L is about ladies and love and life with lots of good reading. L brings to you my very favorite and beautiful Jhumpa Lahiri. Yes, I am a big fan and am cursing myself for still not having finished reading The Lowland still. She shares space with another lady whose writing has so much heart …
I again use both first name and surname for this alphabet. Khushwant Singh is in K because S is such a common alphabet that there is a big war going on there already. Yes, choosing authors for S is difficult because I am spoilt for choice! For K today I have 4 authors yet again …
Today’s alphabet is “J” also took a lot of searching before could finally zero in on the authors. When I had found one and was floundering to find the author that was also very popular with the masses, I found Madhur who is not just a writer but a ‘jane of many talents”! She had …
H brings to fore three very diverse writers. On one hand, I share writer, journalist, and serious novelist Indrajit Hazara. Followed by my favorite and my inspiration Simmi Harshita who writes in Hindi so should not be on this list but I tweaked it a bit! Not to be left behind is the third author …
I always thought that finding an author with the alphabet F would be fairly fun and fast but as I discovered, it was not quite so. To my desperation, I finally succumbed to mixing the first name – surname of the authors. I had thought I would be able to hold on to listing authors according …
The 4thletter has inspired me to try and encompass as many authors as I can find for the alphabet. So I think it was destined that I talk about 4 authors today. So cool; 4th alphabet = 4 authors. I start with the supper acclaimed and talented Anita Desai, a writer who needs no introduction. …
C brings to fore the vast variety and talent the Indian authors have. Both the authors today are not dedicated writers but professionals first who have done wonders in their profession as well as writing. Sadly I have not read both but have them high on my TBR. I foresee a manifold addition to my …
A writer, author of Indian origin is not that difficult to find but the find one corresponding to each alphabet of the English letter is no mean feat! Lots of competition here. I first heard about Rasana through some blogging friends and thought her writing had a lot of Indian flavor and the book covers …
Today is the theme reveal day and I am so excited since I finally found my theme just last week! I had almost given up on the challenge, moving to another city in April and no theme, no posts, no ideas; so worried I was. It was possible only when a fellow blogger and very …
The New Year is already old with a month already past. Days and weeks have slipped away and the new beginnings and plans already abandoned or changed and lucky ones implemented. The thought that time flies is never more obvious than during the beginning or an ending. One thing that I had planned last year …
SUNFLOWER BLOG FEST Today is the day I had marked on my calendar for Tina Downey and then in the morning I got a mail for a post update from Damyanti. It was like the perfect reminder, making sure I don’t miss. I had very briefly interacted with Tina during the A to Z. I …
