Installing on my phone now... Let's see how much worth it is...

What is your twitter id?
Gehna and Arpit, what about yours?

Congrats,Ann!:) This seems fun. I'll definitely participate! ^^

My handle is @GoldenScribbler.
:)

Mine is @arpitzain .

Mine is @phaniraj_l

@Gehna: I always thought that Gehna is your nick name or some thing you uses on goodreads. So its your real name!!!Wow!!

@phaniraj_I Connected with you.

As for Gehna, I thought the same. It's an unusual but nice name.
Although she is not fond of jewellery, is she?

Don't think so...But don't know many girls who love reading as much as her...so can't really guess.

Yesterday, I was just walking while browsing on Goodreads and got the exactly same question as you...Talk about coincidence!!!

Lol guys :P
Yes that is my real name. Gehna Kapoor.
As for that jewellery question. Not really. My dad had decided this name even before my elder brother was born hoping his firstborn to be a girl. I am sure he was disappointed when my brother was born xD

You really are from a rare kind who love books more than jewellery, to come across in real life...
