Aug 12: Thriller is an expeditious story which entails the situation around conflict, tension, suspense, unexpected twist and high stakes that takes the readers on the roller coaster ride and leaves them on the edge of their seats. Author Anandajit has returned with his intriguing and suspenseful plot-driven story “Pink Gender: The Extended”. The ‘Pink Gender’ series was inspired by Pink, which circulates our human thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Author Anandajit Goswami revealed various characters and mysteries in the first book ‘Pink Gender’ in 2019. Now he came back with the extended version of the prequel with its sequel “Pink Gender: The Extended” that takes its readers to dive deep into the reasons behind the behaviour of the characters in the first book, being the story and the background remain the same with an insightful plot.

The story “Pink Gender: The Extended” revolves around the lives of three characters named Shapno, Ravi and Indu, who all are somehow interconnected through a weird incident, and they figured out the same when they are called for interrogation in the police station about a mysterious adventure. It unfolds various incidents about their life, which are interconnected amongst the three characters. The author has presented the story with a specific message about gender preference which is still a taboo in our society. 

The story somehow is inspired by the author’s journey of life filled with observations, experiences and memories of people he has come across. He unveils, “There’s nothing imprecise about the characters; it’s simply how various events had taken a turn in their lives and how they responded to it. They share stories of their sexuality, abusive relationship, gender bias, and social depictions and their response trying to get out of it.”

The story somehow highlights the dark side of human mentality and its response which takes its readers into that perception of the world that affects internal thoughts and beliefs and gender identity. As stated by the author, the book is a kind of psychotherapy session where each character opens up about their pain that relieves themselves from the heaviness in the heart. 

An excerpt from the book

One day, a man, a woman and a transgender person who is a dream are being called for police investigation at the police station regarding an unintended, mysterious accident. Their stories and mysteries unfold in the Counseling room of the police station, and a connecting link between the levels is established. This story is all about these magical mysteries of life, which are explained, self-explained, unexplained in their ways by opening all bright and dark corners of the human mind and Psychology.

Mumbai, Aug 11: Fashion was something that she always loved and she knew that she wanted to do something in this field. But coming from a middle-class family, it was difficult for her to do what she loved since it was a lot financially and her family was not financially stable at that time.

In 2013, she was working in a fashion brand and she quit her job 5 years ago to achieve her dreams.

She did a 3 months course in digital marketing. Where every Sunday and Sunday she used to go to classes and Monday to Saturday she used to work.

She then started blogging. It was hard, but she knew that if she works hard and she is true to herself and her audience, she will be able to achieve something good from this.

She is here today because of her hard work and her love for fashion.

She’s worked with over 50 brands over the span of 3 years. It’s been a long journey. To name a few Myntra, Shoppers Stop, Engage, DW, Sky Bags, Brand Factory, Lenevo, Mcaffeine.

She believes that as a blogger it’s very important to stay true to your own style. Since her blog is about her personal style, she would never take up something that doesn’t go with her personality or something that doesn’t seem genuine to her.

Being consistent is what works for her. She always tries to ensure that her pictures have good composition. She tries to come up with new things, for instance, She started out with fashion and then went on to beauty. She tries to be authentic and she tries to bring forward a wide range when it comes to creating content. And that’s how she is able to connect well with her audience.

Mumbai, Aug 11: Pragya Pathak, 24, of Delhi, has always had a keen eye for social media marketing. During the course of her graduation, she was exposed to this newfound and budding field and before she knew it, she was way too into it. Pragya would watch YouTube and Instagram videos, the fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content, and the concept of social media blogging fascinated her.

2016 was the year when Pragya began her journey as a blogger. With 5-6k followers in the growing years of social media blogging, she signed up herself on a few platforms and that itself was a kick start towards a career she is growing at. Her first 2 collaborations came in with Cadbury and Fastrack. The two major collaborations gave her the power to take a risk and move on to taking up social media blogger as a full-time career. In 2018 she went on her first-ever trip as a travel blogger with a Mumbai-based agency, and a new niche of travel blogger came up to her. She knew she loved fashion and travel, and so, with the knowledge, passion, and love for creating new content, travel, and social media, she set herself on the path of becoming a content creator and travel blogger.

