Gallery Mondays: Kobra’s ‘The Kiss’
Valentine’s Day is coming, so it’s time to get a bit lovey-dovey. This colorful mural by Eduardo Kobra might trigger a black and white memory of a real life event that happened in Times Square on V-J Day in 1945 commemorating our victory over Japan. The photo, taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt, captures one of the most…

Fan Art Fridays: Pride and Prejudice‘s Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a film inspired by Jane Austen’s book Pride and Prejudice and Seth Grahame-Smith’s 2009 zombie infused novel version, is in theaters starting today. I’m not sure what would possess Grahame-Smith or Burr Steers, the director of the film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, to do such a thing. They ruined all that was…

Wardrobe Wednesdays: Emma Roberts in LA
Emma Roberts looked extra cozy in LA last week in a tan-colored chunky turtle neck cable knit sweater, blue jeans, gold studded booties, and brown sunglasses. According to the Daily Mail, she saw a special someone (cough, Evan Peters, cough) on this little trip through LA, but I’m not clear as to whether she saw him…

Books I Want to Read in 2016
It’s a new year, so I’ve got a new list of books I want to read! Honestly, one of the best things about being out of school is the fact that you can read every and any book you want by choice. In 2015 I challenged myself to read 12 books, which I documented on Goodreads.…

NaNoWriMo 2015: ‘Runaway Girl’ Part 5
This is the last part of Runaway Girl (for now!). I had a lot of fun revisiting this story, so maybe next NaNoWriMo I’ll write another four or five parts. Read the previous parts here. The following weeks consisted of Priya and I searching for a job. “How about modelling?” she’d suggested. “Maybe hand modelling for jewelry and…

NaNoWriMo 2015: ‘Runaway Girl’ Part 4
This was supposed to be the last part of Runaway Girl, but since there’s one more Sunday in November, and I’ve been getting a lot of views on the NaNoWriMo posts, I’ve decided to make this a five part story! Enjoy part 4! (Read the previous parts here). I got up from the table with an…

NaNoWriMo 2015: ‘Runaway Girl’ Part 3
Enjoy part 3 of Runaway Girl. (Read part 1 and part 2) It’s been two weeks since I left Bangladesh. I feel so free here in New York. Priya and Greg have taken me to a Broadway show and to a few museums in Manhattan. Everything is so beautiful here. A smile wouldn’t leave my face until…

NaNoWriMo 2015: ‘Runaway Girl’ Part 2
Enjoy the second part of Runaway Girl! (Read part 1 here) It was only five o’clock in the morning when I tiptoed down the stairs and out the back door of the house. I took one last look at the family photo on the living room table and then I left. I was going to miss this…

Fan Art Fridays: Grace Helbig and Chester See (Grester)
In honor of #NaNoWriMo, every Fan Art Fridays post for November will have a fan fiction story to go along with it. Coincidentally, the cover of the fan fiction is almost the same as this week’s fan art! YouTube fans cannot stop gushing over Grester. I figured that I would find some pretty good fan fiction…

NaNoWriMo 2015: ‘Runaway Girl’ Part 1
I’ve decide to participate in NaNoWriMo this year! The story I’ll be sharing here on my blog is one that I wrote as a Year 1 at Bard High School Early College Queens. The prompt was “family injustice” so I wrote about a Bengali girl whose parents were forcing her to marry someone she has no interest…
