If someone would have said to me that i will be spending my April holidays stuck at home, I would have laughed! But here I am, sitting at home, not been out in over 2 weeks, while the world outside fights the pandemic. It made me realise that I should journal my days as it…

End of a Decade
This year marked the last year of the “teens” in our living memory. For me personally it was year of growth and crystallising how I see my life going forward. It was the year I saw mortality as a very clear destination which brought home the fact that time is transient…living every moment is the…
Growing up with sustainability

Number 42 – Publish a book
I love writing, I have since I was young. I used to love to concoct stories (I still do) and either find someone who I could share, mostly my younger siblings or cousins, or use them in my class writing assignments.

Food diary – Mathri
When I was a young girl, I used to visit my nanihaal in Jaipur every year in school holidays. My mum, an only daughter, is very close to her brothers and mother. So this was our yearly pilgrimage. We never used to go anywhere else but Jaipur. But those were simpler times before the internet….
Number 41 – Join a random book club
I love books! I have grown up spending hours in a library or sitting at home reading away! So the idea of a book club excites me! Saying that I have never found one…..i have tried starting one too but with no luck. So it is my utmost desire to join a book club –…
