• Kerala Diaries: Travel- In and around the ‘Queen of the Arabian Sea’

  

  Fort Kochi is called the ‘Queen of the Arabian Sea’. It gets its name from Fort Manuel of Cochin, the first European fort on Indian soil controlled by the Portuguese. I’d been to Fort Kochi in 1995, a long time ago, with my parents. I remember we had lunch there- a fresh catch of fish […]

• Rajasthan diaries – Bisnoi Village

  

  Someone I have very high regards for, reminded me a few days ago that I hadn’t completed my Rajasthan travelogue. And, understandably so, I was thrilled. A) Because it meant that someone was looking forward to reading my travel writing, and B) it meant that they had read my previous posts; that’s why they knew […]

• Travel : Rajasthan Diaries Day 1

  

  It’s a month since we visited Rajasthan, and I figured if I didn’t write this post now, I’d never get to writing it. Ever since 2022 began, procrastination seems to be draping me like a comfortable shrug. And this is me shaking it off. We had been meaning to take our girls to Rajasthan since […]

• My journey to healing: going away from the familiar

  

  This year we did not celebrate Christmas because of all the losses in the family. On 26th December it was one month since dad passed away and I still felt extremely low. I did art, reading, writing and while it did help me feel better, it was short-term. I had no idea what to do […]
