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…
What is in my Book Bag – May Reads
I had high expectations that I’d end up reading at least 5 books this month because I read the first three books by the 15th of May. But then came that lull that accompanies a slow read and I lost my pace. I did end up reading 4 books this month which is my monthly…
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…
It Is A Beautiful World, uhh, Patriarchal World
Note: This post has been in writing for a while now. I wrote some bits of it a year back but never completed it. It is a long post. These are some snippets from some of the conversations I have on a daily basis as a small business owner. Most vendors I interact with assume…
My First Love
Disclaimer: This is a very random post and not sponsored. 😛 The year was 2011. My family and I were travelling through Egypt. Our tour stopped at a local bazaar for shopping. As we scrutinized the shops wondering where we should go with all the vendors trying to catch our attention, we heard the words…
An Adult’s List of Favourite Animated Movies
The first animated movie I saw was the original Lion King. I remember howling through bits of the movie. The first animated movie I saw in the hall was Toy Story and I was sold! I am not big on movies anymore. The only genres of movies I watch are – horror and animated. While…
