Pretty Little Time only for me.. It's Heaven..

Are you wondering Where have I been all these days ? ? ?

A million dollar Question ? $ ?

It is simple - I got lost in the hectic life schedule.


Office.. Work..
Home.. Work..
Life.. Living..
Weekends.. Shopping..

But the best part is - I haven't left my interest in reading.
Adding to that I selected 'Pretty Little Liars Series Set 2' to my reading book shelf.

I got completely lost in the plot.
I got completely lost in the lives of Aria, Spencer, Hanna, Emily..

Esp. of Emily - I love the fact as to how well her brain works.
I also love the fact how well her heart melts for small and simple things.

Bringing in a lot of characters into the story and how nice all the teeny-weeny characters blend together.

One thing I can mention is that, I could never ever forget the plot, twists and turns in the story, Alison, The experiences of the girls in Women's jail.

It took me more than 4 months time to complete all the second set of Pretty Little Liars. I had a feeling to start reading any other books in parallel to the PLL series. But I couldn't do it. I had a feeling that I might lose interest in PLL. But PLL didn't allow me to jump to any other story. 4 months of reading the books - It is definitely worth it.

It helped me divert my mind from all the other chaos in my work life.

Issne Mera Bhag Khula

Bhagonwali - a true eye-opener for how to be a wife !!

Today I completed watching he serial "Bhagonwali" which is telecast in Zee TV,I came across this serial in my Engineering days where I simply used to watch all the serials telecast in Zee TV. It is at that time that Zee TV went an tremendous amount of change and launched many new heroes and heroines. It is at the time when I watched "Yahan Mein Ghar Ghar Kheli", "PunarVivah Season 1", "Choti Bahu Season 2". Those were the days of sheer innocence. We get to watch these episodes only at the time they were telecast. But today, with UN-limited Internet access - I get to watch all the episodes available on YouTube.

"Bhangonwali" at the start I felt it so cheap. The settings, house, costumes, make-up everything felt so down-to-earth. I believe that the house of Runjhun and Guddu, Hanuman Temple, Guddu Shukla Mobile Centre all are part of an indoor studio only. The backbone of these episodes is the story line where the concept of Dabbang is used for the hero. Neverthless, this is the smallest soap episodes I ever saw till date with only 318 episodes. This isn't boring, this isn't dragged, It is at the most capturing audience pulse. A point to be learnt from Runjhun is that - We can live to any extent. If we are poor, we need to be a poor person and live happily. If we have money, we need to lead the life of a rich person. Don't ever make money come to affect your feelings/face expression ? I wonder how it could be possible for Runjhun to behave that way. Definitely for me, I am not so sure If I could start living as a poor person..

The second part after Runjhun becomes the Jootha Maatha Rani - Well that is something on the comedy track and also some thought provoking episodes. People should be beware of fraud Maata Rani.
Jootha Matha Rani tho Joota nikala !!

Good thing is that I get to know that in Uttar Pradesh there is a city by name "Kannauj"and that it is also called by name "Perfume City of India". After knowing the history of the place "Ithar Wali Galli" sounded perfect for the street where Runjhun and her family lived.

As per MahaDevi - I never thought she would act so very good. She amazed me simply as a young pregnant lady.

It is a good thing early in the morning, I wake up daily and start with playing Bhangonwali wpisodes in the background and immerse myself completely in the daily chores. The cruel intentions of all Maama, Maami, Neelu, Jabbu - They don't repeat. These characters are bad but then they are unique and un-predictable.

Bottomline:- Has to run in background only. "Anti-Boring Agent".

Little Secrets are Good and then are Bad..

I went through this book after finishing the 1^st half of the series. (Book #1 through Book #8).

It is quite interesting to know the individual secrets of all the liars and what they are up to for one particular Christmas. The frame of activities are clubbed so well that the Amino Spa Bottle started with the first liar of the book, Hanna and went through the last liar of the book, Spencer.

However, none of the incidents are related to the story. There are no links as to tell who A could be, or who is involved in ruining life's in Rosewood.

The most amazing thing to think about Aria is She is hasty and got married at the age of 16. How, risky that could be. But then she is Aria, an art student.

This book can be read only when you are not contended with reading about the liars and wanted more and more of them. Nothing related to the plot at all.

What should I call this Love..

