One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are;

I have added another romantic classic set in the time of the American Civil War, but then this is another great book on the strength of the female spirit in times of war. I read the unabridged version of the book, as a teenager and I instantly fell in love with the medieval lifestyle

As a “feline” reader I have particularly enjoyed reading some books. The books fall in various genre of writing from Chic-Lit, to globally applauded Classics. The list does not follow any “read first:” sort order and is a very random listing that I would suggest most women to definitely pick up and read at some point of time. How well the book goes down with a reader is supremely defined by the “current frame of mind” and thus, I have added my own views on each book, to help in the selection of “the right book, at the right time”.

This implies I have complete access to a plethora of news and information websites, blogs and networking sites and have email accounts and photo albums on most free web spaces. I am connected, virtually. I am [...]

I grew up on fairy tales and fables. They instilled my fertile mind with the power of imagination and an incessant love for reading. Even today, I love to talk about these fairy tales and their magical world.
Beautiful childhood memories are sub-consciously associated with the fairy tales that I heard as a child. [...]

It is proven. Psychologist Professor Adrian Furnham, of University College London, analyzed the results of 25 studies on IQ and gender differences and his findings say that men are deluded about the supremacy of their mental prowess. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1145381

“Mahabharta” or the “Great Book of Bharata” was initially a Poem of Triumph (Jaya) and later grew to magnificent proportions, from the tale of Bharata, to the “Maha” tale of the descendents of Bharata and their family feud.

“Every time you say yes to something that is unimportant, you are saying no to something that is important. ‘Yes men’ and ‘yes women’ never create anything great. There’s huge value in [...]

Yes, writers have to sell their skills in IT-organizations – not to get the job, but after they land a job in an IT-organization. While most IT-organizations are realizing the need for hiring skilled writers to handle their technical and organizational documentation, they are not fully aware of the potential of the writers they [...]

As a technical writer by profession, with myriad experience in writing for the IT industry, I strongly believe that IT-based documentation is an upcoming domain where more and more people should venture. In this blog post, I intend to share my observations on where and how writers with a technical bent of mind can [...]

Being feline does not mean I am sly, stealthy, or treacherous. I belong to the Cat family (read Leo) and this is my strongest practical claim to adopting “feline” as a word that describes me best.

While it was centered on Yoga and Meditation to beat our daily dose of mental and physical stress, what mainly held my interest in the session was Hans’ reflections on Life. He threw light on many significant aspects of life – karma, astral [...]

“People will sometimes try to cut you down to size to make themselves look bigger, so if you start out small, they will only make you smaller.” I read these words on the internet – advise from a mother to her married daughter – and I realized just how important they were for me [...]
