The Indian Sky | A Lifestyle, Travel and Food Blog

As I sit here, fiddling with my nails, camera or coffee...feet tapping away to ward of the butterflies in my stomach...I am left a little shaken. I am waiting, not patiently i should add, for an important photography assignment. My brain is reminding me that I can't mess this up. It's telling me to buckle up and do good. My heart is silently watching this chaos. In the midst of this nerve-wracking tug-of-war i look up only to realise that i am in the same mall i got my first camera from.  I guess it was 3 years ago..if not more. Things were at a low point in my life. I had said my goodbyes to the person who inspired me the most in the world. I sat next to him, day after day, eyes following his every move.I cried when he did, and i laughed when he would. He was a photographer and the best one in my eyes!  I'd never considered photography before this. Never thought i'd hold a camera and love disappearing behind it so much. As i sit here in the same...

Trying to paddle a canoe, all by yourself, when you're miles away from the shore and in the midst of beautiful blue water. Your eyes can see nothing when you look around, except for the slightly nervous and slightly elated faces of others trying to accomplish the same. Friendly diving competitions ensue on board the cruise and you know that this trip was totally worth-it! Phuket, much like the rest of Thailand, is a place of culture, of temples and of paying respect to traditions. We visited the biggest buddhist temple in the vicinity, The Wat Chalong , decked in glorious reds and oranges. A strange silence seemed to surround the entire area, welcoming in many ways. And even though i couldn't understand most of what i saw or read there, there is a comfortable joy in just standing in one corner and observing the daily prayers of the people there.  CLICK BELOW TO READ THE ENTIRE THAILAND POST…

Your stomach convolutes into a ball of nervousness mixed with excitement mixed with lets-jump-out-of-the-seat feeling. Your head is pressed against the airplane window trying to take in every inch of this new land that you've been dreaming about for months. And your heart is just about ready to burst thinking about how the next ten days are going to be. That feels just about awesome! Right? Walking on sandy beaches, the inner child in you dreaming of making sandcastles, and driving up and down the city eyes scanning every nook and corner -- I'm not quite sure if I'd ever be able to sum up this adventure in a few lines. We landed in Phuket in the early hours of the morning and drove through the city just as the sun said hello. Our home for the next five days was a little odd-ball called The Album Loft and though its name had been throughly mis-pronounced and mis-understood by many people there, it was just the right amount of perfect. Walking into th...

Hello everyone! I found a similar list floating online somewhere and it got me to reflect on how music interacts with our emotions and feelings. I'm the run-away-from-all-emotions person. And yet I'm trying to come to terms with some pretty intense feelings these days. I feel music like books, have the ability to store memories and emotions...much like a bookmark at a particular page in your life.   Mixtape 03 | What i feel by UnderTheIndianSky on Grooveshark Are there any particular songs that spark a certain feeling in you. Is it possible that they might trigger the same in someone else. Would be interesting to find out! Until next time!

Hello! Festivals come around every year carrying a bit of nostalgia with them. Every year a bit of tradition is upheld with enthusiasm and vigour while another bit is shed or upgraded. You meet people you'd never meet otherwise, say hello to long lost friends, chat up your neighbors and just throw yourself in the craziness of it all. Our family is pretty much on the low-key side of things. We love lights and we hate crackers. We find pleasure in home-cooked food and coke and ending the nights in bed watching TV. Those are truly the best kind of holidays. The video below is a little glimpse into ours... What do your festivals look like? Do tell... Video made by me with the help of my lovely sister! Full credit to her...She's amazing :)

A cup of hot coffee accompanied by good humoured folks, an interesting book or just my rambling stream of thoughts. I'm a total sucker for dainty cafes that tease you with their charm and smells and just beckon you to step inside. I've always imagined myself as a Parisian busybody..walking down narrow cobbled roads and spending her afternoons in a charming roadside cafe. In keeping with my travel ambitions, I have scoured Pinterest to compile a list of cafes that i would love to hop over to! Now, where can i find that tele-porting device... Lily Vanilli Bakery, London ------------- Bonjour à la terrasse ------------- Mistral Cafe, Paris ------------- Chania, Crete, Greece ------------- Venice ------------- Ostuni, Puglia, Italy ------------- Bellagio, Lake Como, Italy ------------- Mykonos, Greece ------------- Any Cafe recommendations? Happy Weekend guys! And a happy Diwali!...
