    Book Review | White Man Falling by Mike Stocks

BOOK REVIEW | White Man Falling . . I don’t do book reviews, but when I do, it’s only when a book has annoyed me so much that I want my review to be a public service and spare others from the torture. Also, my blog and Instagram were idle for so long and what better way to revive this than a blog post, right? . I bought this book many years ago when I wanted to give written humour a try. Until then, I hadn’t read a funny book and I thank my stars that even though this was the first comedy book I purchased, I read other, better books before this. Otherwise my first impression of written comedy would have been tainted forever. . And while, after reading this, I may want to throw this book at Mike Stocks if I ever saw him, my mother will probably want to shake hands with him. As it is because of him that her daughter, someone who, when asked, proudly calls herself a North-Indian (most times, except when it is more convenient to state that I am Tamil, then I conveniently also omit that only 50% of me is Tamil), is offended at someone talking smack about Tamil, Tamilians, and Tamil culture. No other book has or probably ever will make me defend my Tamil roots as much as this one. . . .

Someone once said, “Write drunk, edit sober.” . Kicking off the #InstaWriMo challenge with this awesome selfie. I’m supposed to be planning my NaNo novel for November. But for now, I’ll settle for playing along with a photo challenge that I didn’t have to break my head over 😆❤️ . Cheers! . . #SaturdayNightVibes #NaNoWriMo #WriteDrunkEditSober #WritersofInstagram #selfie #redwine🍷 #itshandled #oliviapopestyle
It’s been long since you saw a picture of these two, hasn’t it? . So I picked my title for C for @blogchatter’s A-Z challenge as... . C for Catfights are fun to watch. 😹 . In the picture, #CleoAzad is giving #LeahAzad a “get off my turf” look while little, innocent Leah is licking herself dry after bath time. . Back in those days when Leah was new and Cleo was still adjusting to the idea of having another cat in the house, these two used to be fun to watch. . They never got into a fight (that I know of), thank God! But that’s not the fight that happened in this episode of High School Never Ends. . Click on the link in bio @mrswritesalatte to see what Catfight Anahita enjoyed and stay tuned to know what happens next. . This story is a part of “High School Never Ends” - a novel that @kittycatzad and I have been talking about since 2013 and working on since 2012. Throughout April, I’ll share little stories based on the same characters from the novel. All stories are linked to each other so you might want to start with “A Good Listener”. Link is in the post. . D for... is getting published in an hour on the blog because I’m a day late with that. 🙈 Yes, already. . . . . . #BlogchatterA2Z #writersofig #chiclit #wordsmith #humour #writing #creativewriting #blogchatter #bloggersgetsocial #ontheblog #bloggergirl #bloggerslife #everysquareastory #photosinbetween #lovelysquares #theeverygirl #oneofthebunch #feelfreefeed #mornings #cattitude #catsofinsta #kittensofinstagram #catstagram #catlady #AzadCats
I saw these gorgeous flowers near the NMMC Headquarters back when I used to go on mornings walks with @kamaths86; pre-baby, of course. And even though most of the times flowers signify freshness and colour, these days images of flowers have been used to send horrendous WhatsApp forwards or to add quotes on them that make them great status updates 😂 . For @blogchatter’s A-Z Challenge #BlogChatterA2Z Day 2, Anahita’s story continued from the previous episode where her serious work is interrupted with an interesting Facebook notification. . Check out what happens in... . B for Bestie? (The question mark is totally intentional. 😂) . The link to the post is in my bio @mrswritesalatte. This story is a part of “High School Never Ends” - a novel that @sugarspiceanderrythingnice have been talking about since 2013 and working on since 2012. Throughout April, I’ll share little stories based on the same characters from the novel. All stories are linked to each other so you might want to start with “A Good Listener”.

