Behal. She’s one of those people who is extremely perfect in her studies. You will never see her grade below then A and in a test  there are 99.9% chances that she has gotten a 20 out of 20. In fact, just recently she scored 20 on 20 in a Math test. You can see how perfect she is. She never gets in trouble and there is not even a single teacher in school who doesn’t know about her. She is always there, a little shy creature sitting in the back of the class and getting (god knows how) mind boggling numbers.


Our History:

Well, as you might already know I joined our school back in 2008, when we all were in 7th class. I didn’t know Meetakshi a lot back then. She was always translucent and I have to admit really shy. A few words of communication went between but not enough. All I knew about her was that she was a member of the Western Music Choir and all she knew about me was that I was some new kid from Switzerland. I don’t exactly remember how we became really close friends, the process was gradual and the outcome completely remarkable, that I am sure of.

We had became friends in 7th grade but became even closer in 8th. I found out that she was ecstatic about Video Games and loved The Sims, she loved music and was a huge Scorpion and Simple Plan fan. I also spent some of my math classes sitting beside her, I have to tell you the girl is pure genius in Math. Partly I got good grades when she taught me, otherwise I am sure I couldn't have done it on my own.

In 9th, we were all separated in to three sections, Meetakshi wasn’t in my class, in reality I was the only one in my group which was separated. We made more contact though Facebook because we rarely had time to meet up at school. Her periods weren’t free when mine were and the break time was only 15 minutes. But thanks to the great social networking site, we didn’t forget each other and hopefully never will.

Now that Meetakshi and I are in the same section in 10th ; I feel really bad to let you go when I finally had you.


 Top 5 Reasons Why I Miss You:

5.       I miss the part when Lentheng Sir comes to pick you up from the lunch break, You never want to leave us and attend your Western Music duties, do you? I miss your voice.
4.      You've been so helpful to me, though out the years, I have no idea how I would’ve even passed in math!
3.      Sometimes you re-repeat your stories, but I love hearing them from you again and again.
2 .      You’re a slow poke like me. You don’t understand half of the jokes and the other person has to repeat it for you or explain them to you. Exactly, like me.
1.      You make me smile, at the most awkward, embarrassing or Oh-God-What-Am-I-Going to do moments. Thank you for being there for me.

Aaryama & Brisingr


Brisingr holds a lot of history to me and Aaryama Somayaji. It's the first book that we read together and also Aaryama Somayaji’s favourite. It was also the first book which received the Sanskriti and Aaryama's renowned Book-Opening ceremony.

Brisingr or The Seven Promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular:

Brisingr is the third part of the renowned series of the Inheritance cycle, which consist of Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr and an up coming last novel Inheritance.  

The last war between the Empire and Varden, has made Eragon and Saphira realize they have to desperately revisit their masters in Ellesmera. They know the truth about Eragon’s parentage and their encounter with Galbatorix’s riders, Murtagh and Thorn has made them realize they have no hope of defeating the Empire. Because of their precedent oaths and promises they must help Roran recover Katrina from the Ra’zac’s lair, proceed in helping the Varden and eventually find a way to destroy Murtagh and Galbatorix.


Aaryama’s Opinion:

After the first two amazing books about good things like Friendship, Brotherhood, Relationships, Unity and more ...And bad things like Wars, Battling against extinction and lack of humanity towards other races...And Interesting things like Mental battles with a dragon, Plotting against a crazy king and learning deeply rooted family secrets who could've thought that a person (even someone as brilliant as Paolini) could come up with a better-than-the-prequels and outstanding book. 


Brisingr starts with a promise that Eragon had made to himself and how he wishes to keep it by killing the Razak. It then continues on an epic journey back and fourth the land of Alagaesia which is ruled by the Mad King Galbatorix who holds the last dragon egg. 


The Last three Dragon riders and their Dragons- Eragon and Saphira; Murtagh and Thorn and Oromis and Glaedr- all head out and the battle that takes place is one that will remain forever in the hearts of Paolini-Fans like me. The Story also has romantic parts which seemed missing in the first two books and were long-awaited. This book was, Is and will always be one that I will never forget” 
- Goodreads - Aaryama's Review

Sanskriti’s Opinion:

OATHS SWORN . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide.


These words memorized were by Aaryama Somayaji, when she read this book for the first time. God knows how many times she has read this book by now, last I asked her she was reading it for the 11th time. As you can read, it is her favourite book.

Glaedr made by Aaryama Somayaji!
Brisingr, for me is a mediocre book that could have achieved the heights of success that its prequels had. I am not criticising, Christopher Paolini’s work, in fact he improved his use of language over his other two books. Brisingr, focuses on Paolini’s excessive character building, causing more complexities which eventually made this book longer then he had intended to be. In fact this novel, was supposed to be the last book, but Paolini ended up making this an individual book. At that point I began to realize that [...] maybe the Inheritance Trilogy should become the Inheritance Cycle, and instead of three books it should be four books."

