It was a weekday and way past my bedtime. I can still feel the creamy mayonnaise from the shawarma running down my chin and the warm beads of sweat lining the sides of my nose. I remember sitting on the bridge, my legs agreeably crossed, staring out into the silence; I wished to forever capture…
(Post 8) Authentic Thai food in Bangalore
The thing about sadness is that it has this remarkable ability to transcend every aspect of your life. Which is why I say let it run its course, just don’t let it overstay. Consider it a house guest. I sat at the airport, so terribly sad, for an hour after I was told I couldn’t…
(Post 7) The Search for Surety
I’m facing some kind of challenge writing today’s blog because there are so many different pieces I want to put together and talk with you about. This trip has had me in all sorts of frenzies and looking forward to a week of pure indulgence but first, I want to know if you’ve ever wondered…
(Post 6) Love for Sanity – An Introduction
When I started out writing this blog, I’m not sure what I expected as a response, but it has been simply overwhelming. I mean, I honestly didn’t think so many people would care about what I had to say and I have to say it feels nice – like a comforting warmth in my stomach,…

Day 3 – Koh Lanta. We went out this evening, and if you’re in Bangalore you know the weather is so inspiring; I couldn’t wait to write today’s blog because I have a strong need to go back to nature. Even if just through this blog. It was our last day in Koh Lanta, and…

(Post 3) Hello Window
Continued – Day 1 – Old Town, Koh Lanta. By early evening, the weather had become sultry and I thought I could do with a cold beer. Can you imagine for a second the first sip of a cold drink on a hot Sunday afternoon, when you can actually feel that coolness riding down your…
(Post 2) Old Man and the Sea
Day 1 – Old Town, Koh Lanta. From my spot in the bus, for as far as I could see, Old Town looked just like in the picture. One straight road lined with shops and hotels on either side with smaller roads leading leftwards into the ocean and rightwards back to the mainland. Our B&B…
(Post 1) Enter Old Town, Koh Lanta
I’ll admit that it’s taken me a long time to start this blog. Maybe even years. The truth is I always assumed I would, at some point, illustrate my thoughts. But over the years I’ve realised that I lack the creative imagination to translate a thousand word story into a four frame cartoon. The fact…
