Where
do I even begin to describe this book. It is a fascinating (yet
disturbing) book, based on a true story which will literally give you
creeps. It did, to me. This is a story of an American woman, Betty
who goes to Iran with her (Iranian) husband to meet his family but
soon finds out that her husband won't return back to American and
neither would he let her and their daughter back. It is a story of
her struggles, the cultural difference she faces especially when she
never even imagined herself or her daughter ever being there.
The
book is very well written. It makes you feel as if you are a part of
it, like a passerby looking at what all is happening and before you
even know, you start praying for things to happen a certain way. You
can't wait for the book to finish, not because you lose interest in
it, but you just get very curious to know what happens to her and
struggles to keep herself and her daughter safe.
A
must read.

Favorite Song- Mitti di Khushboo by Ayushmann Khurana
I have always been a fan of Ayushmann's singing ever since his first song came out (Paani da rang).
I have had this song on my repeat list ever since i have heard it. A brilliantly pictured, composed and sung song!
Favorite Movie- Khoobsoorat
I am not a fan of Sonam Kapoor and that is the only reason i did not watch "Khoobsoorat" until i heard everyone raving about it. And i must confess, I loved the movie (though i found Sonam Kapoor to be very annoying) but I choose to ignore it. The movie was a typical Disney movie and instant mood lifter. Fawad Khan was good.
Favorite Food-
Ah! Now comes my favorite question. Hehehehe... It is very difficult for someone like me (who is a foodie to the deepest of core) to choose one dish to be a favorite. But i have still found out the answer. It is Grilled Chicken with Porcini Mushroom Sauce at Mocha. Oh my god! It is one of the most deliciously and juciest grilled chicken i have ever had. I do not like mushrooms, but this mushroom sauce is simply yummy. So if you are in Chandigarh, do visit the Courtyard in Elante Mall. There is seating outside as well as inside, but i always prefer to sit outside.
Favorite Drink-
I am a BIG coffee lover (as if you didn't know). So i like to visit various cafes and try their coffees. This month i came across Dunkin Donuts' Cappuccino. After Cafe Coffee Day's and Starbuck's Cappuccino, this is the best one i have had in a long time. And since the weather is now getting a little cold, it tastes even better when i and my brother go for a coffee after dinner on his bullet. :D
Favorite Quote-
I have always lived by this quote "Everything happens for a reason." Favorite Game-
Candy Crush Saga is my favorite game. But I am almost at the end of Temple Run 2 and therefore i keep playing it day in and day night to complete its last objective i.e. "Infinirunner- 10,000,000 lifetime meters" and I have covered 8,984,519 meters. Crazy, right?
