2019 – Looking back on 2018

Hi Reader, First blog post of 2019 and my first blog post in a long time. Honestly, I’ve found it very hard to write for the last few months. I did start writing 8-9 blogs but never got to completing them. Sometimes even when you have ideas and want to write, words evade you. Here’s…

Mumbai dreams #2: Two weeks down

Yayay, I’ve completed two weeks in the city of dreams! Am I closer to achieving my dreams? Maybe! I haven’t had much time to explore the city yet (thanks to my super busy schedule in office). But I did manage to get out a little and see a few places. Let’s start with my top…

Book Review#2: The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad by Twinkle Khanna

I’m on a roll with my reading. I’m through with two books in less than a week. Some of it can be attributed to the fact that this second book, that I am attempting to review today, was actually a really light read. I haven’t been a big fan of Indian authors, so my picking…

Book Review#1: Last Man in Tower by Aravind Adiga

Till about 2 years back, I used to read about 50+ books a year. Reading was a habit inculcated in me when I was much younger. By the time my age had reached the double digits, I used to devour books. My mum is an English teacher which probably explains my reading habit. I would…

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…

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…

The End

He took one last look at what he had written. His palms were sweaty and his heart beat raced. He put the pen down and looked around. Nothing felt real anymore. He felt like he was being pulled back into reality. He realized that the effect of the drugs was wearing off. He had to…

Ten things I hate about you

The hit 90s movie, ’10 things I hate about you’ was a classic high school romance and one of my favourite movies. The movie has an impassioned poem by a hurt and much in love young girl, a poem that I love. The poem shares the movie’s title. 10 things I hate about you I…

25 years and counting

I turn 25 next week. 25. Wow. That’s old. Really old. A quarter of a century. When I was growing up, people always said older is wiser. I am growing older but I don’t think I am any wiser. I still make the same mistakes. I still fall. I still get hurt. I still get…
