There is something about love that transcends words. Take music for instance; even without words it makes us feel things. Have you had friends who don’t speak in the same tongue as you do? Coming from the land of 18 major spoken languages with over 1600 regional dialects for company, I still get a lot…

Fishing For Food
I grew up in near the Koli (fisherman) community in my formative years, and their culture was fascinating to view from a distance. Their colorful attires, strange floral hair strings, love for bling and smell of the sea was very interesting. Their celebratory dances lacked finesse but made up in enthusiasm. With time, modernization took…
Relax. Renew. Refresh
Nothing is as relaxing as a good bath after a long day. Sadly soaking our skin is not something we have space for in India. But like Sylvia Plath suggests: There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them. Guess it’s time to soak…
Lion’s Share
Like I mentioned before, I just cannot trek down. My only successful treks have been to Forts in Maharashtra where there were stairs etched out steps. However, this trek to the magnanimous Sinhagad Fort was different. We trekked up rocks and boulders, and I was with some 20-something kids so didn’t want to be caught…
Tiny Glory
Glorious cities often seem pale in the face of its rich history. Although it is no longer a shadow of its once opulent self, most of the princely Indian cities still continue to hold charm in for those looking to dwell deeper from the surface. This lovely picture overlooks the quaint town of Hyderabad from…
Fix The Leak
My mother and I have an eye for the quirkiest of things. So when she went on her trip around Europe, there was no way she couldn’t bring me a replica of the famous Peeing Boy (Manneken-Pis). This little boy is the “emblem of the rebellious spirit of the City of Brussels”, and he suits…
Everybody On-board
My brother gifted me this lovely little keepsake from one of his vacations. This is the last known manual tram in city of San Fransisco. But that is not the reason I chose to click this beauty. A few days ago, I started to read my first ever Agatha Christie book (gasp! I know!). For…
Justice Takes A Break
Do you remember the opening scene of the movie Watchmen? I am a huge fan of the movie, possibly the best superhero flick in its genre. But I digress. When I heard the Bob Dylan song, I’d wonder, time is the only thing that visibly changes, what is the big deal with that? But the…
No Man In The Mirror
One of Micheal Jackson’s finest ballads, Man in the Mirror tells us to look around and reflect. The song explores our identity and relationship with the civil society at large. It reminds us, especially in such toxic times that we need to become better version of ourselves, and practice the lost art of empathy, without…
Nectar Of Life
Although there are 114 chakras in and around your physical body, there are seven major chakras that form the central power point that control your being. The colors of these chakras correspond to the seven colors of the rainbow and seven elements, and are placed at specific energy centers of your body. The Root or…
