“Seeing is Believing” - Can we believe whatever we see? Sometimes we have too, that’s why life is Not Totally Unbelievable. Vibhuti Bhandarkar (Vibz), my bloggerdost, and my first critique, is a graphic designer by profession and blogger by passion. She is a prolific writer and avid reader. And she published her first book titled “Not Totally Unbelievable” – a collection of short stories. (PS: Vibz, I expected a short story of type Maiden Over)
About her - in her words:
“I'm an artist but writing is my passion, hence I blog! I'm humble, little ME, revelling in my own sweet world! There are many a dreams to realize and many beautiful things to do... There's one life to live and that's exactly WHAT I DO! :D”
Having read her blog for more than two years, I find the book very interesting.
The cover of the book is refreshing for the readers and invites to read it at a go, probably when you sip a cup of coffee. The title of the stories says it all and the stories have all the elements of life. The highlights are the character sketches, the details that make the stories alive and the plot. The stories have a positive vibe to inspire the readers and every story is unique in its own say. I will pick, “At the Lingnan Tea House”, “Trekking through time”, “Unheard” and “A little thing called love” as my personal favourite. The author’s effort to make the book simple and thoughtful is commendable. Totally, this book is a perfect read.
I really do not have any complaints against this book other than the cost of the book because it is a bit small compared to some of the other books available in the market at the same price (Rs 95). But that’s ok because one can afford a little more for a perfect read. Usually, I rate the books I read, but it is impossible to rate your bloggerdost book.
And, “Congratulations to you on your first attempt as a budding writer. I look forward to read your novel soon Vibz.”

Once an unknown cartoonist was fired by a newspaper editor because he lacked imagination and had no good ideas; later that cartoonist went on to win 26 OSCARS, establishing the world largest production house – THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY & DISNEYLAND. A book written by a unknown, poor, severely depressed author and was rejected by 12 publishers before being published; later that book made her the richest woman in England; even richer than the QUEEN OF ENGLAND. A young kid scored a duck in his first two matches, and didn’t score a century for the next 76 matches; later that kid went on to score HUNDRED CENTURIES which is humanly impossible; he is known as ‘God of Cricket’ and the list goes on. It is basically, ‘what man can do and what a man cannot do,’ so dream and chase your dreams, one day you will achieve it. All you need is a stage, search for a stage, give your best, I'm sure you can win! ‘Never give up! Battle until you breathes your last.’
Inspired by the people mentioned above I thought, ‘Why not to give life to my dream characters?’ and the result is my blog. Usually I will end up saying, ‘It was a dream!’, but this time my characters are leading a real life in the virtual world, ‘Internet!’
Sid – a facebook addict and Isha too; two strangers from different parts of the world get to know about each other through Facebook and they fall in love madly. How it had happened? A story narrated through facebook status messages, first of its kind; enjoy!
PS: Usually, the timeline feature displays from latest to oldest, but in this story, it's reversed, just to keep the grip. Please imagine that you are reading this post on June 25, 2012 and enjoy! Yet another tale of Sid and Isha from my pen!
