Travel, stories, and a new world of audiobooks
May 2, 2021Travelling is a luxury, they say. We probably never realised it as much as we do now, as we all sit locked in, waiting for the pandemic to blow over. I’m sitting on my bed writing this right now, and it’s a bit of a novelty. You know why? Because I’ve managed to travel away from my desk and try to get a change of scene. That’s right. Earlier, my change of scenery used to be writing and creating from exotic places, pristine beaches, valley views, but today, this is the normal I’m used to. When it comes to stories,…
Kerala: Human by Nature
I’ve noticed that travel, for me, is defined more by human experiences and connections, rather than the place itself. A personal story that unfurls within a destination goes on to become a beautiful memory, invoking the same emotions every time…
Where to Stay in Dandeli: PC Nature Camp
The knocking was loud. It didn’t stop. ‘KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!’ Sounded a little off, too. This was loud, purposeful and insistent, not like a regular human knock, which is usually a triple-tap and way more polite. I checked my phone.…
Travelling in the Times of COVID-19
In short, don’t. Travelling in the midst of a crisis like COVID-19 isn’t a good idea and won’t be for a while. It’s surreal when you realise you’re living through a global pandemic. None of us may have ever thought…
Dandeli: A Weekend well-spent in the Lap of Nature

Backpacking Around Sri Lanka – The ULTIMATE guide.
In an absolute first for me, I booked flights to Sri Lanka. Just the flights. Nothing else. I ended up backpacking around Sri Lanka – the little teardrop-shaped country that’s right next to mine – for nearly a month and…
Unawatuna: 6 Things to Do in Sri Lanka’s Beach Paradise
After nearly a month of travelling around Sri Lanka, I was really looking forward to Unawatuna. After hearing about its beautiful beaches and no dearth of things to do, all I wanted was to stretch out under the sun on…
Weligama and Mirissa: Exploring the South Coast of Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is undoubtedly famous for its gorgeous coastline and beautiful beaches that stretch from the south to the west coast. In fact, anyone visiting Sri Lanka on vacation usually favours the South. And with good reason. During season, the…
Arugam Bay: Surfing, and a Little Bit More
I spent the first 58 minutes of my very first surf lesson snorting saltwater and cursing my overoptimistic stupidity for actually thinking I could do this. But then if I’m spending a few days in Arugam Bay, I should totally…
Ella, Sri Lanka: Exploring Sri Lanka’s Hill Country
My stay in Nuwara Eliya had swept me off my feet, and I had fallen head over heels in love with the charming landscapes of Sri Lanka’s hill country. I hopped into a taxi that would whisk 6 of us…
Nuwara Eliya – 3 Days in the Heart of British Ceylon
Rolling tea plantations under a fresh, blue sky and a crispness in the air that made me feel like a very dusty, worn-out version of me had just walked through a sheet of cool water and emerged a new person…
