Monsoon In My City

I love rainy season. It feels like the entire world around is getting cleansed for a new start. When I was younger I always connected rains with romance. In school, my friends and I would sing romantic songs, get drenched in the rain and discuss our crushes. When I was even younger, I loved splashing…

What Is In My Cycling Bag?

I’ve recently started cycling every day to build my stamina and get in that exercise. I only manage to do about 10Kms every session but I’m hoping that will improve with time. I end up carrying a light but loaded bag with me when I go cycling. So what is in this cycling bag? 1….

Dating Life: Things I Don’t Want In A Man

I had a whole other post scheduled to be posted today but I needed to vent about a bad date I went on recently (read as: last night). I understand that not all dates amount to something and I only ever write about really bad dates or really good dates – cause the ones in…

5 Thoughts I have While Using Dating Apps

I hate dating apps just cause I find that being active on dating apps is a lot of effort. The type of effort I just don’t feel like putting in right now. Why can’t I just meet someone at a coffee shop or at a party or at a bookstore? Oh right, I hate going…

Things That Started Happening With Me Once I Turned Thirty

Yes. I’m ancient. So ancient that my bones creek. Some mornings I wake up feeling like an Egyptian mummy – wrapped up tightly in my sheet (because the AC feels too cold even at 28deg), my bones old and threatening to fall apart from the smallest movement. I am a thirty one year old. *Sigh*…

Beinaheleiden Schaftsgegenstand

I’ve been rewatching ‘How I Met Your Mother’ over the past few weeks. I first started watching it almost a decade back, as a single 20-year-old, wondering why Ted wasn’t just able to find love when it was the one thing he wanted so bad. As much as I related to his dating fails, I…

A Farewell Letter To My Best Friend

Hi T, According to the Oxford dictionary, ‘farewell’ is used to express good wishes on parting. While parting is difficult in most relationships, it is even more difficult when you part ways with your best friend of 15 years. We met when we were 12 years old. At that point in time, I never saw…

How I Deal With Anxiety On A Daily Basis

I recently did a post on how anxiety impacts my daily life and a lot of you asked me about how I deal with it. While therapy is the key to dealing with anxiety, there are multiple things I do on a daily basis to help me cope with my day-to-day anxiety. These aren’t things…

My May Shopping List

When May started, I challenged myself to stick to a budget this month. If you’ve been following me for a bit, you might know that I’ve started my own small business which means that I’m practically living off of my savings (and crashing at my parent’s home). I’m also trying to be more sustainable and…

Old Shoes Wear Best – Spring Cleaning

I spent the weekend doing what I called “spring cleaning” though we’re deep into summer here in New Delhi. It just felt like what a “main character” from a movie would do. I finally got to sorting through some of the shoes that I wear regularly. Weirdly, I get sentimentally attached to some clothes and…
