Post ski break in Tahoe after ski day. Skiing is an experience I do not know if I’ll take up again - I want to. But age is not my friend rn!

The views here were mesmerising though. Definitely a day that’s looked at fondly. We found parking quite easily too! Priorities in life are surely changing!

I want to do that kayak thing. Might be better suited to my aging body. Lol.

Been busy reading.

First one was an unfortunate DNF as I couldn’t really relate. The next 3 have been marvellous and interesting. I’m reading 2 of the books a second time - one of them, cos I loved it (If I had your face). And the other one (Useful phrases…) I didn’t remember reading before. And I liked it more than the last time I read it.

I love books. I always have. Fiction specifically. For a whole year I hadn’t picked up a book to read and I find that hard to believe it about myself. But it happened. I picked up a random book again middle of last year - thanks to a friend - and I haven’t stopped. All of these books are from the local library btw- not that I haven’t bought any.

I got Intermezzo by Sally Rooney cos I’ve loved all her work so far and this one wasn’t any different. I also have a couple by Murakami that I’m yet to read.

Wondering if I should started on the next one right away or should I savor the last one. I’m not asking. Just wondering.

Amsterdam: fun exploring on 2 wheels 🚲😍
I was looking forward to Cycling - in Amsterdam. Clearly marked cycle paths everywhere to the chill weather were something I wanted to experience. And the perpetual smile on my face while cycling truly surprised me. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did.

It took me back to the times I’d cycle with Hari in Bangalore. I still remember the same orange cycle we both loved. It made me wonder why I don’t cycle anymore when I could so easily do it.

So… I’m in the market looking for a good sturdy and stylish cycle. The shopping list keeps growing innit?!

Highlights from Amsterdam. As always, feels like the trip was too short. And yes, we did see a panda. Penguins 🐧 are still my fave.

We spent half a day in Amsterdam in 2019. The memories of walking around, drinking hot chocolate (me) and beer (him) and taking in the city felt perfect. And so in 2024, a trip to Europe meant a trip to Amsterdam.

Every day has been monumental. Walking around town, the museums, the little day trip to villages that are fairytale perfection. I could sit and look at the trees all day - there’s something mesmerising about them!

This is of course the quintessential canal - show it to anyone and have them guess where this is - Amsterdam will probably be the first guess (don’t correct me if I’m wrong. I hate being wrong and abhor being corrected :P)

Please look after Mom.
Reading it has been an experience. I’d marked it as Want to Read on Goodreads in Jan 2021. And I finally got around to reading it because of a post review by @spiritualminion - thank you!

The book starts with - it’s been a week since mother went missing. And it takes off from there in a first and second person narrative that to me, was such an emotional roller coaster. It triggered me enough to have to put down the book and I came back to it over a week later to give it a go, feeling apprehensive but also needing to see the book through (something I’ve felt with all books I’ve picked up).

Please look after mom is about familial relationships and how mothers - or at least the mom in the book - was seen by her family as so deeply entrenched in the role of a mother that they don’t see her as an individual with hopes and dreams. It is only after she goes missing that they think - oh if only I could spend another day with her, I would…. And that list of ‘If only’ and ‘I would’ve is endless.

The book is written beautifully. I’m a sucker for well written books - books that I think are well written. There’s a flair to writing that brings me such joy and satisfaction and this author has that. The author, Korean, is brilliant. The narrative, the examples, the metaphors and the writing style. Brilliant.

I plan to read at least one of her other books - I don’t know which one yet.

It isn’t an easy read. It will make you think. And ponder endlessly about love and relationships and liking and family, and maybe even what it means to be one.

There’s a lot more to say, but only to myself.
I don’t plan to pick another book anytime soon. There’s way too much to unpack in this one.

Trips home satisfy an innate craving. For everything that you think of when you think of HOME. Meeting your parents and feeling like a child again. Feeling nurtured and nourished and loved.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t really get these things - and those could be any number of reasons which I wouldn’t want to get into. Well, it DOES matter. I really do not want to get into it though.

