  • Happiness is…

    Last weekend, I had gone for a short trip to Dresden with my husband. We spent the weekend walking around the city, clicking photographs, deciding where to eat, what to go see next and so on. All the usual stuff. At the end of the trip, we were walking back…

  • Out to lunch!

    This evening I was heading home after my German language class. It’s been four months of learning German, and while it’s not exactly a breeze, I’d still like to think that I’ve picked up quite a bit so far. I practise my vocabulary when I’m out shopping by reading the…

  • Where’s the snow?!

    The first thing that most of my friends and family in India said when I told them that my husband and I were moving to Berlin last year in the summer was “Ooh! It gets really cold in Germany!” Friends and acquaintances who had visited gave us advice about what…

  • Decades and deadlines

    I’ve been feeling very enthusiastic about the new year 2020. Something about it makes me feel like it’s going to be a great year, I’m going to get a lot done and accomplish great things. At least that’s how I’ve been feeling. Then, this afternoon, right in the middle of…

  • Service with a smile

    I love going out. I love dressing up and going out to dinner, or even just getting a cup of coffee at my favourite café. I like the idea of making an occasion out of food, especially when I’m dining out. For me, it’s all about the experience – I…

  • Morning

    I open my eyes It’s 6 in the morning My husband’s up And I’m still yawning. My blue yoga mat In the corner sits I close one eye And squint at it. That blessed thing Is covered with dust And my mind and body Are going to rust. I turn…

  • Happiness is … A balcony garden!

    I love spring time! The weather is perfect, and flowers are in full bloom everywhere I look. The sky is just the perfect shade of blue interspersed with fluffy, white, cotton-candy clouds. This year, I got myself a few potted plants for my balcony. Little did I realise how much…
