I have a confession to make. I am a writer and sometimes I am a little mad. Or actually, on second thought. What I meant to say is that sometimes, I can be a little normal. It’s really no surprise really. Writing is a traumatising experience; Think about it. Just you, in a room, helplessly … Continue reading
All swans are birds, but not all birds are swans. Similarly, all video games; that is electronic games played on some video device, are Video Games.

It was a little less than a year ago when I took the first step. As professional as I tried to sound, I had no clue what I was doing. The thought of starting a blog and sharing my love for a good story just seemed like fun. Now here I stand amazed at how … Continue reading
