The best part about being a child is that you are expected to be childish and childlike. Playing is an activity that your life actually depended on. Today, when I see a playground with kids having fun, I have my pangs of jealousy and longing. Not that I can’t go down a slide, the problem…

The Prodigal Daughter
Today is the 97th birth anniversary of Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi, the sole heir of the first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. She was the first Female Prime Minister in India and second in the world. She held the place longer than any of her female contemporaries in the world (three terms between 1966 and 77…
Trolling Away
I like trolls, they are said to ward off evil spirits. But to me they just look cute. While these form a part of Scandinavian Folk Tales, (I haven’t really heard any just as yet though), the level of commercialization of something culturally sacred is at times a bit sad. If you can share some…

Thatched Wonder!
I haven’t been to any other European city, so my point of reference is weak. But I have been told that such orange thatched roofs are quite a common sight to see across the continent. However, such roofs are rare to find in cities like Mumbai, where the humid climate doesn’t help at all. However,…
300 Posts: Time to Go Crazy!
I can’t believe I managed to come this far! As a writer, and a person looking out to keep a hobby alive, I am amazed that I managed to actually take 300 photos that were different, and I could put my point of view across. And growing up as a person, a writer, a blogger, and…
