  We all love a good twist in the show. We appreciate a generous surprise that starts pumping the adrenaline to us. I have only recently discovered the joy of reading thrillers that are realistic to the core. It all started when I was reading this comic that had a bizarre title with an evenly disturbing art of a blonde woman boasting a bloody knife. While the story typically starts with a cliché and a supposed ‘love at first sight’, it slowly starts to descend into its psychological aspect the moment we delve into the male lead’s problematic backstory. His story starts a chain of depressing backstories which heavily imply that a certain blondie was toying with the male lead from the moment they met. I was introduced to the concept of psychopathy at the start of a comic called, 'It's Mine' with more or less the same backdrop. It had a different twist to it and started with the male lead being a dangerous stalker to a girl with whom he has a mysterious and disturbing connecti...

    Every good story evokes some emotions in the reader. A sad and tragic tale makes the reader cry while a happy and cheerful one makes the reader joyous and fulfilled. Authors are indeed super humans with their pens. How a trail of ink could trace the letters and words that could move a cold human heart. It takes effort to weave a tale that has interwoven strands of tragedy, happiness and comedy. Everyone loves to have a good and hearty laugh. Some people also look for tragic tales to have a good cry. Some absolutely adore a good piece of drama (I personally love drama but not in real-life). The essence of a good book lies in how much they were able to touch the reader’s emotions, how much the characters resonated with the readers. After all, all books are the results of the inspiration authors had while looking at people in real-life. Also, readers like to humorously quote that authors love killing off their characters and have a cup of tea with the devil right after wo...

People love to have a fairytale story in their lives. They love to be rich and wealthy, have a mansion full of servants, and have a beautiful partner and a circle of reliable friends. It is not a shame to imagine and wish for good things but going completely off the rails by being delusional? Now that’s an issue. Ever heard of spouses ruining families to get their hands on the ancestral wealth? Did you pay close attention to who was your truest friend when you were in despair? Did you listen to stories of people getting cursed with misfortunes because someone couldn’t handle their success? The internet shows its audience a lot of fantasies about love and friendship. It also shows its exceptions in the spotlight but we still love to wallow in our imagination about how cool would it be to marry someone rich, handsome and completely stable. Certain novels often gain recognition for their well-written side-characters or for the realistic way they handled the plot. Fantasy is good and...

    I read a lot. I stare at books and screens like a maniac until the stories are finished. This habit is shared between all two of my sisters so you can say we have a little shelf full of books that we have re-read a thousand times and still never get bored. Nowadays, I often read to get ideas for the blog and to brainstorm topics for future articles which has led me to come across an array of new words and possibilities. My pastime during the day is playing games. This particular game that I play has a very interesting plot and the characters have a very unique way of speaking. One of them really piqued my interest when she talked about a villain’s backstory through an allegory. Allegories are stuff that tell you the truth in a roundabout way, basically. I was just randomly scrolling through the web one day and found out an alternate version of Romeo and Juliet. My knowledge of this famous romantic tragedy was very limited since all I knew was that Romeo used to lik...
