Food Trail #1: Chandini Chowk

Like I mentioned in a blog before, I have been grappling with writing and have diagnosed myself with writer’s block. I was hoping that writing about something I am passionate about will help and I hope I am right this time.  Delhi in winters is perfect during the day when the sun shines brightly with…

The ‘LOVE’ series

Love happens to be one of the most thought of thoughts in my head. So overthought it is that sometimes its thought drives me a lil over the edge. This love hate relationship with love is forgotten and resurrected far too often. But I have been and will always be a true believer. I haven’t…

Chennai 101: Myth & Reality

I moved to Chennai for my summer internship on 5th April 2016. As I walked out of the chilled airport, a humid breeze hit my face. My friend, who was travelling with me and already has experienced living in Chennai, saw my expression and said with a groan, “Welcome to Chennai!” I was pretty excited…

Eh? International Women’s Day!

8th March: International Women’s day! My phone started buzzing early morning with messages about the significance of women. I checked the date and realized that it was yet another ‘International Women’s Day’.  I am not a big believer of ‘this’ day. Why does one need a day to remember the importance of the women in…

I fell

I fell in love with you…. When your jokes brightened up my dark days, When we talked all night long about our lives, our dreams and the future, When I felt a tingling effect after you held my hand for the first time, When you stayed up all night to put my demons to rest,…

Love, Love, Love: Real people and their real emotions

Its less than two weeks to Valentine’s day. My head is filled with thoughts about love. In a few days from today, people will start showering each other with gifts, cards, roses, chocolates as a way to show their love to one another. A few others will watch from the sidelines,  frowning down upon this…

Weekend Getaway to Pushkar

2016 is here. I decided to begin my new year with a weekend away with my BFF. We both, being crazy about Rajasthan and culturally rich places, decided on visiting Pushkar. Most people, including our parents, were puzzled by our choice of place but we stuck to our choice. Early 1st morning, we boarded the…

New Beginnings

First post of 2016. A very very happy new year to all my readers! A new year brings with it a new beginning. I believe how you start your new year decides the course for the rest of your year. I started mine with travel (about which I shall write another blog) and I am hoping…

How far is too far….

Her heart thumped as she heard the familiar footsteps nearing the entrance of the house. She heard him hum the same hum that haunted her nightmares, as he unlocked the main door. She sat on the floor near the bed. She didn’t move or say anything as he entered the house; instead she lowered her eyes and concentrated…
