ABOUT ME

Hi there... I am Monica. The person behind this blog . I was born and brought up in India and currently live in England. I am 26 years old and earn the moolah by working full time as an Interior Designer. As much as I love designing spaces , I am also a fan of stories. When I am not working, I am absorbing stories in some form or another. The main sources being Books, Movies & TV Series. I am usually drawn towards fictional stories and *coughs* characters but I do occasionally pick up a non fiction book or watch a documentary to sound smarter and seek validation during social gatherings. :P
