Sophie and the mirror..
The flowers had started to bloom. Sophie looked on each side observing the colors of the different flowers and soaking in all the happiness she could. She decides to sit for a while under the shade of the tree. Settling down,her hands felt something strange on the ground. She picks it up to find a […]

An innocent blackmail
Think again. I won’t allow you to watch TV. I won’t let you watch Doraemon or Pokémon.

An Unsolved Mystery :D
Language, considered to be the most common way to communicate and converse. When left to a completely new place without the fluency of the local language, it leads to a fear for survival and the dire need to know the basics. It has been no different for me. I’ve always dreamt spending my time in […]

Her first solo travel!
She looked at her watch again. It was half past 12. She had been standing at that place for more than an hour. Still there was no sign of the bus that would have taken her home. Her school had closed earlier than expected, that’s when she decided to take the public transport instead of […]

Merry Christmas
The best thing about Christmas for me has always been eagerly waiting for the day and enjoying that feeling of hope than the Christmas day itself. The heart feels lighter, there is so much happiness around and to look forward to. This year was no less. My day always started with Christmas carol songs by […]

Silence
A man whom I will call Akash, came rushing with a suitcase in his hands. Behind him was a young woman, let’s call her Vidya. He checked for their seat which turned out to be next to me. Seeing me, I could sense that he was very relieved. He started inquiring my destination. I said, […]

Waah Taj
This was my third visit to Agra. The first time I visited was 4 years ago. Then and now, my love for this place still remains as is. What changed is probably the surroundings and the state of this place. This time due to pollution – all the pictures I took were blur, but does […]

Happy Thanksgiving Day
I haven’t been as active as I used to be these days on WordPress. While going through my notifications I realized, I have 840+ fellow-bloggers who have been supporting my page. First of all, I feel guilty for not being able to stay updated on all the recent posts. I promise I’ll catch-up soon 🙂 […]

Look closer
There was a 2.5 hours halt at the Black Sea which was part of our Sile-Agva Bus Tour. Sufficient time probably for people who wanted to enjoy the beach. But when we reached the place, there were two sides to it – one that was too crowded and the other one quieter. We had already […]

When the lights go out
I woke up to the sounds of birds chirping. I thought to myself, what time is it? Is it morning already, time to wake up? The chirping seemed closer now, and I was sitting on my bed looking for where it came from. From a little hole on the wall, came a flock birds rushing […]

An experience at TEDxGurugram
When I was discussing TED talks during a coffee break with my friends, little did we know that we were only hours away from witnessing one for ourselves. The theme for this year’s TEDxGurugram was “LEVEL UP”. With 8 speakers and 200 attendees, the event was a perfect opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds. […]

Am I dreaming?
While serving on the board of our organization’s Employee Resources Group, I was always on the lookout of great speakers whom we could invite for speaker series. From Srijan Pal Singh (Founder & CEO), Kalam Center, to National Award winners Shasha Tirupathi and Ashish Vidhyarthi. What this gave me was access to amazing people whose […]

Shimla
Visiting a new city is like meeting a new person. From the moment I land, I am in conversation with everything I see or encounter. To me, it’s more than just checking off something from my bucket list. When I am there I want to make the most out of each moment. It feels like […]

A re-introduction –
Couple of weeks ago, I got an opportunity or rather I would say, I took the opportunity to attend a workshop, that was themed as “Partnering with Life” As the name itself speaks, the workshop was all about embracing life by adding different flavors to the way we approach it. Not a new concept! Isn’t […]

Does that happen with you?
A few years ago, I remember what a huge fan I was of Don Moen‘s songs. Each song I heard him sing was like a divine voice talking to me. But today, it has become different. No matter how much I try, I don’t feel the same now. This was just one instance. Same goes […]

An encounter with old world charm
To escape the heat, I was looking to hire a taxi or an auto-rickshaw as soon as possible. But, the roads were already deserted with just a few people here and there. Standing on the road side, I was kind of getting impatient. I finally decided to take a metro which was at a walking […]

Paradise
From a jampacked schedule during my travel to Kerala last year end, I was fortunate for getting the opportunity to visit new places. One of which was this beach in Thrissur. What I expected and what I found was completely different. A serene and beautiful place where you can be with yourself.

No less than a musical event!
She studied all corners of the small clinic. The walls had been converted into shelves housing all kinds of medicines. In between, lay a table and few chairs for the patients and visitors. Dr. Ryan was attending to a patient. She took a corner seat, anxious and worried, for the purpose of her visit was […]

Koonan Kurishu Old Syrian Church
During my visit to Kerala, one of my relatives took us to the St George Orthodox Koonan Kurishu Old Syrian Church, popularly known as ‘Koonan Kurishu Pazhaya Suriyani Palli’, which is situated in Mattancherry, Kochi. When I thought about the visit to a church, I was expecting a very common structure. But I was surprised […]

Travel clicks
Despite of all the rush, happy to have found opportunities to go back to my childhood memories.. Counting the little chicks, or chasing them alongwith Grandma.. Life was so careless back then, though it’s only now we realize.

A Silent Night
Christmas brings to me beautiful memories from my childhood. Known to be an average student during my school days, getting an entry into a school activity was always hard to believe. The first one to name was preparing for a Christmas carol along with a group of 20 more kids from my class. We were […]

Let it be..
It was my first visit to this church. But something went wrong with the timing and I was late in reaching for the Holy Mass. I lit a candle and prayed and was appreciating the person who would have kept the bouquet. The sight itself was so peaceful. I was rushing to leave for another […]

A new city
I moved to a new city recently. Having spent most of my life in one city, thinking about a change was a difficult decision to make. But what comes with it is a whole new set of challenges, adventures and experiences of a lifetime. Here’s a capture from my new home. The shining sun, the […]

What makes me happy
When there is love, it brightens up everything around you. Flowers are perfect example of an outcome of love. More because of the patience and care that goes into growing the plants that bloom one day and spreads happiness.

Sea-Prayer
Here’s mine. What an amazing way to pay tribute to Alan Kurdi, and to the many refugee children who are caught in the trap of homelessness. It’s unimaginable what they are going through and the efforts required to rebuild their lives for a better future. “Sea Prayer” made me play a small part in redefining […]

Food for thought…
Last weekend, after lunch I stopped by the Belgian Waffle to buy waffles for my niece and nephew. Going through the menu and deciding what to buy is always a pain with the fancy names. So I decided to go by the pictures and whatever looked best. Since it was a takeaway, I had to […]

I’m watching you..
An off from work on a weekday is truly a bliss. I slept like a log the entire day. It’s when I woke up in the evening, I realized how much I was deprived of sleep. I made myself some coffee and as usual sat down to relax in my small balcony garden. It was […]