The thought of going to my hometown always feels so good! I ‘left’ home to move to Bangalore for work. I’d make the trip back every few months. And I remember this one time when I felt like things had changed. Wide, new roads replaced the narrow streets I’d grown up with. Bigger stores popping up along those mom n pop stores, and these have slowly disappeared. The Krishna Temple that evolved to have queues to manage crowd better and became more efficient, I guess? Even Malpe Beach is no longer the same! But every trip to Udupi feels incomplete without a visit to the beach.

Everything’s commercialised and Udupi is no longer the city that I knew. But it still evokes the same feeling - of going home. It’s the place where I grew up. It’s where I realised I’m awkward with people - took me many more years to know I’m an Introvert.

It’s the place I made my friends through school and college - some of whom I’m still friends with. It’s the place I got married.

At one time, Udupi was the answer to the question- where are you from? Where do you ‘belong’?

Now? I’m not sure I know. And I’m A-ok with that.

Should we do hashtags?

So I have this other account @everything.diaries - which I’ve decided to close - because who do I think I am. And hold on, before you get incensed on my behalf (oh you probably aren’t, but I’m delusional.. so).

I created the account when I wanted to catalogue my travel and use hashtags that I thought I’d be made fun of for using - cos I thought people actually ripped me apart for every little thing I did.

And of course now we know that everyone has a life and no one really cares, at least not to rip you apart.

There are other little things too - I thought I’d get some sort of satisfaction from the other account. I’d get to learn. And I did. For a long-ish time. But I’m done with that now. And I planned to simply delete it and make it go phoosh(?) but then there are some pics I truly love and I couldn’t for the life of me find them on my phone. So I’m gonna screenshot those pics and post it here.

Like this one(s). From mesmerising Italy. Florence. I remember getting off the train (from Naples I think). It was a short walk to the Airbnb, luggage et al. I fell in love with this cosy spot in the backyard. So simple. So perfect. A little sunlight. It was magical.

I remember feeling liberated. Like this is a spot I’d want in my home. Cos it made me feel like home. Home. Means so many things to so many people. At that moment in time, this was home.

And this was the caption that went with the original post (hashtag et al)

A cosy nook at our #airbnb in #florence in just a 4 min walk from the train station!
Love the Airbnb we stayed at across our #travels to #italy and #france
They’re well thought out, with every possible amenity made available #superhost
And they’re also so beautiful! .

Quick check in to say hey and that I’m alive. This check in is with myself btw. But thank you for stopping by. Life has been good. For once in my life I feel happy and content. And you might think ‘what does she have to be unhappy about’. And I’ll tell you friend/lover/stranger/ you know this - everyone’s going through something you know nothing about.

So anywho… life is good. I’m happy. I’m going places I’m happy about. And meandering about nothing (on paper, mind you) is my forte. I have so many books unread and untouched. It’s a shame. Th grace though, is that I’m not buying more books to be left on the tbr pile.
Eh. That’s all for now. There are more posts coming - I think. Omg. Remember that magazine where the editor/writer would share Bollywood gossip and have an absurdly high number of methinks??? Hilariously ridiculous.

It’s been 5 years to this brilliant first visit to Europe. Everything is a happy, exciting memory to re-live. Soon!
Also we look like shiny eyed bright energetic babies!!

Perfect Saturday morning. In the lap of nature. A 1400 year old tree. And whole lot of photo op and walking. Big smiles all around

In and around February. Belly full of Nutella and aalu sandwich. Guiltily sulking about being too lazy to go to the gym. Conversation with friends has been the highlight when as always we forgot to take a group pic. At least this time round, it got mentioned.

In other news (about me) I’ve been in my head way too much. It’s way too comfortable and cosy.

Why this need to post? What am I hoping to achieve/feel? Is it about validation again? Hey I exist?

Whatever. I clicked a pretty pic. Here you go.

Just good ol California sunset.

