I say this is my happy world because this blog is the fusion of my two greatest loves - writing and travelling. For me, they are both deeply connected.
Words have guided my travels and my travels have let the words flow
The writer in me is inspired by the crazy and amusing moments that travel brings. There is of course the joy of seeing new places and faces, and savouring new culinary delights. But, more importantly, travel imparts valuable life lessons that no textbook or classroom can ever offer. It helps you let go of old notions and biases, and makes place for acceptance, tolerance and selflessness. It reminds you how big and diverse the world is, and so are its people. So grudges and egos can wait for another lifetime.
The traveller in me is inspired by the power of pen and words. Books are my greatest companions in unknown journeys and destinations. They can take you back to a familiar world and comfort you when the going gets tough. They can also inspire you to take the road less travelled by being your beacon of light.
As I entered the 'Hustle' of the corporate world right after MBA, I got introduced to a life where there was not much life left. I lost touch pretty much with everything that did not directly contribute to the pay-cheque. So, in short, my passions became a 'cost centre' - corporate lingo for a place where investing time and money is considered inefficient!
However, the pandemic has made me pause and reflect. It has urged me to reprioritise and make way for a better life. I quit my corporate job to pursue my dreams. This blog is my first step towards making those dreams come true
Writing has always been close to heart
My passion for writing goes back to my school days. I loved writing for school magazines, debates and speeches. In college, I would pen a poem or a few lines for my near and dear ones on their birthdays or just to make them feel special on an ordinary day. Since then, I have scribbled a few thoughts here or there, and occasionally also shared them with my well wishers. But, this is my first attempt to bring together all that has been running through my mind on a formal platform to share with my readers
Travelling has always been the way of life
Similar to writing, the seeds of wanderlust were sown early in life. I never missed a single outstation school trip. I owe it to my parents for all the encouragement they provided. I would always dream about going to far away places and wondered how would life there be. Do those far away people have same fears and insecurities as mine? Do they yearn for the same things as I do? Do they wish to see my world as much as I wish to see theirs'? When I had a few pennies in the pocket, I started to travel on my own. I would never miss a chance to pack my bags. If there was a long weekend coming, I would be ready with the itinerary. If a group of friends made an instant road trip, I would happily tag along. Office trips that took me to new unknowns would be welcomed with open arms.

Join me in this new journey where I open my heart to you
I will be sharing anecdotes from my life and travelogues from my escapades across India. Mountains enchant me, and so do the historical monuments - my blogs will carry this bias. I wish to write as much as I can. Your love, support and encouragement will motivate me to give my best. Please like, comment and share whenever my blogs resonate with you.
