Postcards from Agra and Vrindavan

The Taj, in all its might and glory.

This picture was taken at Vrindavan. The narrow lanes of this holy town were once witness to Krishna's courtship of his beloved, Radha.

I still can’t believe that I finished a biographical account of someone who decided to raise bees for a year, and actually enjoyed it. Helen Jukes’ A Honeybee Heart Has Five Openings is an eccentric record of her first steps as a beekeeper. Weird, warm and wonderfully but predictably woven, her writing floats and flits between the hive and her personal life, which keep feeding off each other. Never lingering and never still. Almost like a bee.

There’s something oddly beautiful and soothing about the barren landscapes of the #spitivalley. This one was taken at the #kunzumpass, on our way to #kaza, the administrative capital of the region. The wind that day felt like needles poking my face!

Since it's unlikely that I'll finish any more books in the month that remains, here's an early year-end video of the top 12 books I've read in 2021. While my target was to read one every two weeks, I've averaged around 3-4. But it's been an extremely fulfilling and stimulating exercise! I've picked up some amazing reads and dived into stuff I thought I'd never touch. Like self-help and biographies. Like putting these reviews here on LinkedIn and on #Instagram. Like putting some thought into how I want to shoot them. One day, I'm hoping that all of this will evolve from its derivative nature to something more original. Till then, happy reading!

Before moving up in life! Also the “slightly” skewed bookmarks are an attempt at a non-OCDish portrayal of my existence.

4 years and two cities apart. Sailing through life.

Over the last 24 months, I’ve read books across an eclectic set of areas, restricted only by my preference for non-fiction and a general disdain for self-help and autobiographies. The endeavor has been to acquire knowledge across areas and peep into worlds far removed from mine, in the hope that there are lessons I can learn and apply in my context. The point I’m trying to make is that this process has resulted in reading choices that are sometimes hard to justify, and subsequently review. Bill Browder’s Red Notice (no connection to the recently released and extremely disappointing #rednotice on #netflix) is one such book. It’s a little difficult to review and recommend, not account of its pace, language or real-life story but because of the world in which it exists: #vladimirputin’s Russia.

Still geeking out! You know who you are! THANK YOU! ❤️❤️

Pretty much sums up two things: an early morning flight and three years of marriage. Happy anniversary @rukminichopra24

The Idea

Hello! Welcome to a rebranded version of my blog. I think of this as my little corner on the internet where I write and post without the fear of judgment. This blog began as a weird experiment in 2009 on blogger.com and I’d like to believe that it has evolved – along with my writing – over the years. Criticism and trolls are welcome :)
