Then I divided it up and started to write each chapter. I wrote my first draft so fast that I didn't get a chance to face the writer's block. My only worry was to get enough time in a day to write. The hard part came after that - to close any holes in the story and to develop some of the characters further. That's when I realized editing the draft over and over again was not fun. So, I asked a friend to read it and provide an opinion. That gave me a reason to keep editing the book.(less)

Ten Years to Goodbye

Ten years. That’s how long I sat with this book. Or rather, how long I avoided it.

"Parts of Living is a quiet, introspective read that stayed with me after I finished it. Meera’s routine-driven life, her medical diagnosis, and her struggle with the idea of continuing all felt painfully human without becoming overly dramatic.

Parts of Living by Sindhura Chamala
"When a book begins with a hitting line like, “So what's my drug? It's imagination. I crave living inside my mind,” you know there is something extraordinary waiting for you to explore. And this is exactly what 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 by Sindhura Chamala does" Read more of this review »

"There are people who look lonely.



And then there are people who have become so good at living alone that nobody thinks to ask if they are lonely.



Meera is one of them.

Gregory David Roberts
“For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love; the passionate search for truth other than our own. With longing; the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on.”
― Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

Guy Finley
“What's the first sign of a lurking, hidden expectation you didn't know you had? Pain! People don't do what we want, things don't happen quickly enough, the weather doesn't cooperate, our bodies don't cooperate. Why are these moments so painful? Because our minds are focused on a static, unchanging, me-centric picture while the dynamic unfolding of a broader life continues around us. There is nothing wrong with expectations per se, as it's appropriate to set goals and work, properly, towards their fruition. But the instant we feel pain over life not going "my way," our expectations have clearly taken an improper turn. Any moment you feel resistance or pain, look for -- and then let go of -- the hidden expectation. Practice giving yourself over to what "you" don't want. Let the line at the store be long. Let the other person interrupt you. Let the nervousness make you shake. Be where your body is, not where your mind is trying to take you.”
― Guy Finley

Robert Jordan
“Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.”

Marilyn Monroe
“I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.”
