New York is known for being a city that never sleeps, constantly on the move, like we in India speak of Bombay/Mumbai. But New York is alive, in the day, in the evening, at noon and at midnight. Brimming with energy, there is never a dull moment. And though this is not my first time here, it has been a discovery like no other. Here are a few glimpses of the city.
Yes, it has been a while since I posted something, and it is not because there was no opportunity or content to write about. Perhaps there was too much. Somehow, August 2022 was the most calm and peaceful August of my life and so this was the best time to take a short vacation with …
Three months since my last post, and it's not as if I haven't travelled anywhere. In fact, I travelled more in the month of May than I did in all of 2021. But work travel can sometimes be so intense that it leaves you with little time or energy to explore anything in a new …

My tryst with the sarees and fabrics of India It has been a while, over four months actually, since my last blog post. There are many reasons for not having written anything all this while. First I was busy with work, so no time to think or to write. Second, no travel, either within the …
This post comes a month and a half too late. I almost didn't write it. But somethings deserve all the words in the world, or in this case my head, and must not be deprived of description.