I started watching the serial Is Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon.. Season 1.
This is telecast in Star Plus. It is known for the chemistry between Arnav and Khushi.
My first impression with watching the serial is - It is a love story between Christian Grey and Anastasia.
But then again it is different. The name Chamkili is apt for the heroine. She is all glitter and white and beautiful.
The Name Arnav is short backing up the character of the hero who is short tempered.
I love these type of Love stories as I already said in my previous posts.
Scenes where Arnav keeps quiet most of the time when Khushi is around him.
The Scenes where khushi is surprised when Arnav talks caring with her Di.
The scenes which trigger the song "Raba Ve.. Raba Ve.."
Star Plus actually proved a lot better than Zee TV Serials (I watched Choti Bahu) in terms of the glitter and gold. The colours, the vibrancy, the heroines, the hero, the style, the richness, the story.
Another character who is both beautiful and sole for this story is Anjali/Rani Sahiba/Di. She is the most beautiful of all the girls in the serial. I am run out of words to talk about her.

Also the comedy scenes between Manorama and Lavanya - They are the best. It is like watching two natural woman fight about sarees and things that happen in regular kitchen.
There is no dragging in the story. Till now the director has not run out of ideas, not run out of comedy, not run out of romance. I am watching currently 76Th Episode and 300 more to go. Fingers Crossed !!

So far, this is the best serial. A lot better than the Previous one (Choti Bahu)

Yet another Disaster but Beautifully written

While reading Beautiful Disaster I felt like I am going through Twilight (or) 50 Shades but with completely different names and different country. It felt exciting at the beginning of the story. But then again I felt like that is another Christian and Anastasia in each and every country. There is only one instance in the story where Kara, Abby's roommate mentions that 'Abby and Travis are like a disaster.' Again Abby considers it as a beautiful thing. The relationship between Abby and Trav is then considered as Beautiful disaster. The feeling here is mutual.

I felt like Abby had to stay away from Travis just to keep her feelings at bay. In the story, Abby being 19 years old made me feel good. It is at this stage in your life where you need to take wise decisions, yet you will be exposed to all kinds of desires and glitter in life. Each stage in life I felt good that Abby is the Lucky Charm of the story and only good things happen to the couple and people around them at the end of each chapter.

There is no such captivating moment in the story which made me cry.
There is no such captivating moment in the story which me feel lonely.
There is no such captivating moment in the story which would me remember this story again and again.

But at the end, every girls dream would be a guy like Edward Cullen, Christian Grey, Travis Maddox.
It would be dream to have such a guy in my life. As said, These type of guys are a DREAM !! and can be found only in fantasy stories like Beautiful Disaster.

It would not harm any one to read the same stories again and again even though the books are written for every state or even for every country.

Is it a Wimpy Kid (or) hilarious kid !!

For your info.. This is not a diary but a Journal.. ROFL.
I started reading this book in the form of e-book. But then I realized that the reading effect of this book is not proper in a PDF format as the book has many pictures and drawings in it. I expressed the same to my husband and surprisingly I received this box set as a gift from him for New Year 2015 and what's late.. I started reading this book. After finishing all my day's work, I grab the book before hitting the bed.

Wimpy Kid takes me to a hilarious world the moment I start reading it. I laugh and smile and get lost. It doesn't matter at which page I halt my reading and continue the next day, the effect is the same.
I am so surprised that I completed this book so fast (within 2 days) and ROFL, I started reading it loud for the 2nd time.

Hysterically laughing

I want more of the lies..

Book Name: Pretty Little Liars Book #8 - WANTED.

It is not only the author who is pinching her skin. Did the PLL series really complete?
I don't understand...There are certainly some of the questions unanswered.
What about Wilden, Alison, Jason and their family. Are they all clean?
I really thought that some of the characters in the book will be brought back like Toby and Ezra.

In the last part(Book #8) it is very thoughtful of Alison sending a letter to the PLL about all the mysteries of the night she(or should i say Courtney) went missing.
I am not feeling bad for either Courtney or Alison being dead or missing or whatever. Both the sisters are crazy. There are a lot of theories already in Internet circulating the ending of PLL. So, I am not going to explain here in detail everything.
Is Jenna's death simply because she is the only one in Rosewood who knew that the Dilaurentis sisters are twins ?

It is hard to ignore that a patient name in Preserve mental hospital matches with Paige whom Emily dates in PLL TV Series.

I recommend this book to girls who seek a little mystery and killings from their reading.

I definitely need some answers and look what I found..
ANOTHER part of PLL.
So here I am again reading and reading. #:-) Fingers Crossed !!

Pretty people are always Heartless

Just finished the Pretty Little Liars series Book #7 titled "Heartless".

Best and the interesting book so far in the series. I feel personally that each and every book with the increase in it's number, there is an increase in the interest being created in the reader. 

But I miss some of the characters from the story line especially Toby and Ezra. I just remembered that there is a line in one of the book stating "Art student Aria is not done with Ezra yet". May be Ezra will be back soon with his Book on Rosewood's Pretty Little Liars. (Spoiler: This part I got from the television series of the book.)

