Isn’t it weird that people think blue stands for sadness? On a blue sunny day, sitting on a ferry across an endless blue river, under a sapphire blue sky; Blue is the epitome of calm, blue is endless, blue is happiness. Blue is my life.

Falling in love
People accuse me of falling in love easily. It just means that I’m able to see the beauty in most of the people who cross paths with me and I appreciate it for what it is and also for what it isn’t. Love is imperfect. Falling for someone’s flaws is just as necessary as falling…

I spend most of my time wondering if I should be somewhere else. So I have learned to shape the words thank you with my first breath each morning, my last breath every night. When the last breath comes, at least I will know I was thankful for all the places I was so sure…
#SorryNotSorry
Don’t let people tell you that you can’t do something. Never believe that you are any less of a person simply because you don’t fit the mould of what everyone thinks is the norm. Anyone can travel and should travel, just because you are fat doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! The sky is not…
Majuli Maybe?
Sometimes you feel like you are going no where and maybe that’s the best place to find yourself. Roaming with people, and I do mean roaming not just travelling, gives you a real sense of who they are; because they can no longer pretend after a while. There is only the truth. In the most…

An ode to the sudden sobering realisation of being old…
I have always been a wanderer. The thing is that I love travelling but even more than that, I love coming home. Home, at least for me is not a place, it is any place where my people are or any place that gives the feeling of belonging.. I have never been attached to…
Life lessons from Maya Angelou
I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that…
5 minutes from everything..
When you’re just a little lonely and all you really need is for someone to pay attention and tell you you’re beautiful; you realise that Pune is home.
Pune is home because you are 5 minutes away from everything…
Tamhini
As long as I live, I’ll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing.
