I have already written my Gratitude Journal for 2018. Honestly, 2018 had been amazing year except for the months of July and August. I would love to hold on to this year a little longer. I am almost singing the song "tu thodi der aur theher ja" for 2018. This year I traveled a lot, … Continue reading What’s My Word Of The Year For 2019 #WOTY2019
I went through a psychological low phase from June through August. In fact, August was the worst. My regular readers must have noticed that my posts were reflecting deep dark thoughts. Those who have ever suffered from obsessive-compulsive thoughts would know how difficult life gets when you are unable to control your own thoughts. I … Continue reading How Staying Away from Social Media Helped- GratitudeList of September
“Take your broken heart and turn it into art.”-- Meryl Streep My heart is broken, the scars are all over and they have created a mosaic.

It appeared gross, grotesque and as Bongs would put ‘churanto nyaka’. However, ironically this is the same movie that ignited passion and romance in me 28 years back when I … Continue reading How Bollywood Ruined Us

The old bit** that she … Continue reading There is Nothing ‘Romantic’ about Marriage #MondayMusings
Depression is something all of us are aware of but very few talks about. Ever since the suicide of Anthony Bourdain, I have been thinking about this a lot. We are living in an age where all of us are struggling with our own demons. Cases of depression are increasing. Perhaps due to better awareness … Continue reading Why Am I Feeling Sad? #MondayMusing
An epitaph post for Anthony Bourdain is unbelievable and heartbreaking. I would not have wanted this in a million years. A man who was so inspiring and motivating hanged himself is painfully unbelievable. He was my definition of an ideal ‘man’ because ‘He wrote, he traveled, he ate, he drank and he was hungry for … Continue reading Anthony Bourdain, Keep Traveling
