Chronicle of a woman’s life
A platform for unveiling cultural, authentic narratives through literature, poetry, music and visual art.
To capture the essence of being a woman.
Our story begins with you…
Glad to be disappointed
Victor brings out his running shoes. I pretend to go back to sleep as he slams the door behind him almost pausing the river stream outside the window. As paused as the air between us that stood still; ever since we watched love leave the room. Stinging bitterness encircles me as his furious footsteps fade away. Suffocating.
Found my solace in pottery!
When Clay taught me a thing or two - in Seoul! I had quit my well- established career in Bangalore to relocate to Korea—a significant decision! I knew it would mean a reset and restart for both my life and career.
Rangeen Mukti
As a woman in the fashion industry, deeply connected to my culture and roots, I’ve come to realize that color is more than just a visual element. It is a celebration, an emotion, a powerful tool of expression.
Living and Learning: A Journey With My Best Friend

An Open Letter From a Privileged Indian Woman to India and The World
This letter is a rant, a vent, some questions, some thoughts, some dark truths, some ugly realities, some positives, some sufferings, some childhood pains, some untold stories — small and big nuisances spread throughout a woman’s day and life.
Art Journaling and ‘Me-time’ as a new mother
Those 100 days were pivotal to my life. They gave me a sense of identity beyond being an employee, a mother, a wife, and a daughter.
The one who loved to paint and draw, I was just being myself!
Twin Love
I’ve always known I’m a twin. Even before it was explained to me. Even before I can remember my first memory. Even before I can remember existing, I’ve always known that my other half existed along with me.
My Rhea!
Friends Forever
We indulged in every mischief in the book, from bunking classes to watching morning shows, to traversing the length and breadth of the city in search of trendy clothes, to indulging in "adam teasing" and more.
A story of friendship through life and beyond.
PHOTO ESSAYS
WHERE LAUGHTER ECHOES AND MEMORIES UNFOLD
Because in every frame, there's a story, and in every story, there's a friend.
