An ardent learner, creator & a poet
What’s art? Is it colors that are splashed on a canvas, poems brimming with metaphors or a heart-warming prose? For me art is an exploration.

Was it the unlucky number 13 or the sudden change of a crew member? Not really. It was the oxygen tank that exploded. All they could do was gaze at the moon & wave it goodbye.

There’s no way any NRI could have had a normal first trip experience to India specially as a child. The sight of a Rickshaw would make me jump with excitement. I’m pretty sure people around me must have been convinced that I’m crazy. An auto-Rickshaw ride was far more bumpy than I expected it toContinue reading “The 4 year old me says hello to Bharat!”
Today was simply one heck of a morning! I was sound asleep in my room when distinct voices woke me up.
