There is a treasured tradition from my parental home that I have not been able to continue—a ritual deeply rooted in faith, gratitude, and ancestral belief. Every year, my parents used to organize a special sadya (feast) in honor of St. George, the saint known for slaying the dragon that terrorized a village in ancient … Continue reading Twelve Guests, Twelve Dishes – A Fading Memory

Was today typical? Not at all — and thank goodness for that. After days of relentless monsoon downpours that turned everything soggy and grey, today arrived like a quiet miracle. The skies cleared, the sun stretched out fully, and the world around me finally began to breathe again. Clothes that had been hanging damp for … Continue reading Off the Usual Track
How would you describe yourself to someone? It really depends on who’s asking — and why? If I’m meeting someone for the first time in a casual setting, I keep it simple. Just my name, maybe where I’m from if it feels relevant. I don’t jump into details unless they ask. And even then, I … Continue reading Me, Depending on You
What's the story behind your nickname? It’s funny how almost everyone I meet seems to have a nickname—something playful, short, or completely unrelated to their actual name.

It’s more about small, mindful choices I’ve made over time—choices that quietly shape the way I live and feel, without turning into strict rules or rigid plans. I’ve consciously reduced things I once consumed without much thought. … Continue reading This Works for Me—Maybe for You Too
Right now, there are no travel plans on the horizon. Life has a way of keeping us grounded at times, and this is one of those seasons. I’m not in a place where I can start booking flights or drawing up itineraries. And honestly, that’s okay. Sometimes just the idea of travel is enough to … Continue reading Not Yet, But One Day
What would you change about modern society? If I could change one thing about modern society, it would be the way we educate our children. The current system is still rooted in outdated methods—focused too much on drilling theory into young minds, much of which is now easily accessible at the fingertips. In a time … Continue reading My Vision for Changing Modern Society
What do you listen to while you work? Some people need complete silence to work. Others need a buzz, a background hum to keep their thoughts moving. I usually fall into the first group. Silence helps me concentrate, helps ideas take shape without interference. But there are times when I reach for something else—something that … Continue reading What I Hear When I Work
What’s your go-to comfort food? For me, my go-to comfort food is Kerala Palappam paired with Paneer Mutter Curry—a combination that perfectly blends tradition, flavors, and pure satisfaction. If you’ve never had Palappam, you’re in for a treat. Originating from the lush state of Kerala in South India, Palappam is a soft, round, lacy pancake … Continue reading My Go-To Comfort Food
