a memoir of etchings and wanderings
Travel! Now this is what I call exciting content. Ah, the thought is so refreshing. It has not even been a month that I’ve been back from my American vacation and am already itching to pack my bags and set off on another trip! In my mind, there are two distinct travel to-do lists. One is the achievable list and the other is the aspirational. But this post is about … Continue reading “Day 11# Wanderlust” →
Personally, I have never really had a problem with public display of emotions. So this one is pretty easy – and actually, pending for a while. Today’s challenge is to write about a blogger friend or a real life friend. I’m blessed to know both in one person. My first memory of her is one at the SIMC campus in Lavale, getting off a four-wheel drive with her iPod shuffle … Continue reading “Day 5# My Friend, the Blogger.” →
This post is supposed to be about something that I know a lot about or am good at. At the cost of shedding the modesty – apart from my job (which I used to be and am, quite excellent at), I have varied interests. And thanks to Wikipedia and my reading addiction, I happen to learn a lot of things. I’d like this opportunity to talk about one of them, … Continue reading “Day 2# What do you know. What have you learnt.” →
So it has been a week that I returned from the States and I’m not even close to wearing off the jet lag. Now that I’m actually feeling more like myself, an account is necessary. So where shall I start… Reetika, Richa and I know each other from the time that we went to college at SCMS-UG – around the time that the iPod classic first generation was in vogue. Through … Continue reading “The American Sojourn!” →
Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better, to paint a picture or write a letter, bake a cake or plant a seed, ponder the difference between want and need? Dust if you must, but there’s not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead. Dust if you must, but the world’s out … Continue reading “Dust, If You Must.” →
This little island off the coast of Mexico has been on my radar for a while. Ask me why? Because it is a part of the planet where nature puts up a spectacular display that is not only immensely fascinating, but ethereal. Swimming with whale sharks. That’s what these Mexican waters have in store. Before you shake your head thinking that this is one of those things you’ve seen on … Continue reading “Isla Mujeres” →
So, I’ve refrained from writing about my upcoming trip because I have seen so many such well planned occasions sink into nothingness. But two weeks away from landing into New York City, I think I’m ready. My Google Drive has never had more documents, the WhatsApp icon the phone seldom stops buzzing owing to the group chat and my inbox is spotted with purple stars. Yes, I’m good to go. Air … Continue reading “May In The Big Apple!” →
The small wonders of life constantly surprise me. I still smile thinking of how worried I was about moving to Delhi at the end of my post graduation. Little did I know that these would be some of the best years of my life. Like I always maintain, the people matter most and this post is about one of the most amazing people who I came into close acquaintance with, during … Continue reading “The Korba Wedding.” →
Apart from the weddings, this was the part of the trip I was most looking forward to. Never thought I would be this excited to be back in Delhi NCR. My time spent there was the nicest among all the days. This is what I did: # Got a haricut. At Bella Madonna, Galleria. Loved it. # Had breakfast by myself at my most favourite place in Gurgaon – Sakley’s … Continue reading “Dilli In Transit” →
If I were to ever believe that matches were made in heaven, I would always think of these two. They’re both very different people, yet as similar as can be. The thought of moving to Gurgaon, a few years ago was made a comforting thought because I knew they would be around, in addition to other friends. And they did just that. Made me feel welcome in their city, gave … Continue reading “SwethaBasu” →
