Here comes Ideal: THE ice cream of South Canara
Ideal’s is the ideal place to go when you want some indulgence in your holiday. This particular branch of the iconic ice cream brand from Mangalore is the first and the oldest. My mum used to take me when I was about 6-7 years old when we went to Mangalore and I took my 6…
Refuse the straw: Bake House Cafe
It might seem to many that I hadn’t eaten in a while but just got too lazy to post and write long descriptions😜 A weekend ago I went to this lovely place called the Bake House Cafe. The place had a kind of a ‘forced’ vintage or retro look – I don’t know but a…
A short tale about Missal Pav
Some days back i put out a post on Facebook on the origins of Missal Pav. What is Missal Pav you might wonder? This is how it looks like. This post was inspired by this wonderful Missal Pav that i had outside KEM hospital where i had gone to a workshop. I went bright and…

Memories and Possessions
I don’t shop during holidays and very little when not on one (ok that isn’t entirely true…). You can say i have consciously stopped buying unnecessary stuff so i can travel more than i already do. While i avoid picking up random ‘things’ from my trips, I usually like to bring a part of what…
My top three experiences: Nepal
Nepal happened at a time where i promised myself that I would seek experiences and not amass things. I was highly inspired by a logical argument that my friend Ansoo Gupta made on her social media that if we saved all the money we used to buy clothing or accessories, we don’t need we could…
