The Author Upkeep

19th June 2023 Monday As-Salaam-Alaikum, (Meaning:  Peace & Blessings be upon you ) Hello again~ What's your addictive beverage? Every Bangladeshi on the face of the Earth will tell you how amazingly intoxicating cha (চা, or chai) is. Yet it can get a bit overwhelming during summer. Particularly from May to July. Urgh. But does that stop us? Of course not. Don't be silly. Ah, but not everybody has the same opinion. Usually I'm the girl who let's the cup sit for a while. Reduce the hot tea to lukewarm, then drink. Let me say, not a fan of doing that... but the past few summers have really tested my limits on enduring heat. I've forever grown up in a home without air conditioning. So it's pretty normal for me whenever the heat gets above 35°C; though, I often end up with blisters, itchy skin and melting like an ice-cream (I sweat like crazy! Its genetic.). And don't get me started on the increasing amounts of load-shedding this year. No generators, no fu

  15th June '2023 Thursday As-Salaam-Alaikum, (Meaning:  Peace & Blessings be upon you ) Hey there, Remember this one exam that had been a complete train wreck? Yeah... I had to re-sit for it. I really made a blundered last time. Incomplete QP. Yet, a few days ago, despite my initial stress and nervousness, when I actually re-sat for my A2 exam, I felt prepared. Or rather, experienced, if you will. Not as in, I know what to write... but more along the lines of: 'how to calculate the marks and the duration of the exam while answering the questions'. Just so I wouldn't repeat the same mistake twice. And guess what? The strategy almost worked. Anyway, let's save the in-depth analysis for another day. 😅 Real Talk though, just re-sitting for the exam felt embarrassing. I'd already been delayed by the infamous 2020 you-know-what , so re-sitting this time made me feel really old . The other reason would be because of the culture I've been raised in. Let's

21st Dec '2022 Wednesday As-Salaam-Alaikum, (Meaning:  Peace be upon you ) Hi there, So nice of you to drop by. As some of you might already know, I'm a bit preoccupied for December and most likely January too. My cousin is getting married this month and I've got my A2 exams to finish for the next one. Haha, so my lovely readers will have to wait a little longer for the upcoming chapters to be published. Recently, I've posted Chapter 29 spoilers, so have fun with that. My blog is always available for readers who'd like some changes added to my story, but wish to remain anonymous. Neat, huh? You know, a Bangladeshi wedding has a lot of formality right? There's 3 functions, in total. The Mehndi, Biye (the wedding) and the Boubhat (reception). Actually 4, if you count the Kabin/Arth (the official Islamic wedding). The Kabin happens before the Biye, if you guys didn't know. Currently, I'm having trouble deciding which outfit to go with which hijab... 🤔 and

27th Nov '2022 Sunday As-Salaam-Alaikum, (Meaning: Peace be upon you ) Today is a weird day for me, honestly. I want to continue writing chapter 29 of EIF, but I can't help desperately trying to ignore it. Not sure why... 😔 Although I'm very grateful that people read my stories, I can't help but think the recent EIF chapters aren't good enough. There's no votes or comments. As of now, the view count of Chapter 28 is 60+, with no votes. Am I that bad at action scenes? Is it my writing style, or the pacing? I've no clue. You might be wondering why I'm getting so worked up with chapter 29... Well, for starters, the chapter follows perspectives of 3 major characters. Different personalities, sneaky stuff, brain power and quite a bit of action scenes are there. So I'm freaking out on the inside! 😣🤯 I do want to publish the chapter by the end of this month. Yes, I'm gonna have to suck it up and work with whatever I've got. It's the prope

30th Oct '2022 Sunday My beloved readers, 🧡 Hope you have all been well. I know you are somewhat frustrated with my actions over the past few months. Things have been hectic, yes.
