Cherapunji! One of the most beautiful places in India, the land of rainfalls, greenry and beauty. You cannot stop but falling in love with that place. Bringing you with a few postcard pictures which i clicked while traveling: On the way to Cherapunji! At Cherapunji The board says it all Nohkalikai Falls The falls amongst the clouds Somewhere around India Bangladesh border The other side of border While travelling...the stop by!  As Gustave Flaubert quoted, 'Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world!  

Happiness is subjective. There will never be an ideal time or perfect scenario where you decide to be happy! For most of our lives, we keep on searching for the right timings to find happiness. We create mental scenarios of ideal time when happiness should "come to us"....after graduation, when i will land up with a good job..that will be perfect happy scenario, or after settling down (the other word for getting married) I will stay happy or when I will have a house/car of my own..those will be perfect times to stay happy! My friends, coming from experience, i would love to pull you out of this bubble and help you face the realities of life. THERE IS NO PERFECT TIME TO BE HAPPY! Yes...you read right, there is no perfect time! The right time is right now! This moment...when you decide to be happy in the middle of chaos, when you decide to smile in the middle of all your problems, when you decide to let go off things that you have hung up to for so many ye...

While surfing through the web, we come across many posts and quotes that define writing, how some people feel peaceful while putting their feelings and emotions on paper, how writing is the only ventilation. Not many know how satisfying it feels when you pen down a beautiful poem or an essay which sums up your feelings. How gratifying it feels to explore yourself in writing.  I define my writings as – My life & learning through my rants & roaring     A few other quotes which I am sure you would love: As Anne Lamott quoted, “Almost all good writings begin with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere". So, if you have not given a thought ... start writing .. anything that you feel like ... anything which comes to your mind ... there is no mindless writing ... just creative opportunities!

Was passing through and saw the most beautiful canvas of nature...Tranquility! Couldn't resist myself from capturing it and here iam sharing with the world! Old gold hues of setting sun painting silhouettes of rain! God's own painting!!

For our love to stay young and alive For those beautiful days and sleepless nights For you and me  and both of 'us' I have found you! To love you for  what you are to me, To love you for  what you have done to me, To feel the love  you have for me, I have found you! To live happy days  and see you smile, To fulfill our dreams  and walk a mile, I have found you! To make you feel how special you are, can spend nights and days  wrapped in your arms, I love the way you care for me I love you with every part of me, For i love you with every breath in me....

Taking up a cozy corner of CAARA, with Cafe Latte, a hot chocolate brownie and a book/or a lapy when i feel to write....is how i love spending time on chilly December days! This is one of my favorite places where i can be myself! A quiet cafe on the ground floor of British Council Library at Kasturba Gandhi Marg, is dream place for people like me who want to run away from bustling madness of the city and spend quality time of their own! Unlike other normal cafes which would rather make your conversations meaningless with non stop music running in the background, the place has an unsaid rule of being calm and polite.  You won't see flocks of lovers/friends/corporate haunches here, rather genuine book lovers, art lovers, English teachers and a few expats are more to be found grabbing a corner and immersed in their works. Such is a beauty of Cafe CAARA!  For me CAARA is ambiance  which it serves to me! Though it has generous space to itself, the seating is not con...
