I don’t believe in making my mother feel special on just one day in the year but often I get so caught up in life that I forget to remind her of how much she means to me. So this Mother’s Day (9th May 2021) I plan to take out time to make my mum…

Sustainable Living| 10 ways to be “SUSTAINABLE” on the cheap!
I have been having a lot of conversations with my family and friends about leading a ‘sustainable’ lifestyle. The general opinion amongst them is that being sustainable is expensive in comparison to our normal way of living. For the longest time I had the same opinion because a lot of brands charge a premium from…
Short Story| Intertwined Souls
Background: I wrote this story way back in 2016. I was in college and had a crush on this boy that I just couldn’t get myself to talk to. We did talk a little but I was TOO awkward to really make a move. So I wrote this story about our awkward encounters. It is…
Another Goodbye
Her stomach lurched a little as she looked out of the plane’s tiny window. The city she had called home for the last two years sped by alongside the runway. All packed up for the next adventure, excited for the unknown that awaited her. She caught fleeting glimpses from up above of the city she…
Blogger Recommendations – Part 2
I love recommending bloggers to my followers. I’m always on the look out to find new and like minded bloggers to add to my blog fam – and sometimes they are hard to come by. I did part 1 of this a few months back and decided to do a part 2 to support the…

To The One That Got Away
To The-One-That-Got-Away, It’s Valentine’s Day soon and somehow I can’t stop thinking about how we spent it together last year. It felt like destiny (to me) that first moment our eyes met. The loud music of the party ceased to ring in my ears, all I could hear was the thumping of my heart. Flushed,…
Can You Estimate the Value of Relationships?
I’ve often wondered if we can estimate the value of the many relationships we have through our lives – relationships with family, friends, partners, colleagues, your organization? How do you know if you’re getting into something that is worth your while and energy? How do we estimate the value of relationships? How much you give…
My Playlist – Valentine’s Day Edition
Disclaimer: None of these are very new songs – I just find old songs that make me feel something and listen to them on repeat. I don’t really believe in celebrating Valentine’s day but I just am in a mood right now for romantic songs, books and movies, so I’m blaming it on V Day!…
Book Review| The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
I can’t think of a suitable opening line to review this astounding piece of art that is the book ‘The Song of Achilles’. I am in LOVE – with the book, the story, the narration, the plot line – all of it! I haven’t been the biggest fan of mythology for most of my life…
