a memoir of etchings and wanderings
Movies. My one big love. I’m no film critic, but I cannot get enough of them. Not only do they sweep me into some distant story, and then leave me on some desolate coast with the credits running, some of them stay etched in memory forever. Just like my travel lists, there’s a bunch of movie lists I can make. Ones which I could never really understand, the ones which … Continue reading “Day 13# Top Ten!” →
If someone were to ask me this, say – a year ago – I wouldn’t even have to blink before I replied – home. But now the story has changed. I am home. Surrounded by all the comforts and reassurances that family brings. However, the heart is never really satiated. So even though I have nothing to complain about, there are some things I miss dearly. # Mobility. The ability … Continue reading “Day 12# Sorely Missed.” →
Travel! Now this is what I call exciting content. Ah, the thought is so refreshing. It has not even been a month that I’ve been back from my American vacation and am already itching to pack my bags and set off on another trip! In my mind, there are two distinct travel to-do lists. One is the achievable list and the other is the aspirational. But this post is about … Continue reading “Day 11# Wanderlust” →
Embarrassing moments. Yes, I’ve had those. Quite frequently actually. Tripping on the street, slipping on – yes – not so slippery spaces, horrifying typos in text messages, dropping food on strategic parts of my outfit, missing out the ‘s’ in the word ‘hard disk’. And I could go on forever. But this story is one where I outdid myself. This was when I had recently joined a workplace, and a … Continue reading “Day 10# Oops.” →
Eddard Stark and the monster novel. Edited with VSCOcam ‘A Dance with Dragons’ is the fifth of seven planned novels in the epic fantasy series – A Song of Ice and Fire by American author George R. R. Martin and the last one to be published till date. Just in case there is any inkling of doubt, we’re talking about the story that is now massively popular as ‘Game of … Continue reading “Day 9# A Dance With Dragons” →
Today is about a bit of counsel for those who follow this blog. Being preachy is not really my style, but sometimes I do get in the mood and surprise myself. I’m going to write about something I feel deeply about, and have mentioned to a lot of people who I felt would get help and/or relief from it. Commonly known as the ‘think before you speak/act‘, and taking it … Continue reading “Day 8# Word To The Wise…” →
Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” I believe that everyone fears something. The important thing is to know that in your heart, and never let it consume you. That’s what I try to do with mine. – I’m afraid of losing loved ones. So much that I block the thought consciously from my mind every time it slips in. – I … Continue reading “Day 7# Phobia” →
Public Relations. Definitely not the career I dreamed of when I was little – on May 03 this year, I completed four years of being in this profession. What is it I do? I manage reputations for brands. As a Public Relations professional, my job entails maintaining a favorable public image of an organisation, a person or brands or all of these together. I was very lucky to be recruited … Continue reading “Day 6# Communications 101” →
Personally, I have never really had a problem with public display of emotions. So this one is pretty easy – and actually, pending for a while. Today’s challenge is to write about a blogger friend or a real life friend. I’m blessed to know both in one person. My first memory of her is one at the SIMC campus in Lavale, getting off a four-wheel drive with her iPod shuffle … Continue reading “Day 5# My Friend, the Blogger.” →
Today is about quotes. As long as I remember, I’ve collected them. In my mind, in the secret diary, pasted on the walls of my closet and most recently, pinning them one of my most favourite boards on Pinterest. Tough job having to pick three of the so many that I love. But here are my top picks: “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you … Continue reading “Day 4# “Quote, Unquote”” →
