Barnali Roy

I left a successful corporate career in HR and teaching, to focus on my first love - writing. My first book of short stories - Pebbles in the Sand, is available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.in/dp/939283022X?ref=myi_title_dp) I pour out my feelings and views in my blogs covering diverse niches, ranging from food and health, to travel, entertainment, style and fashion, self-improvement, motivation, socio-political issues, and mental wellness. My loves are cinema, food, solving crosswords and travelling. I have been married for over two decades, and stay with my hubby and daughter in Kolkata. If my stories can help you heal, I have earned my satisfaction.

Sugar-coated Misogyny,  Anyone? Here\’s a snapshot of the latest Bollywood romcom – Tu Jhoothi, Main Makkar. Handsome, rich, pampered boy – running a breakup business on the sly, meets pretty young thing, who is obviously a boozing, philandering, commitment-phobic, ambitious, career-minded creature, who doesn\’t believe in \”saving herself for the right man\”. Stereotyping, anyone? She […]
