Book review: Fahrenheit 451. – The Thinkeist
https://thethinkeist.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/814
Book review: Fahrenheit 451. Book review: Fahrenheit 451. July 5, 2015. July 5, 2015. Obviously. No give, no take. Fair enough. I picked up this petite, beat-up copy of Fahrenheit 451 and Revati picked up a French book. I was, obviously, immediately jealous since both of us were looking for a French book for days. But then I looked at Lhamo stamping my book with the guest house address and I stopped thinking about who’s getting the better deal. In Captain Beatty’s words:. A book is a loaded gun in the ho...

The Classics Club – The Thinkeist
https://thethinkeist.wordpress.com/the-classics-club
So, I came across The Classics Club. And decided to make a list of the numerous classics I’ve been wanting to read, but couldn’t, because something or the other kept getting in the way. Mostly, not knowing where to start. The Classics Club solved that problem for me. I can choose the books – the number and the titles – I feel I can read in five years time. The task consumed me for more than 3 days, and towards the end of it, which is now, I am still not sure I have covered everything! 21 Brontë, Emily: W...

In short, Europeans struggle to absorb an honest view of colonial history partly because their own memories of colonialism tend to be good. Germans could accept that Nazism had been bad because it had mostly been bloody awful for them too. But when the French, British or Dutch think of empire, cognitive dissonance intrudes. How can something that felt so good have been bad? Read the full article here…. April 8, 2013. A movie a day. His methodo...

Har har! The wedding season is here! | Diary of an Introverted Schmuck
https://diaryofanintrovertedschmuck.wordpress.com/2016/12/21/had-har-the-wedding-season-is-here
Diary of an Introverted Schmuck. The wedding season is here! It’s the middle of the night, I have to doll up for two pre-wedding functions tomorrow and here I am, trying to make those dark circles more prominent. Way to go, Mia! The recipe for a sweet disposition and a decently made-up face definitely consists of late nights and late night snacking. I don’t judge. I merely stuff my face with gulab jamuns and pakodas and I’m looking forward to just that (and chilling with the cousins). What do I do? WHAT ...

The Pink Tinge of Hope | Diary of an Introverted Schmuck
https://diaryofanintrovertedschmuck.wordpress.com/2016/09/19/the-pink-tinge-of-hope
Diary of an Introverted Schmuck. The Pink Tinge of Hope. Does this mean I have no character or am I in any way asking to be sexually assaulted? Nor were the thousands of women who were in fact assaulted. Nor were Meenal, Falak or Andrea. It’s terrifying that they received minimal support from the police who nicely pointed out that they shouldn’t have ventured outdoors after dark in the same place. It’s terrifying how helpless they were despite being strong and independent. And the preparation for this ki...

Diary of an Introverted Schmuck. Book Review: All That Glitters by Liza Treviño. All That Glitters – A Tale of Sex, Drugs and Hollywood Dreams. March 1, 2017. Is a women’s fiction Jackie Collins-type saga that introduces a strong, driven Latina heroine at the center of a rags-to-riches story spanning a decade of action. Along the way, Alexandria walks the fine line separating ambition and self-destruction, and discovers that some sacrifices will cost her everything. I liked the plot. It was always in...

https://thethinkeist.wordpress.com/author/tejaswinikale
To writerly aspirations and Maya Angelou. November 26, 2016. February 22, 2017. Today, I woke up feeling doubtful and stressed because of the changes happening around me. Then there’s this fear of not being able to fulfill expectations I have of myself. But everyone goes through this, right? And they manage to deal with changes that happen in their own ways. I am told the best ways are to have courage in your daily life and to not be afraid of working hard. When instead, I could have made better use of t...
