NEW BLOG POST: a review of the Anushka-starrer Pari is up NOW on Spiktinot! Link in bio 💖 • Did you watch the movie? What did you think of it? • In grand tradition of going off on a tangent, this evening I wanted to talk to you guys about numbers.• Sometimes I feel like I'm just plodding along putting all this content out, good content, that I spend time on, and no one's paying attention and I'm not getting anything for it because not enough numbers. It's not tenable like this, you know. It's frustrating and breaks my heart. • How often do you guys worry about the numbers your blog is doing? What are your average numbers? Where would you like to be? Are you where you would like to be? • Let me know and let's get a discussion going 💖 • #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram#bloggersofinstagram #bookstagramindia #moviereviews #bollywood #parifilm #anushkasharma #virushka #horrorlover #weekend •

AT LONG LAST, a new book review! LINK IN BIO. • The review of Hell! No Saints in Paradise by A. K. Asif is up on the blog. • I'd like to point out two things that have been bothering me a lot lately. • I have been reading a LOT of book reviews recently to get the feel of what this industry and community is all about. And I've been absolutely shocked at the way the reviews are written. • Most of them are summaries if the story rather than reviews, and very few are negative reviews, no matter what the (glaring) qualities of the book are. • So I'd like to ask you guys a question. Do you feel scared that if you reveal too much in the review or it becomes too long, it will affect the numbers on the blog, and so you make them as brief and non spoilery as possible? • Also, do you feel afraid to write negative reviews in case publishers or networks get annoyed with you? • Tell me what you think. Let's get a discussion going. • Also, have you guys read this book? What do you think of it? If you haven't, read the review and let me know what you think. • #writersofinstagram#poetsofinstagram #bloggersofinstagram #blogger #indianblogger#kolkata #bookstagramindia #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #bookstagramunited #lovereading •

It's Mira Nair with Chandrahas Choudhury on AKLF Day 1! I nearly fainted when she talked about meeting Satyajit Ray because the thought of two of my favourite people to ever have existed, IN THE SAME ROOM, was too much to handle. • Her laughter, her stories about searching for the perfect Indian food no matter in which country she happened to be shooting in, once with Uma Thurman in tow, the very assurance she carries herself with: I fell in love with all of it. I think I would like to be someone very much like her some day. • #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #bloggersofinstagram #blogger #indianblogger #kolkata #kolkatadiaries #artandliterature #literature #bookstagramindia #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #aklf18 #unitedbookstagram #miranair #filmlover #auteur •
