A lot on my mind – November 2020
Ok, I’m back now, almost after two months.
A series of unplanned events occupied me for a while and writing became a mental block. I reckon drafting at least three posts during this time, unable to publish any. 😳
So when the thought of writing a [..]
Disruptions Feb and March
I finally pushed myself enough today to get to writing this short update. Writing has been on hold as I travelled to India (again) to help a health situation back home. [..]

It’s been over a month since I travelled from the Netherlands. So yes, I’m back here again.In India. (I mean). I had to travel this time to cope with the aftermath of the corona crisis. […]
A different pace of life in the Netherlands
It has been a week since I returned to the Netherlands, and honestly, I feel a bit weird getting back here. For starters, it’s a corona-free nation. (Or at least looks like it).As opposed to […]
Lured by FREE Plugins (IT post)

I was intrigued, of course.
What was it like to visit Auschwitz?

Why I don’t want to go to the Eiffel (anymore)

0% Alcohol living
In 2018, I was in Belgium. I remember going to the beer festival for the very first time. At the heart of the city center in Bruges was this small ground with hundreds of tents […]
Remembering January

Dreading the Dentist
My first visit to dentist came in when I was eight year old. My fellas took me for a routine checkup that ended up revealing four cavities. I was disappointed & scared to an extent […]
Better late than never- How was my December?
Hola, This monthly letter comes out a bit later than usual.I’m happy though that it isn’t the end of January yet or I would have to skip December altogether! 😬 If I weren’t a potato […]
How was my first experience in Business Class
Flying business class has been on my wish list since quite some time. Every time we flew international, the long wait hours, airport queues, packed and uncomfortable seating with accompanying jet lag harrowed our travel experience. 😠 I fantasized about business class every time [..]
What went on in that School Assembly
I had a crazy dream last night. I was delayed to the school assembly. I was running to the entrance gate but they shut it on my face. I had nothing to do and nowhere […]
A little (Over)weight
I’d always been a chubby kid. I don’t reckon a skinny version of myself. (except for maybe a short span in my twenties, when I stayed in a dorm. Food was plenty but inedible). I […]
Shark Bite(s)
This probably is the weirdest thing I’ve ever tried. Fermented shark. (still recovering from its memory) Back in 2019, on our trip to Iceland, (me & my spouse) discovered this local specialty in Reykjavik [..]

Growing up, I watched umpteen horror shows, each portraying a different flavor of Dracula.Sometimes they were blood sucking bats,Sometimes Vampires and Some times just monstrous undead.I always wondered – “How we came to believe in […]
My Tale of Productivity
One morning, I woke up to my iphone notification. A screen popped open and I saw a report of my week long productivity. It displayed my screen time and categorized my usage neatly. On an average , each day, it declared, I was fruitful for barely a few minutes. And shamefully, that number was lower than the previous week. [..]
How I spent four years in The Netherlands
Europe has always amused me as a child so I was really excited when my boyfriend (now spouse) asked me to join him in Netherlands. I was young, in my 20’s (head over heels in love), and quickly agreed to move to Netherlands..[..]
