There are people who we know from others. They are not friends but friends of friends. Though we do not get a chance to connect with these people, we feel we know them. Someone I ‘knew’ recently left our world for his last travel. He was my age. Young, if I may say so. He … More Life, death and in between
Solo traveling. The world is talking about it and more women than men are exploring it. There are blogs and travel stories describing a walk in the mountains or quaint cafes overlooking snow-capped mountains. Of unexplored locations, JOMO (joy of missing out) and where English is a foreign language. There are personal stories and lessons … More The solo traveler I am not
This started with a chat. Can you believe where all they have put in the DM thing? Those instant messages where we want to sum up lives but end up wishing if we could meet and talk like we used to in the past. DR and I have known each other for over 10 years now … More 20s Vs 30s
Yes, #metoo. I hadn’t thought about writing this down but then what’s truth is truth. And since when non-acceptance became the truth? On my Facebook timeline this month, many of my friends and connections shared their #metoo stories. All were scary and disturbing. One more than the other. I read them all but did not … More It’s true, #metoo
She made me smile that evening. I wasn’t expecting her and it would have been okay if she hadn’t showed up. She is honest and regular and I have never had a doubt on her work. To add to that, some times I tell her to take a day off if she wants. I also … More She made me smile
Varied thoughts about living and dying have always crossed my mind. Though death is inevitable and unpredictable, loss of life of loved ones is something that can keep me up at night. I am grateful to the life I have got and that’s why I am scared of dying. I don’t want to let go … More On living and dying
Writing letters and expressing my love for our friendship came easily to me. She was my friend ever since I came into this world. We had a lot of connections between us. Some destined and some planned. I had heard her name a hundred times even before we met at the age of seventeen. We … More I am sorry for what I did not say
This is how I walked into the ocean that afternoon. Smiling, ready and prepared to dive. Scuba diving is not something you get to do on every trip and thinking of that, I had convinced myself that I’ll give it a try. I had read a bit online, spoken to a few friends who had … More A dive to remember
I have a repeat alarm on my phone and it has been set up for thirty minutes before the time I want to get up. Why? I want to be able to hit snooze, talk some sense into my sleepy mind and prepare myself to get up and get going. Does it work? Yes. On … More Did you hit snooze this morning?
Growing up, Christmas meant cakes and winter vacations. I loved that our school used to be closed for good fifteen days and gave us time to unwind. Of course, it meant homework but I never complained. All I wanted was to be home in such cold weather. The winter solstice, the fog around, and that … More Let’s #UnwrapChristmas with the joy of giving
