No title! Yet

Once upon a time, there was a young man, walking with his dog when he stumbled across a newly created rocky path deep within the forest. He had traversed this area many times, collecting herbs and nuts for his younger sister, Gera. “Gera had become his whole world after his parents left them alone four years ago when he was…

Existence

I often dwell into this bizarre thought that what is the purpose of life, like anyone’s life, be it an animal, fungi, or human. I mean, surely we are connected to each other in the food chain and sustain life as we know it today because of each other but other than that. If we zoom out of the frame,…

At 8 am, my father and I wandered around in sector 15, somewhere close to the SBI branch, and looked for Naya bans. I got selected by a consultancy in Kanpur and came here…

A brief visit to Noida Haat

It took two weeks, multiple passing-by observations, and one quick visit to decide to dedicate a day to Noida Haat. I remember being surprised by the infrastructure when I returned six months after the first Covid wave. My first thought was, “Oooh, finally.

Bhutan- A land of discipline

By meaning, it says the land of the dragons. However, I would like to call it a land of discipline. You can’t help but notice it in each and every act of Bhutanese person.

Second, people who go beyond the comfort zone but doesn’t get too crazy, like go to outskirts but committed to their cars, as if where their vehicle can’t go, they won’t…

Imperfectly beautiful Spiti

Someone asked me on the way, what makes a barren land so attractive? Definition of the mountain starts with greenery. When it comes to the whole package, our imagination draws a picture of lush green mountains everywhere and a river with flowing water or probably meadows and a waterfall.

Tenzing

I met him at the dining room, watching a south Indian movie that he watched for like 50 times already (he can mimic every dialogue with emotion and background music), ignoring almost everyone.
