It’s been exactly 1 year since I last wrote here on my blog. Yes, it feels surreal to say that this is “My” blog. The last year has been a rollercoaster for me mentally, physically and emotionally. So many things revealed and so many things realized in just 365 days.  Coming back here and writing this makes me feel like two wings coming out ready to take me away from everything. It’s not exaggeration, but my love for these words that gives my life a meaning.  I don’t how it happened, but this one year without writing I never felt like my own. By profession I am a writer, but the libe ..read more

It is so reassuring when you get someone to say that “I’ll be there for you”. I know these are just words, but when your world is crashing down all you need is someone to come and say this. It gives a ray of hope that everything will be alright and you will again rule your life.  Since 1994, a group of 6 friends has been there for us virtually to make us feel good in a crappy world. Your job might be a joke or you might feel stuck in second gear, but there will always be people in your life who will say “I’ll be there for you”.  It was 5 years ago I started watching Friends to get ov ..read more

I turned 24th on 15th January and got a little closer to the age where people will start asking me about my future plans. Not my career plans, but my wedding plans. Because a girl going close to 25 gives all the people a definite right to ask when I am getting married. (Gritting my teeth) Oops, sorry for the sudden outburst but actually it was my frustration talking. Anyway, a little hint about me is that I am always super excited about my birthdays. And just like every year, the universe conspired the best plans for me to celebrate my special day with special people.  But don’t worr ..read more

Travel gives a different meaning to our life. Don’t you think? When I took my first trip it gave me a sense of freedom and ignited that free spirit inside me. But what I love the most about traveling is to get close to the local culture of the place. This includes exploring the food culture of a particular place and also know different stories from the locals. Boy, they have many, and it’s very interesting to know that there is so much to see and learn beyond our 4×4 cubicles at work.  So to give a highlight to my food tour experience from my last trip, I am listing down the best places t ..read more

Hey you, welcome back! In the middle of this pandemic, there have been so many days where I just wanted to block out everyone and sit in a corner doing nothing. I was tired and wanted some peace from all the stress of work from home and anxiety from the pandemic. Just in time, I came across this amazing range of essential oils by Vasu Healthcare. This was my first time using the essential oils and I must say it had been an amazing experience. I just think that where was this magic potion all this while. If you’re thinking about what is essential oil, then here is your answer. Essential oils ar ..read more

Ping!  5 people liked your picture.  Someone just followed you!  Your post is doing great!  Are you familiar with these uninvited notifications which pop up in your phone to remind you that your Instagram is missing you? Well, I am sure you are totally nodding your head and saying a big yes. Being the ever-so-updated millennials, we never want to miss out on what’s going out there around the world. And to keep us stay updated 24*7, social media is our guardian angel.  But we never think that how much downhill, this “on-screen 24*7 attitude” takes us. Yes, being a socia ..read more

People who know me well have an idea about my extreme love for the mountains. 2019 was quite a good year in terms of traveling, but 2020 didn’t start with the same zeal. But I managed to plan my first trip to Manali just before the worldwide lockdown. This was my second time here and this place never fails to surprise me. The last time I came here was on a college trip and honestly, I have explored not even one-fourth of the place. There are so many things to do in Manali which I have missed the last time.  But this time I was all prepared and didn’t want to waste any second thinking whil ..read more

Whenever I am sitting ideally staring at the ceiling, I often think why do I love mountains more than beaches? Like seriously, I can revisit a place a thousand times if it is located at an altitude and surrounded by mighty peaks. That’s how much I love the mountains. And here again, listening to my “Kamzor Dil” and watching Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani for the 100th time, I convinced my mind to plan a trip to Manali. Yes! My 2020 started yet again with Himachal Pradesh and I can’t stress enough but I needed a real break. This trip was planned after almost 6 months and you can understand how much st ..read more

It’s been more than 3 months now that the entire world has come to a standstill due to the Coronavirus. There was a time when only China was in the news for being hit by this deadly virus. But slowly and gradually, every corner of the world got trapped underneath the wrath of this unseen demon. We might think that this lockdown has stopped our daily life routine, but actually, it has given us a new perspective towards our life.  It has made us become self-reliant and given us time to stop and look back to the life we have taken for granted. If we keep the stress of staying at home aside f ..read more

This is one of the best times of the year when every house I come across dazzles with lights and the festivity can be felt everywhere. Diwali is the time when people spend time with their families, every house is filled with sweets and of course, the cleaning movement of the year is at full swing. But alongside that, the crackers also held a special place in every house until the past few years. Due to pollution people have started refraining from bursting crackers and lookout for other ways to spend this festival of lights. I was never the person who liked bursting crackers, but there are oth ..read more
