on a crispy, clear autumn night 😍🍂🌌

It was 3°C and I was in my pajamas and slippers, shivering to the tip of my fingers and yet I couldn’t peel my eyes off the sky! I just stood there marveling at this majestic beauty 🌌

I still can’t believe I got to witness this with my naked eye! 🤩 What a wonder Mother Nature is! Uff! 💙

What is your travel dream for this year? Any particular city/country you want to tick off for 2023?

I want to see snow up close this year.
I want to roll in it, flap my arms and make a snow angel, build a snowman (badly I’m sure) and just be a child again.

Comment below your dream and let’s manifest together 💫

Resolution for 2023 is to be unapologetically myself, be kind and spread smiles 💙

Like Dolly Parton infamously said - “Find out who you are and do it on purpose”! 💯

✨ Measure travel on your own terms ✨
One of my close friends asked me the other day “since when have you been into travel?”
Like any self-respecting overthinking person, a series of questions crossed my mind.
First naturally I asked myself “Since when HAVE I been into travel?” When flashes from childhood crossed my mind - whether it was going to every remote beach of Goa each summer, or hiking to random hilltops around Karnataka or living my best life standing directly underneath the many waterfalls we explicitly looked for on our journeys, I asked myself “haven’t I always been into travel?”

While I brushed her question off with a superficial nonchalant answer, I pondered about my identity as a traveller. All those childhood memories proved my love for travel ever since, then why is it that I never identified myself as a traveller? I even remembered writing ‘aspiring globetrotter’ under interests on my very first CV.

And that’s when it hit me. Like so many of us, I associated travel with how many stamps are there on my passport.

When COVID hit us all, and the awareness of our impacts on planet earth doubled down, a new way of travel started making the rounds - exploring your own backyard.

This changed my relationship with travel as well as my perspective on my own travel journey so far.

I realised that it’s easy to get caught up in travel bucketlist trap or counting countries catch. But that’s not at all what travel is about, is it? In its truest essence, travel is about reconnecting - with people, with nature, with yourself!
Then why is it, that when you do in your own city, state, country it’s not enough in so many of our minds?

While I still am holding on the globe-trotting aspirations of the little-me, I’ve come to re-appreciate travel as I’ve always known it and loved it.

I don’t just talk about this from the privilege of being in an European country. This time around when I went to my hometown and couldn’t travel anywhere due to personal commitments, I saw my own little town with a new lens and realised there’s still so much to see and learn in the very place I’ve lived in for 25 years!! More on that in days to come. But for now, I shall leave you with this -

Why should anyone wait to go to this dreamy popular place, when the happiness is here! Knocking at our back doors with its hands wide open; beckoning us to dive deep into our own roots, our own place, our own people.

Thinking of this place and it's values today. 🙏💛
📍Golden Temple, Amritsar

No matter how many cities I travel to, when someone asks "which has been your favorite?", the first name that flashes in my mind is 🇮🇳

A random scene from the city that will forever stay etched in my heart is an old woman sitting in a corner of a busy road and offering water to every passer-by. No charge or anything expected. She didn't even expect you to thank her or smile t her. She just kept her head down, giving all her attention to filling the glasses with water and kept handing them out.

The invariant hospitality that radiates here, the evident attitude that people carry of valuing service over everything...ahh this city, it's people, they are special 💛🙏
If only the whole world, was just one giant Amritsar 🌟

When in doubt, put on your yellow jacket and go for a drive! 💛🛣️
Also because I felt like flaunting husband's newly found photography skills 😜
