10 Facts About Me

Image
  Okay, let’s start with a basic one. A ton of people would disagree with me, but I like sunsets more than sunrises. Hear me out okay, hues of pink, orange and blue, just feels so beautiful. One of the most beautiful sunsets I had witnessed was when I travelled to Mumbai. The colors of the sky were just mesmerizing.  So yeah, Sunsets > Sunrises.  I’m a talker - Most people who personally know me would know this. Although I love listening to other people, There’s always something going on in my head that I NEED to express.so yeah, big talker. I have a waiting list for Songs - Whenever I hear a song and I like it, I don’t immediately add it to my playlists. I just ‘Like it’ on Spotify. I wait for a couple of days, just to see if I like the song as much after a few days and then add it. I currently have 63 songs on the ‘liked songs’ list. I don’t know, I'm very picky when it comes to adding the songs on my playlist. I can’t start my day without coffee- This one I think ...

A Conversation with a Stranger

  Hyderabad’s Monsoons are unpredictable. On some days, the sun’s heat can almost be felt on your skin and on other days, it rains day and night. Today was such a day. While leaving for work it was raining heavily and the roads seemed half sunken. I walked out of my office and started looking for Rickshaws and almost every driver quoted triple the price. After waiting for a while, there came a Rickshaw, he took me by surprise when he said “ Jitna paise dene hai, do” which translates to give the amount you think is appropriate. Taken aback by the kindness, I doubted whether taking that Rickshaw because it was getting late and kindness in the times of need, was a rarity. I took my chance seeing no other Rickshaw in sight. After a while, he explained that he worked as (A distributor and cab driver) and why he had to resort to driving a Rickshaw. I wasn't in the mood for conversation but replied nevertheless. Ali (he later introduced himself)then explained how people give so much impo...

  So okay, let’s accept most of us have wish listed many things and now the bag is full! Guess What? I ended up purchasing a few things which have been lying on my Wishlist for a while now. Firstly, In Fashion I have been eyeing good straight leg jeans for a while now. I went onto websites like h&m, Myntra, Ajio but nothing really caught my attention. Finally I landed onto Urbanic. Although I was skeptical about the app, their quality and delivery, I gave in and bought a pair of Jeans and LET ME SAY They are good. Like the fit is good, the quality and the right amount of loose, GIRLS, you know what I’m talking about. I styled it immediately I paired it with a checkered Shirt and a brown pleated belt to top off some chunky shoes. Overall, The outfit looked amazing. Because I was going to Work, this outfit works well. But for a chill Hangout with friends you could probably switch the shirt for a well fit white graphic tee and a layered gold chain and you’re done. These jeans are ...

Things Nooone Tells You About Grief

Image
For a while now, I've been trying to look for comfort in words. When I experienced loss, the kind of loss that shook my body away (literally) mentally and physically, I took my time to heal and more usually than not, I gravitated towards reading. Reading about someone facing familiar emotions and feelings kept me sane. I hope that this post helps you find comfort if you've ever experienced loss or are still trying to mend your heart.   There's a scar on my left leg and it has been that way for a while, something which I had developed recently due to let's say, carelessness. Everyday I took my time examining it, I realized  it changed colors but never turned better. I eventually stopped caring. But my loved one(who I lost, recently) made it a point to ask me how bad the scar was, everyday. After a while, when I started caring again, I looked over the scar, it got better.  I think grief is a lot like that,  it changes colors, takes it's time to heal  but even...
