Life and Death: The Co-existence

Do you sometimes come across a scene in a movie or a book (or lines on Instagram for that matter) that feels like a warm hug? Like someone peered right into your soul, and lent out a hand? This scene from Drive my car was one. It's a movie about many things: art, love, grief, …

The world doesn’t have to know

As I grow old, I have realized that I appreciate silence, privacy, peace, happiness, and tears.

Where would you sit?

Where would you sit? Hussain Sagar was always my comfort spot in Hyderabad. In my two year stay, I visited this place when I felt lonely or absolutely drained out. Because this place had such a lively vibe, the kind you miss from home. Family hangouts, couples, friend groups, kids playing and lots of food- …

Who inspires me?

One of the things, this never ending COVID era has taught about myself is the fact that I am a community person. I function better around people.
