I Dream Of Korea

I am going to South Korea, the Land of Morning Calm and calm is the only thing I am not feeling. Huzzah! I’m all lit up! “Why Korea?” That’s what anyone who hears of my upcoming trip says. Korean dramas, of course! Not too long ago, in 2022, I embraced the fandom and let myself…

Six Interesting Years Of Blogging Journey!

Yay! A six year blogging anniversary. Honestly, the feeling is incredible. As usual, I struggled to write a brilliant/ heart warming commemorative post around number six. I thought I had it nailed and then I didn’t. Procrastination landed the knock out blow and I was out. (WordPress sent me the anniversary notice a week ago.…

Filmy Thoughts: Dune 2021

Yesterday I watched the movie Dune on the big screen. Thoughts of a giant sand worm with its maw open wide, flashes of startling blue eyes against brown skin and desert sands swirled in my head. Woke up in the morning with the Dune hangover intact. Hence, I had to pour my thoughts in this…

A Potpourri Of Italian Memories.

I flip through my old Italy travel photos and I'm instantly there. Was it just a year ago? My happy place where I frequently disappear. Perhaps this is what is, 'wistful longing'! Then it was euphoria, curiosity and anxiety. My old Whatsapp chats are proof. "Am I packing right? Is it enough or too much?…

Loud Conversations And A Quiet One

Last week we went to Santala Devi's temple. Ms Teen had experienced the divine power of the goddess, 'an impossible wish that came true'. Hence she wanted a darshan.
