A Flight to White
There’s too much red, green, yellow, and blue,Colors colliding in a blinding hue.The little birdie craves for the white—pure, wide, and deep,Where peace can whisper her softly to sleep.Too much is happening, loud and unclear,Each moment feels tangled in worry and fear.Just once, she wishes to let it all go,To silence the inner noise, let stillness flow.No plans to make, no roles to play,Just she, ...
The Bachelor Life: More Than Just Instant Noodles and Netflix
When most people hear the word bachelor, they imagine a guy lounging on a worn-out couch, surrounded by pizza boxes and gaming consoles. While that's not entirely untrue (we all have those weekends), bachelor life is so much more than the clichés.Freedom, but With a CatchOne of the biggest perks of being a bachelor is freedom — waking up when you want, planning your schedule, binge-watching Formul...
Monsoon Musings: A Rainy Saturday in Pune
There’s something magical about waking up to the sound of rain in Pune—especially on a Saturday. The usual buzz of the city takes a backseat as the clouds roll in, softening the morning light and slowing the pace of everything. It's as if the city itself sighs in relief, wrapped in a grey, drizzling blanket.The day begins with that unmistakable petrichor—earth’s perfume after the first drops kiss ...
Zindagi zinda-dili ka naam hai
There was a time I’d chase sunsets with a camera in one hand and a plan for the perfect Instagram grid in the other. Every frame told a story. Every moment had a caption. Fast forward to now, and I’m mostly capturing toy-strewn floors, sleepy smiles, and half-eaten snacks… all on my phone, for an audience of exactly zero.Life changed. Priorities shifted. And honestly, I don’t miss the likes or the...
Empty weekends
The second half of the year has begun. The specialty is there would be many long weekends because of the festivities. It’s the time of the year when I wallow of not having the “family friends” which our parents were blessed with in their generation. Maybe they were just the neighbours or colleagues who became family, but there were picnics held, day trips done to temples etc. Now, in the big metro...
The Wednesday morning show
I have come out for the morning show today. For someone who never wanted to watch movies alone it’s amazing how life takes a twist to where I end up enjoying movie watching alone in a theatre. Yes there are other couples and gang of friends nearby you tempting your emotions to wallow in the loneliness but you can also remind yourselves to have a role play where in you are Anupama Chopra in the the...
Smart Watches
I have to wear this Apple Watch for a work thing. Now, I am not a fan of smart watches in general - its just another screen that distracts me from another screen that is distracting me from what I am supposed to do. But now that I am stuck with this thing for 24 hrs., I would like to see the silver lining. Just to be clear - I am not against the device and what it is designed to do, per se. The en...
Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung
You know those books you pick up thinking, “Oh great, another diet book telling me to eat less and move more”? I thought this would be one of those. I’ve read more health books than I care to admit — some promising magic pills, others swearing by celery juice at 5 a.m. But The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung? This one genuinely surprised me. Dr. Fung, a Canadian nephrologist, shifts the conversatio...
