A SERIOUS CASE OF WANDERLUST!



The anxious plane rides, the camera strapped to my side, and the sore over-walked legs, all remind me of the love i store in my heart for traveling. The more i travel, the more i love it!

I'm in my bed right now, getting over serious travel withdrawal symptoms as i reminisce over the 10 days i spent in Thailand two week ago. That was where i had disappeared to, and i wish to disappear again soon! Sigh.

I see a lot of posts and articles over why people should travel young. Or where you should be traveling to. But i reckon travel is for everyone, young and old. The very idea of packing your bags and heading to a completely unknown destination is a euphoric high in itself! The destination could be in another continent or just a few hundred kilometers away. Every corner has something just vying to get your attention.

I had the most amazing time these past 10 days, navigating by-lanes and gawking at a culture so amazing yet different. It reminded me of why i travel and why i want to keep traveling for the rest of my life. Every penny i save, i want to spend hopping from one place to another. Backpacking, luxury traveling or long-term shifting to another continent...I want to do it all! Geez, just thinking about all this makes me wanna take a nap and dream away! Maybe a nap on a Parisian park bench...or the beach...

So while i prepare for my next adventure, i shall share with you details of my last trip in the coming week. Expect image heavy posts and lots of gushing!

Till then...Hello world, we shall get to know each other soon!

Bye Bye

FOR ONE | BANANA NUTELLA PANCAKES

*Ahem* Disclaimer: I am not addicted to Nutella. Yes, i may use it in all my recipes! And well…yes i do talk about it almost every other day. And i do really really like it. I still believe i am not addicted. So, there! I love recipes that yield one serving. Living on my own has enlightened me about the fact that there is no shame in asking the price of a single tomato or a few onions. And while all the recipes online come with family sized portions, i love when i can figure out the correct proportions to satisfy my lonesome hungry tummy.  I was in food heaven when i had tried these pancakes in Thailand. Did i mention I'd eat this every day? And thus, on a bored and sunny day, when i had not much to do but give my cat company, i decided to revisit the good ol' vacation days!  First attempt: Pancake utter fail. (Note: Never ever try and make pancakes on a burning hot stove. Just don't.) Second attempt: Hold on till i go devour these! ( Thanks to mother...

LOVING A NEW CITY #01

FIND FRIENDS.  Moving to a new city is substantially less scary when you have a friend along. Obviously, it does not take away the frustrating running around, but it does make things a whole lot easier. You'd want a friend when a broker calls you at a random hour to a random location, you'd need someone when your house floods because someone left the tap on and you'd especially need someone when you just want to laugh at a funny-annoying situation. It could be that one friend that moves in with you, or just someone you met at work..try and keep people closer when you're in a new city. I moved to Bombay along with a lot of other students from my batch. With everyone as lost as i was, it was easier to navigate things. I could not imagine getting used to the city on my own. I'd probably slip down the station stairs and no one would notice. (a long running inside joke with my first friend in Bombay!). So thank you those few first friends in Bombay and in Del...

A SILENT SCREAM

It's not easy to talk about something you aren't even sure exists. It's also not easy to talk about something that makes you different from others and in so many ways almost identical to them.  Sweaty palms, that sinking feeling in your heart, the panic that rises in your stomach and the fear that things will always go wrong no matter what. There isn't one name to this problem. I'm not really beating about the bush, nor am i wanting to name it outright. I've been through depression before. It could be the same this time, or completely different. i can't snap out of it. No matter how hard i try and no matter how many times i tell myself its going to be okay. It's like a living being that sits in my stomach and waits and waits.  I panic. I scream in my head sometimes and i just want to sit in absolute silence on most days.  I cope through it through food and through long spells of couch therapy. It's not really coping i guess…more li...
