Somewhere between a business meeting and a holiday, I began wondering whether we ever truly switch off. In past 22 years of working as a professional, as per my diary, I would have travelled 2220 (approx) days for work and would have travelled approx 220 days for leisure, sometimes to the very same cities where…

An afternoon at a coffee shop, a boy in love, and the thousand things we never say goodbye to. I was sitting in a coffee shop across the road, nursing a cup of coffee that had long stopped being hot, watching the world move in its usual, indifferent rhythm. People hurried past the glass windows,…

I’ve spent years writing about love—its beauty, its silences, its heartbreaks, and the strange ways it transforms us. My book may have been about love, but somewhere along the journey, I realized that love isn’t just between…

Some conversations stay with you long after they end. Not because of the words spoken. But because of the energy they leave behind. One such conversation happened on an evening at my friend Suni’s kitchen table, just a few days after her return from Kailash Mansarovar. The kettle had just whistled. Two cups of ginger…

At 45, after watching marriages around me, listening to countless stories, and quietly observing families, friends, colleagues, and even my own journey through life, I have arrived at a conclusion that may sound controversial.
