How To Get Over a Reading Slump
The reading slump is real. And I think a lot of us are dealing with it these days. I, for one, am finding it difficult to focus on anything. The news has me stressed out and depressed, and if I can apply myself at all, it's to make another cup of coffee as I stare, literally wordless, into the abyss of my half-finished novel, unable to write and unable to think.

Something In The Water
Chapatis are not nice. Anu does not like them and will not eat them. They’re dry, they taste like nothing, they make her thirsty, and her father says she shouldn’t drink too much water on a ship. That she’ll run through the supply meant for the whole crew. He can say what he wants. She’s not eating this chapati.

The Strange Thing About Sugar
I remember being six years old and sneaking into the kitchen to eat hot chocolate powder out of a bowl. It was Cadbury’s, and in those days, it used to come in these purple tins. I’d pop the lid open with a spoon and eat it plain, without milk. I still do that! I also remember the day I drank cough syrup like it was Pepsi, straight from the bottle, because of how sugary sweet it tasted. I couldn’t have been more than five years old. Luckily, nothing bad happened (and I definitely don’t do that anymore), but it really goes on to show how skewed my sense of reason is when sugar is concerned.

5 Things I've Learnt About Myself Since I Started Working Out
I’ve had an up-and-down relationship with exercise. I’ve spent most of my life hating it and resenting myself for not having an ideal (read: highly unrealistic and airbrushed) body. That mixed with an intense sweet tooth always left me feeling scared of working out. The chances for failure were so darn high. I had stints where I spent time at the gym, but I always ended up binging on sugar afterwards, as though to reward myself, and I was always mad at myself for not working hard enough to get the (toxic extreme) body type that I so desired.

Spooky and Beautiful: A Book Review of "Piranesi" by Susanna Clarke
Piranesi's house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house.
