Lo and behold!
Good morning from my pretty little blue couch in Powai. It is 11:01 AM. I am working from home home. Breakfast was cut and ready before I opened my eyes. Lunch is waiting and I’m still on breakfast. I’ve got Keratin treatment in my hair. My insane size TV is playing Lika’s Morning Coffee Grooves.…

Gruns + getting hot ✨
GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING! It is precisely a month to my birthday. I realised this only when I typed out the date for this document. The past few years, I’ve lost the eagerness I had for my birthdays.

Freshly minted graduate
Hello, hello 👋🏼 I’d been waiting for this week to come by for the last 3 years. I am now done with college. Monday, the 5th, was the last day of exams. Followed by one last college party — and perhaps my first. Or maybe, second. 6th onwards, I’ve been going around town, carrying a…

Lemon Rinds
The opening line for yesterday’s unwritten, unpublished blog post was – “I have just had Butter Chicken; the light in my room is a warm yellow; life feels good.” But I could not get myself to writing it.
