• Weekend conversation, art and travel

  

  Last weekend, we decided to drive to Alibaug, on a whim. Alibaug is a coastal town that takes around 3 hours to reach from Mumbai. I’ve been wanting to visit it ever since I read about it in ‘The village by the sea,’ by Anita Desai, in grade 9. It was a good thing I…

• Mumbai Diaries : Finding my walking place

  

  I finally found a place to walk- one where I can do so all year round without worrying about the rains or traffic or pot-holes or people! This means I am closer to feeling settled. For a person who loves walking and loves nature, finding this place is as good as attaining nirvana. Since, I…