Comparing it to the other two prequels, Brisingr seems useless moreover it would have made no difference with or without it. Nonetheless, I have enjoyed debating, arguing and talking about about the upcoming book with Aaryama Somayaji, and I have had immense pleasure in reading this books with you!

Aaryama Somayaji


To her friends Aaryama Somayaji is the best friend a person could have and to her enemies the worst they foe they could ever receive. Thankfully she is my Best Friend and not the Worst Enemy because you have no idea what she can do. She slaps really hard until you are in a condition to see a doctor and emotionally black mails the other person till they beg at her feet.

I don’t think I should explain her bad qualities which I love, because she will, as you read this, kill me. She has a really good hand. I mean totally amazing you should see the things she can do with pile of junk. All she needs is a pencil in her hand and she can make your trash look heavenly.


Aaryama Somayaji and her group made a T-shirt for a competition,
guess what they got selected!

Her Art work when she was in 9th grade and mastering the
art of Pointillism

Her sketches of birds, she's brilliant at shading.

OUR HISTORY:

It all started back in 2008, when we were still little kids in year 7 wearing two pigtails and following the rules and regulations of our most wonderful Queen Mary’s School. Black hair bands and I-Cards were to be worn and shirts to be tucked inside the skirt above the belly button. But there are some children who didn't follow rules and one of them who stood out was Aaryama Somayaji. Well, she was the only one who wore pigtails but the other rules…well went straight to hell.  

It started out with me as a new kid who had no idea how to write or read Hindi. So here came in Aaryama who wrote her own Hindi work while the teacher dictated and wrote mine too. Then slowly things did start to build up besides Hindi work. I figured I wasn’t the only soul in the class who craved for books and danced classical, I figured I hated the part where she took sides with Nadal and not Federer’s and got irritated by the fact that she doodled more and worked less.

In 2009, we all went up to 8th  grade and thankfully I did pass in Hindi, and we were in the same class. This year, we got closer on books more then we had last year. We read the twilight series and learned to hate them through time and appreciate the wonderful classic of JRR Tolkein in Lord Of The Rings. We went through countless of books that year, we invented the book ceremony and she also ate my lunch and water excessively but I learned to run from her (except only, she is a really fast runner). Aaryama also came up with an idea for her very own personal book this year eventually I helped her out a lot and co-authored her at the end of the year.

When we reached 9th grade we got separated into different sections. We met each other but not enough. Although During our Annual Day we were together and we tortured little children to read Harry Potter and listen to us singing Script songs. Finally when we did reach 10th  we were in the same classes, but this time I am not here for her. Sorry Aaryama L.

Top Five reasons why I  miss you A lot:

Monku Sen,  Aaryama's little cat
5.  I love Monku Sen (aka Ginger)! I’ll miss her adventurous stories and her awfully weired ways. I just hope you guys stop tormenting her, she just a poor little kitty after all.
4.     You are the most creative person I have EVER seen. You live on making mistakes and that’s a really cool Art mantra, though you may not no it yourself. You inspire me.
3.    I will miss our book discussions so much! And our fights with other people when we Shout “You twilighter’s cant say a damn thing about about our Harry Potter!” and they go like huh?..
2.    You are the best Co-author in the world. I keep changing the story and you keep implementing and agreeing with it.
1.   You are always there for me! (I know that this is a rip off) but you are either its on my way to the bathroom, canteen or even my useless SST Project.

Thank you for being the bestest friend on the entire planet. I love you and will miss you always. Forever. (To check out her favorite book Click here- Aaryama & Brisingr )

The Bookish Life Downhill

The bookish life hasn't been reading lately as much as it used to and there are several reasons for it:

1.      Sanskriti Bist has left her school, it is not supposed to effect her reading but in a unique way, for no particular reason it is.
2.      After leaving the school Sanskriti Bist went directly to her Grandma’s place. Unfortunately the only books they had was Who Moved My Cheese and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari (the main cause of my no-reading)
3.      Sanskriti Bist is listening to Panic! At The Disco excessively (while typing this her mind is playing “Mona Lisa pleased to please ya”) and she also recommends to everyone to listen to all there albums, A fever You Cant Sweat Out, Pretty Odd and Vices and Virtues cause they are really amazing!
4.      Sanskriti Bist is currently reading too many books, she does not no what to read first.
5.      Sanskriti Bist’s nail cracked last week, she is feeling a lot of things all together at once.
6.      The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson and What Happened to Good Bye by Sarah Dessen has released and she still hasn’t got them.
7.      All in all Sanskriti Bist is really depressed and misses her friends A LOT.

To reduce my depressed state, I have formulated a plan to keep posting about my friends and there favorite books or the books that we have shared together.