Plot of the story is very interesting that I stopped working in my office and am reading the book only. 

There are actually many instances in the book stating that Alison might have a twin.
1. Jason got his father's(Mr. Dilaurentis) nose. So he is not part of Hastings family as he did not inherit any of the Hastings face features . And suddenly Peter Hastings mentions that "he doesn't know about the kids(might be Alison and her twin) until later".

2. There is a photo of Jenna and Alison and another blonde girl(back of the girl is shown in the picture). And the pretty little liars are so dumb that they took the back of the girl for Naomi. The other girl doesn't fit to the present is what A mentioned under the photo. As nobody in Rosewood knew about the twin, May be this third girl in the picture is Ali's twin. 

3. There is the part where Aria performs a seance and then Alison's spirit(probably) gave her in writing that "Ali killed Ali" which only meant there might be another person who is pretending to be Ali(might be her twin).

4. Iris mentions that Courtney is her roommate and then she quotes "I'm Iris and I'm fabulous"(which is the statement of Ali). And then there is Ali's face somewhere on the graffiti wall. May be Courtney is Ali's twin and Iris knew it.

By the end of the book, Jenna Cavanaugh is dead out of the blue. Why should she be dead ? Is it related to her fight with Jason. And whereabouts of Ian are still not known.

I am actually dying to know about what Jason and Wilden are guilty about and why Ian is afraid of them. Cannot wait much longer. I moved onto Book #8 Wanted. Fingers Crossed !!

Wickedly Wicked... (Pretty Little Liars Boom #5)

I quickly wanted to move to another book of Pretty Little Liars. The story line now got so interesting. Now that Ian is dead and Emily is a Bi (Seriously !).

Mike hanging out with all the rich kids. This is like a normal thing.

And Maya is still alive ?? I thought she is dead until her character is brought up in the entire book for only once.

Xavier, Ella's new boyfriend made a pass at Aria ?? (Again Seriously !!)

What's NEXT..!!!! I am offffffffff..

Pretty much Unbelievable ending..

Pretty Little Liars Book 4 - UnBelievable

Truly unbelievable that Mona is dead at the end. And it was Hanna who remembers that Mona is A.
I guess, reading the books earlier and watching the series on TV later would have all the thrill in.
Ali's diary is found by Pretty Little liars and Ian got arrested for the charge of Ali's murder. RIDICULOUS...

Perfect ending for "Pretty Perfect"

There that's how a perfect ending to the Perfect book.
I never realized that all the small important scenes are now being put together for the flow of the story.
But Ezra being locked up and Aria being homeless and also the girls finally realizing they should hang out together for their own good - This is interesting.

Buckle up girlies.. The story is still getting dirtier.

Pretty Little Liars - Book 3 (Perfect)

Woah..!!! I just reached 159/194 of Book "Perfect". And I noticed that the book is not as great as the Television series. 

1. Spencer's stealing of Melissa's essay is found by their family in a normal way. But the television version is far better.
2. I feel that Emily's story is separated from the plot. It is all about the GAY thing.
3. Definitely, Skywriting of Mona's birthday and Iceskating for Emily, TreeTops counselling is not covered as part of TV version.
4. Emily suddenly becoming the "IT" girl bcz of Gay thing... Ewww....!!!
5. Even after reaching this far in Book 3, I am surprised that none of the four girls (Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer) do not hang out and start researching about A. Instead Hanna makes numerous attempts to be friend of Mona again and again.
6. Sean and Aria - Seriously ? Is it happening ?

Pretty Little Liars Book 2 - Flawless

Seriously, this is not how I expected Toby to be dead. Way different than the TV series. I liked the TV version.
Even, Aria's episode about revealing to her mom and the fight Byron and Ella have is different.
Foxy night is changed. How Toby and Emily fight, How Hanna sneaks in hospital to get Jenna's reports.

TV version is far better with mystery.

Pretty Little Liars - Book 1

I first watched the Pretty Little Liars series on Television. Since, the series is not yet completed, I decided to read the books.

However, I spotted few differences from the book and the television series.

1. Spencer had a secret admirer, Andrew. This character is not shown in television version.
2. Spencer had two labradors.
3. Spencer got to stay in the barn for one night atleast until Wren came up and hooked up with her.
4. Emily's character is the worst of all. Even though I thought it was Aria's the worst.
5. Emily's mother is a retired teacher unlike a police officer from TV.
6. Hanna had a dog and it's name is Dot.
7. Even Mona is as rich as Spencer, for she gets to play golf in a club.

Thanks,
