Notes between meetings.

  • Fateh Safari Retreat, Kumbhalgarh

    “Some trips are not planned. They simply happen… and become memories.” There are journeys that begin with bookings, itineraries, and schedules.And then there are journeys like this one — born out of one random thought: “Chalo wapas chalte hain Kumbhalgarh Fort.” No grand planning.No certainty.Just a feeling. And somehow, that feeling turned into one of…

  • The Beauty of Thol

    “The sun climbs high in the sky, then starts down. People come, then go. The time breezes by. That’s like a picnic, isn’t it?”– A Wild Sheep Chase, Murakami A beautiful morning.

  • Letters, Laughter & Lightning at the Fort

  • Unfiltered Moments: The Bambora Chapter

  • रुबरु – दिव्य प्रकाश दुबे जी के साथ

    20.01.2025 I was just typing a message: “I won’t be able to join you guys today, something has come up”, but before I even finished writing the whole sentence, Priya, with her superfast brain sensed what it was going to be, and with her even faster fingers sent a message: “cancel mat karna, baaki jo…
