Can't believe its been a year and few months I have written on this space. Never thought I could do this, but then life never promised to be the same always. Reasons are of course plenty, some are told and a lot of them untold. But they...are not important.

If I were to explain my being MIA then I could write a series of posts of what could have been, should have been and wasn't. But I don't wish to do that. I want to talk about all that was, which was beautiful, exciting and promising. 

I want to share the wonderful milestones my writing journey crossed during this time. Not to forget the growth as a reader that I made during the same time. 


I want to talk about the various shades of blue I saw during my travels when I witnessed the beauty of oceans at its best. 

I want to describe the exact flavours of the best Asian cuisine I tried on a floating restaurant. 


I so wish I can capture the antics of the juggler who kept us entertained on the roadside on one rainy evening when everything had come to a standstill in the city but not his tricks. 


I want to talk about the lovely sunsets and sunrises I managed to capture through my lenses.


I want to share that old couple's love story whom I met on the train . 


I want to talk. Are you listening?

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
