HAUNTED PLACES IN KOLKATA – A DATE WITH THE DEAD !
If you ask me, which genre of books I love reading the most? Without a blink I would say SUPERNATURAL FICTION. It lights me up as I like the thrill of being scared, but it doesn’t excite me as much as real stories about paranormal encounters do. I love the spooky feeling of crossing a…

Bored of dull colours and muted tunes in life??!! Head to Jaipur – the capital of Rajasthan.

Moscow – Russia’s Architectural Wonder !
Delhi to Moscow has been my longest continuous flight till date. Engrossed in my dream book series, six and an half hours didn’t seem too long to a Potterhead like me ! Hence with my glasses half on my nose, I was deep in Harry’s tales of Hogwarts when I heard the announcement to fasten…
