Saw this girl's interview on CNN-IBN, where she was talking about her book and her blog. Apparently, she has been blogging for years about her life. She talks about everything including family and friends, work, woman's issues, politics, love life, sex life etc. Having seen the show.. she does look pretty (not in this photo), I decided to visit her blog, the Compulsive Confessor. After an initial read around the posts flagged with "sex and dating", I gave the rest of the posts a thorough read. Her posts are funny and entertaining. I do find her trumpeting every now and then about her drinking habits, parties (pahtays), sex life (sometimes feels like somebody else's experience quoted as her own) etc. That's ok really. We are all allowed to say we caught a bigger fish than we did. After all, it makes the story more exciting, doesn't it? They enjoy it, you enjoy it, so whats wrong... anyway ok upto a point (Example :- "I caught Moby Dick" is not on!!)
A lot of people criticise her work and say it reads like a softcore porn. She is quite temperamental for a journalist / writer... one post called her many critics "Trolls" with nothing better to do. I don't think her posts are softcore (I would know). It is a girl's blog. If a girl was open and did not feel threatened to speak her mind, her blog would read like this to varying degrees both up and down.
The idea for the blog and her just released book, "You Are Here" may be a copy of Bridget Jones' Diary (Bollywood is famous for this... and the girl is from Mumbai) but the contents are original and hers.
