Won’t you be home this year for Ganeshotsav?
A look back at what Ganeshotsav looked like while growing up, and how it shaped my communtiy Values. On an average day, how many times does your doorbell ring when you’re not expecting someone? Take a pause and look back at how often it would ring when you were 10 years younger? How…

A Speed Date with the Public Libraries of Bangalore
I love people, places and activities that reignite my love for mornings.

My Body and I- a diary of growing in and out of comfort & confidence
This blog is a result of an urgency that was felt after a long day of conversations with my aching hamstring and probably over-stretched back. It has been a little more than a week since I have been a ‘regular’ member at a gym close by. Nope, not the whole weights and treadmills…
