Unprecedented! The most apt word used to describe 2020. Also the most common word gracing year end reviews published around the world. Over this last month, I spent some time switching off from my daily routine to introspect and reflect on the year this has been, and the lessons I have learnt: the importance of family and nature, an attitude of gratitude for all my privileges, a study in resilience, the joy of embracing a slower albeit fuller life and going deep within to understand my true purpose. 2020, you might just have been a blessing in disguise! As 2021…

Hello everyone! Are you enjoying my lockdown posts?

If you guessed Dalgona Coffee, you are right!  Love it or hate it, you just cannot ignore Dalgona Coffee. This was one of the first trends that went viral on social media. And probably also the trend which became most infamous in India, as people across the country pointed out that this…

Hello again! Today I am covering the letter C in my lockdown alphabet series, and guess what C stands for? C stands for the joy of creativity we got from pursuing our hobbies during this stay at home period. Several people rediscovered their passion towards baking, reading, painting, blogging and other creative activities during this time.

People were abruptly jolted…