As if I wasn’t doing too much already, I jumped on the #BlogChatterA2Z bandwagon because apparently, sleep and I are on a break and we are not getting back together anytime soon. 🤷🏻‍♀️ . @blogchatter’s A-Z Challenge is basically writing 26 blog posts in April, 1 each day except on Sundays (today didn’t count.) and the post titles or the main topic of the posts should range from A to Z. . So I decided to continue writing the fiction post I had written way back in January and divide the whole story into 26 ‘scenes’. . So today’s post starting from A is called... . ASS ON FIRE . 🤣🤣🤣🤣 . The link to the post is in my bio @mrswritesalatte. And if you’ve wanted to read what this “High School Never Ends” is all about that @sugarspiceanderrythingnice have been talking about since 2013, you get to read a little bit of the story every day this month. . Oh, and this gorgeous fire is from our camp fire at #TribalCamp in Pench on our anniversary night in 2015. 😍😍😍 . . . . . #PenchDiaries #holidaydiaries #campfire #chillynights #writersofig #chiclit #wordsmith #humour #writing #creativewriting #blogchatter #bloggersgetsocial #penchnationalpark #ontheblog #bloggergirl #bloggervibes #bloggerslife #everysquareastory #photosinbetween #lovelysquares #inspiremyinstagram
Yes, I’m still posting from this challenge because I created these waaaay back in January and I can’t let it go to waste. So here’s the lettering of Prompt 11 of #wordstolivebyjanuary challenge hosted by @leallylettering. 🙈🙈🙈 . 🗒 Doodle pad: @papercrush_india 🖋 Brush Pens: @tombowusa. . Like the previous lettered quotes, there’s a video up in stories @mrswritesalatte showing you how I designed this.

Before I left for Pondicherry, @rashmeebg told me that there would be beautiful doors. I wasn’t disappointed. And here’s first of the many beautiful doors we saw. 😍😍😍😍 . . . . . #ihavethisthingwithdoors #ihavethisthingwithbikes #ihavethisthingwithblue #pondicherry #pondicherrydiaries #doorsofinstagram #colourinmysquare #colorfulicious #sidewalkerdaily #justgoshoot #exploremore #letsgosomewhere #huntgram #nothingisordinary_ #vscogoodshot #posttheordinary #chasinglight #takemethere #visualgang #wonderfuldestinations #culturetrip #travelandleisure #letsgoeverywhere #darlingescape #NS_HolidayDiaries #NS_Pondicherrydiaries #doorsoftheworld
Prompt 10 of #wordstolivebyjanuary challenge hosted by @leallylettering. 🙈🙈🙈 . I know it’s END OF MARCH but I did this in January itself and then life took over and I forgot about it. So here it is ❤️ Better late than never. Oh and I have one more from the challenge that I will post later. 😂😂😂 . Also, I did realise it when I was lettering this but the finished project is very @amytangerine 😍😍😍 and I love it. What do you think?? . 🗒 Doodle pad: @papercrush_india 🎨: @kokuyo_camlin watercolours .

Sooooo after the initial burst of energy at the beginning of the year and the constant stories and lettering and writing updates, I vanished for a while and here’s why. . We had a holiday planned in the beginning of February - our first since the baby - and well, it did not go as we expected. Turns out, travelling with children is not as cool and easy as it’s made out to be, especially if your toddler is as hyperactive as mine is. So six days of struggle to get her to hold our hand when she walked and to get her to sit still for meals without her high chair or booster, were almost as stressful as our regular life at home, if not more. I really want to write about it but it’ll be on @beingmammabear, if I ever get around to it. . And once we were glad to be back home to our familiar routine, one that we knew worked, the baby got chicken pox - 4 days before she was supposed to get the vaccine. . Exactly two weeks later, I got it too, despite being vaccinated for it. But thanks to the vaccine, it is very, very mild. . So yeah, things have kind of spun out of control and I can’t wait to get back to writing and lettering. . Until then, I have some lovely photos to share from our trip to Pondicherry and some old lettering projects and videos made for the January Challenge that I was playing along with. ❤️❤️