In the course of 5 years, Pragya has grown immensely and not just in her social media presence, but also in her personal growth. As a content creator or a digital creator, her journey hasn’t always been filled with flowers and sunshine. She has struggled her way through; she has worked immensely with great dedication and hard work to be able to reach where she is today. “Being a content creator or a digital creator gives me enormous joy. Good things don’t come to us overnight. And it shouldn’t be, since you are willing to work in the field and if you wish to grow, you have to give your everything and not just do things for the sake of it,” Pragya’s words give the kind of motivation that one truly needs today. Her growth as a person and the heights of success that she has reached today is truly commendable and Pragya is truly the person people should look up to.

Pragya’s forte as a blogger goes wider than just travel and content. She loves to create fashion and make-up hacks and content that is just as entertaining and amazing to look at. With her recent milestone of 100k Instagram followers, one can only imagine how much the Instagram family loves to see her content. Pragya has created content for various sectors and brands that includes; JW Marriott, Himalaya, Wetside, PopXo, L’Oréal, Garnier, Goibibo, Thomas Cook, Skull Candy, Xiaomi, Maybelline, Amazon, Daniel Wellington, Myglamm, Center Fresh, and many such brands.

Pragya is one of those bloggers who not only create content for fun but also has a major influence on her followers. With the kind of persona she holds, it’s only a matter of time until she reaches the peaks of success, higher and much greater than she already has achieved.

Mumbai, Aug 11: Turning a dream into reality!

How did you start travelling?

When I was in 3rd grade, my dad took me on a road trip of the complete India tour. We covered the trip in a time span of around 45 days.

I had never been away from my home for this long before. But strangely, travelling felt like home.

I understood, at a very young age that this ‘traveling thingy’ of mine will eventually end up being a precious part of my life.

And I proved to be right. Once I passed college, there was never looking back. Hopping from one destination to another, meeting new people, discovering a variety of cultures, and hearing incredible stories from all over the country, gives me the joy that nothing else could ever replace.

How do you manage your profession and passion?

I’m a doctor by profession. To be completely honest, initially, it was very difficult to manage both my profession with my passion. Medical is a demanding profession and it only got harder with time.

Don’t get me wrong. It was all there – A stable and respected job. Good company around. Satisfaction from my folks. All the boxes were ticked.

But something was missing. The void of not being able to travel kept growing. I had to take a risky decision. And I took the leap.

I quit my 9 to 5 job but I didn’t leave my profession. I found a way to achieve balance. Now I only accept home visits to patients, according to my travel schedule, and save the money from the visits to support my monetary needs in exploring new destinations. So I guess, it’s a win-win.

Your love for travel!

A thought used to emerge in my mind, which I kept ignoring for a while, but eventually couldn’t. A thought that – when you CAN explore the entire world and have experiences of a lifetime, then why the F would you still choose to stay wherever you are for the rest of your life?!

Every trip to a new destination has given me something invaluable. Only travellers can really relate to this.

I look at life, not in the terms of achievements but the terms of experiences. At the end of my journey here on earth, I want to proudly say that I didn’t stop exploring. That’s how I choose to live. That’s how I choose to die.

Our lives are limited but my love for traveling isn’t.

New Delhi, Aug 10: Richa, as the mere name itself, has originated from the Sanskrit word “RUC”, which means “To Praise”. Richa Kumari is a creative person and loves to do everything because of her incessant curiosity. She is a budding author, and ‘Those Fallen Breadcrumbs’ is her first beautiful tale. It is a fiction book and is published by Notion Press.

This is the story of a boy named Akshay who, after failing IITJEE, follows the standards of success set by society and, like all of us, is in a dilemma – was engineering really his dream? He is confused and is searching for answers about what he actually wants. 

Clarity unfolds when he meets his college friend after three years. This book aims to change the mindset of society so that the younger generation can choose the path that makes them happy and not the path that makes others happy. It will retake us back to their memory lane when we were in similar confusion.

Yes, ‘Those Fallen Breadcrumbs’ is the book where every reader, be it a student or parent, can relate to some of its characters, scenes or plot. Hence the subtitle as ‘It’s your own Story’. This book will not teach you how bad things happen to good people but will tell how a group of engineering students coming from radically different backgrounds had turned and twisted their fates to make everything fall into place. Caged and chained by the societal norms, they ended up together following the most travelled path. Those fallen breadcrumbs were the façade of the correct direction, and they went on a crazy roller coaster ride of laughter, sorrow, fun, suspense and entertainment.
