Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 10)

That Night by Nidhi Upadhyay I'm reading this book in a paperback format and have completed around 50 pages. The book is about four friends who played a game of Ouija while at college and a girl of their hostel died. Twenty years later someone is trying to mess with them even though they live in different parts of the world. Intriguing premise. And interesting writing style so far. I think I might like this book, let's see. The book is around 300 pages long. The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas This book is about Lina and Aaron Blackford - two colleagues who initially seemingly hate each other but somehow end up becoming each other's fake dates to some major events. I've read like 150 pages of this book so far and am finding it repetitive and boring as of now. Let's see how it goes. I might rate the book a 2/5 stars if the writing does not improve as the book progresses. Or if it improves, I might rate it 3/5 stars or 4/5 stars, let's see. Until now, the pa...

Restaurants That I Ate At Recently (Part 5)

That Waffle Place I have ordered from here before through online delivery platforms but recently I went and ate at their shop for the first time. They have quite a few branches I think. We went to the one in Alwarpet. We ordered their Frozen Hot Chocolate and Belgian Biscoff Waffle. I did not taste the frozen hot chocolate but the biscoff waffle was good although it would have been better if they added biscoff biscuit crumbles along with the biscoff spread. The place also had some games like jenga which kept us entertained. Overall, I would rate the place a 4/5 stars. Maison Indulgence We went to this place recently due to the Instagram hype that it has. But unfortunately, for us, it did not live up to the hype. We felt that all the items were overpriced. We ordered the Basque cheesecake and did not like it all. Ambience was okay-ish, too noisy. I would rate this place 1/5 stars. This place is also situated in Alwarpet. Mexe Another place which is in Alwarpet - Mexe. We ordered their c...

Reviews of Recently Released Movies (Part 8)

Shaitaan This movie is a Hindi language film about a man who hypnotizes many girls so that he can give them off as human sacrifice in a ritual which will make him powerful and give him the power to control minds. The struggle of one of the girl's family is shown in the movie as they try to fight off the man and save their daughter. Must-watch movie, really unique story. 4/5 stars. I watched this movie in theatres when it came out and really found it entertaining and unique. Madame Web This movie is about a woman - Cassie Web who can see the future and she decides to use this ability of hers to save three girls who are being chased by a bad spiderman who wants to kill them all. Little does she know that her mom knew this bad spiderman. She helps the girls relentlessly and their adventure is what the movie is all about. It is an English language film and is very entertaining to watch. I would give it a 5/5 stars. I watched this movie in theatres when it came out and I really enjoyed ...

Same Sea, Different Fish

I'm still in the same sea, Just smaller-than-before fish trying to eat me, It is a bit relaxing But also a bit embarrassing. This is a nice strategy - Trying to show me that everyone but me is a prodigy, So that I will leave And no one will grieve.
