My birthday month has always been special and for the past few years I have tried to do something different every year. From completing the A to Z blog challenge last year to wearing sarees everyday in 2020, I love doing fun things to make my birthday month memorable. This year I did the Blog…

Day 30 – From Pinterest to Reality
I struggled with this one as I do like to check out Pinterest, mostly for home decor and recipes. But I never copy things, which means that my reality is always different from Pinterest.

Day 17 – Guilty Pleasure
Now this is a great blog post to write. I am full of guilty pleasures and I am happy to own up to them too! My top guilty pleasure would be Indian fast food – I can gobble it any time of the day. Pakode, samose, chaat, momos, chow mein- you name it! I love…
Day 9 – My Life Motto
Just like life, what you pursue in life keeps changing too. How you grow, the events in life change as time passes and that means your life motto shifts too.

J – Joy
J will always be for joy for me! Joy is that elated feeling, the unencumbered happiness that makes all your senses go fully alive. Experiencing sheer joy is a kind of meditation. You feel alive, in touch with your being and close to your spiritual self. In one of my favourite movies, Zindagi Na Milegi…
D – Dream
D is to Dream. Dreams are the first step to define our destiny. When I was young, I was told again and again to not day dream as it is for the lazy. I don’t agree with it. My dreams helped me in defining what I wanted in life. Your dreams do change as we…
Day 5 – A book that makes me happy
I have a lot of feel good books – books that make me feel warm, fuzzy and happy! Most of these books are human stories having a happy ending. There are some authors who write happy books. They are called chick-lit, light, airy books, good for a read on the beach or on holidays. I…
