• Kerala diaries 1: The neighbourhood

  

  It’s four days since I wrote my last post. I’m in Kerala with my husband’s family. We took a train from Mangalore to Kerala- our first train journey in 6 years. After 7 hours of chugging past stretches of paddy fields, meandering rivers, railway tracks, colourful homes, spotted cows, and people, we finally arrived here […]

• Just enough

  

  I had written an earlier poem on the first showers Mumbai received on 10th June. I thought the Monsoons had come but it turned out to be a trick nature played on us. After the 10th, it rained on the 16th- just enough to lower the temperature. This poem is a stream-of-consciousness poem that came […]

• Travel: A pilgrim’s trip to Trimbak

  

  The best trips are those that are done without much planning. With hubby having caught a bad bout of the flu, we couldn’t go anywhere on the weekend. But, before our upcoming holiday to my hometown and then his hometown, I needed to visit the Tryambakeshwar temple- the one I hadn’t been able to go […]

• The end of another NaPoWriMo- Winnings, Wrapping up, Learnings and much more

  

  And finally, April came to an end and I managed to clock in 58 poems (as two poems fitted a prompt from both the groups I was participating in). This year, I remember feeling exhausted within the first week- the kind of feeling when you feel you’ve churned out everything you had to and there’s […]

• NaPoWriMo Day 28: The things He taught me and How?

  

  Before I share today’s prompt and poem, let me share a piece of good news. My poem NaPoWriMo Day 27 – Adapting was the featured poem for Day 27’s prompt. I am obviously elated that it got selected. Because, like I said yesterday, the thoughts that I have expressed in the poem are something that I’ve […]
