Nagaland: A Photo Essay
I travelled to Nagaland in April. And yes, it is not the month preferred for traveling. For most, travelling in Nagaland is synonymous with attending Hornbill Festival near the state capital Kohima in the month of December.

Soul Garden
I live in a small town, with cement roads and dust smitten air. We relish the small town luxury of maintaining a garden, in the front as well as in the backyard of our bungalow. We never got a landscape designer or a planner for the garden. Instead, through the years, we just collected […]

The Timeless Gulmohar
Hope is always colourful. It has the warmth – the red, orange, and yellow of the rising sun. It lifts your spirit. It tells you that there is a road out there waiting for you to be walked upon. As the streets explode with the various hues of the Gulmohar flowers, ever so beautiful even in passing and […]
