Aadita- what it means





A lot of people have been asking me about what the meaning of the title of my new book ‘Aadita’ is. Well, Aadita is a name of a girl that in Sanskrit means from the beginning. She is the protagonist of my story whose actions influences the life of another character in the book- Raina.

I must admit the character wasn’t initially named Aadita but while working on a title to give my story, I wanted to find something that would reflect the tone of the book. When I found what I was looking for, I loved the name so much that I changed the protagonist’s name.

Aadita had to be thus named because she’s the one who inflicts the curse on her family that traverses to generations until Raina is born and is the only one who possesses the strength to break it. Why is she chosen to break the curse and what is the curse actually- well read the book! The truth behind the curse and Aadita’s real intentions are only revealed in the dramatic and cathartic climax.

 I have to add that it was the most difficult and challenging chapter I have ever written and don’t think I could ever write something so overwhelming again.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.   Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying.  What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot  We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