It’s been almost 2 years of living in a different country, and it’s started to feel like routine. The beautiful view, the way of life, the Costco aisles… they all feel like I’ve experienced them since birth. And that means the novelty factor has worn off until I tell myself - Hey look! That’s a fabulous breathtaking view. Appreciate it. You may not have it forever. And even if you do have it forever, why would you take it for granted and not appreciate it!!!

Yea… so that’s where my brain has gone quiet and refuses to indulge in my long caption agenda. Ok bye. And hope you have a great weekend.

Just snapshots of my time at Yosemite. It was perfect. The awesome Airbnb, the drive, the views, the company and the conversation. 💜

I didn’t realise just how much I needed the break. As much chill as my everyday life is, I guess getting away from routine can be fulfilling.
And then of course connecting with new folks has its own magic!

Who reads captions anyway?

But that’s never stopped me from typing any and all nonsense going through my mind. I kept retyping the word ‘through’ because the word just felt wrong. I kept - in my head - pronouncing it th-rough. All these years I’ve been able to pronounce it no questions asked. But suddenly all I can think when I see the word through is rough. The brain does react and behave funnily sometimes.
And as always there’s no real point to my rambling. Just like there’s no real ‘point’ to anything anyway. Like… we’re just really tiny insignificant beings in this vast Universe.

Omo. No hashtags??? What’s the point of this post even!

Scenes from NY.
I’ve always wanted to visit New York ever since I knew something like New York existed. There was no rhyme or reason to it. I probably didn’t even know what vibe meant. And what I saw, felt and heard in NY, is so much more than a vibe.

In my mind, it was always a dream. I never thought I’d actually get to go there. But as I walked the streets in Times Square by myself, blending into thousands and taking in everything around me, it struck me all of a sudden - that I - a small town nobody riddled with self doubt and resilience - was here. HERE. In N.E.W Y.O.R.K

I barely scratched the surface of all that I could probably see and do. But I know I’ll be back. And I’ll enjoy the heck out of it.

The guy stood still till I clicked all the pics (I clicked may more). I was clicking to check how long this dude would actually stay unmoving.

Also continuing to filter the photos to no end. Because. Why not.

I have a pretty winding stream of consciousness going in my head. But all the photo editing got me distracted so now I see my fingers fly across the keyboard with absolutely no control over what I’m typing even as I think who’s even interested in all this. In all likelihood no one’s even reading this or even looking at my posts so really I can go crazy and type absolutely anything and get away with it. Lol. Being a nobody is fun.

Filtered the $h*t out of the original pic.
Also, I realised I hadn’t posted anything on the page for all of May- which in all honesty, nobody cares about. I know that. But I thought it’s good to show up sometimes and make people think - oh this weirdo is still alive huh.

Anyway, posting a pic from last month.

Also. Have a great day. Byeeee.

Nothing to say except that I found this pretty and thought I should share it cos you would maybe find it pretty too. And that this could brighten your day in some tiny way and so it felt like a good idea to share it and that maybe I like run-on sentences a bit too much for anyone’s liking. Oh hashtags are necessary.

Strolling through the city. And into a bookstore, getting excited about a book on the Korean wave and finger hearts. But mostly, strolling about the city.

It’s been a fascinating day at Edinburgh Castle. Perfect, cold, scintillating weather and a whole lot of history.

The happy vibe!

I’m usually so judgmental about and unhappy with my face. But this pic makes me happy. I know I should accept myself, and I’m working on doing that.

Pssh. Who reads captions anyway! Let’s hashtag

That one time I went to Italy and vowed to never let anyone forget it. Ever!!

Photo 3 & 4 are of the grotto I mentioned in my previous post. Also saw a series of photos of stairs - they were taken as a memory of all the stairs we had to take to get to our #airbnb in Amalfi. The last pic is of the view from that fantastic place (regardless of how much I crib about stairs, that place was 😍). Of course lots of wine was had.

It was one of those unforgettable views that made up my memories from Italy. We went to the grotto at sea level and saw stalactites as we rowed in a boat against the background of live Italian music.
Memory is a wonderful thing.
