Today, we have our ‘Premium Blogger‘, Shivya Nath picks up the best 7 blog posts that she thought was worthy of being a Tangy Tuesday Pick. This is what she has to say, ‘This week’s Tangy Tuesday Picks are a mix of light- hearted rants and seemingly taboo topics plaguing the Indian society. Grab coffee and a sandwich, and read these bloggers as their words entangle you into a web of thoughts.’
