Filter coffee in Paris! - I went to Saravana Bhavan because I was craving some flavours of home. The filter coffee transported me across time zones to the streets of Mumbai (I know it’s not from there, but the Udipi cafes are famous for their coffees). Love it :) - #eatingoutloudtheblog #filtercoffee #saravanabhavan #yum #pariseats #foodinparis #foodieinparis (à Saravanaa Bhavan Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUQRNo7tEQ5/?utm_medium=tumblr

My phone is my mind's last line of defence.
Why do I want to talk about anxiety? Well, it actually starts from the age-old taunt we get from our parents; "Get off your phone!".
Why do I want to talk about anxiety? Well, it actually starts from the age-old taunt we get from our parents; “Get off your phone!”. Hold up, I know what you’re thinking: “How does a phone have anything to do with anxiety?” Well, hear me out for a second. This is not meant to be a post lashing out on all the things our parents have said to me, just because I want to do the exact opposite at…

I can never get over aesthetic shots of coffee 😍 - Here you go, a nice shot of coffee on a sunny day to get you through this rainy one (here in the UK, at least). This was a mocha from @temperancecafe ; the amount of chocolate at the bottom has me salivating 🤤 - What’s your favourite drink?

No more main-character energy
No more main-character energy. An angsty rant, or something of the sort.
(I’m tired. Like really, really tired).
It’s been a long, long, long time. For a lot of things. I just feel like I’m ranting for absolutely useless things, but then I don’t know if I am.
I’m torn across things. The grind hasn’t stopped since February 2021; it is now mid-May. I have gotten Covid, been through multiple lockdowns in the UK, somehow made it through three terms of my final year of…

Lunches and brunches - In case you’re looking for a brunch spot in Leamington, @procaffeinateuk is the place to go! The vegan stack (and it sure is a stack) had all the things that I could want in a great breakfast, made them vegan, but kept the satisfaction of tucking into a Full English 🤤 - Where do you go for brunch?

“I feel the need.”
Wrote an article after a while, let me know what you think!
Note: This is a piece I wrote on 31st March, 2021; felt that I should post a blog. It’s been a minute. As always, do share what you think in the comments!
As I sit outside, basking in the warm sunshine that is guaranteed for 20 days out of 365 in the UK, I reflected on the things that we really need, compared to things that we think we need. The pandemic really stripped our needs down to their…

sunny skies, and staying inside
sunny skies, and staying inside
As I write this, I’m witnessing the brightest rays of sun I’ve seen shining through my window. The sky has been dreary all week, prompting me to jump into the bed at every instance possible. Today is the day to step out, frolic about, and make the most of the sun. Yet, this isn’t a time to frolic about. For obvious reasons.

Fast forward to the end of the day. The night falls at 3.30 pm, and…

Walks by the river - Walking by the river was EXTREMELY windy, but so calming. For me, sitting/moving by the banks of any water body is a soothing experience. I never feel restless, because there is some degree of motion in the surroundings to focus on. In this case, I had the London skyline to add to it (not visible in this picture though). It was a really pleasing walk for me :) - What are the things you do to de-stress?

Words to live your life by! - I was lucky enough to visit @anticapizzeriadamicheleuk (yes the one from eat pray love) and understand the sheer amazing-ness (for lack of a better word) of the pizza served. More on that DELICIOUS pizza in my next post 👀 - Hope you’re having a wonderful Tuesday morning!

Jolly - Since we’re about a month away from Christmas, and I’m in the UK, I’m allowed to break out into a jig and sing “Tis The Season” at the top of my lungs while I skip through the streets of Leamington Spa. While wearing a mask, of course. I don’t need to furnish any reasons for this. If you wish to join me at a social distance, you’re more than welcome :) - #thinkingoutloudtheblog #christmas #lights #leamingtonspa #winter #tistheseason (at Leamington Spa, Warwickshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHxz5tAlJI4/?igshid=1dx73fn17vzzw

the meaning of 'lockdown'
Just a few thoughts on how the meaning of 'lockdown' has changed for me over the past 8 months.
It’s funny for me to notice that ‘lockdown’ has had so many different definitions for me, morphing every two-three weeks over the past 8 months.
First, ‘lockdown’ meant that no one was allowed to leave their house. At all. For no reason whatsoever. In India, lockdown was announced on the evening of the 24th of March, to be implemented at the stroke of midnight. The utter chaos that unfolded as…

Walk down memory lane - I’ve learned so much about the history of Leamington Spa, simply walking down this tunnel to the train station. Featuring the greatest hits of Royal Leamington Spa, it’s a really cool place to walk through; I really like walking through it! - #leamingtonspa #memorylane #royalleamingtonspa #history #shotoniphone #thinkingoutloudtheblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CHTC_kkFg3d/?igshid=1enthfzh19l4e

Indeed . Responsibility needs to be shared by all. - I visited the art gallery at the Royal Pump Rooms in Leamington Spa, and I saw this artwork on display. I forgot to note down the creator, so please message me if you know the artist who made this. I remember reading that the idea was to advertise socialist ideas under a framework similar to that used for company marketing under a capitalist system. See the irony there? - What are your thoughts on this? Let me know what you think! Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday 🥰 - #royalpumprooms #museum #art #perspectives #thinkingoutloudtheblog (at Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG4mdh2FWii/?igshid=f4csic1iye7s

Lapse into light - I was up really early this morning, since the most important festival of the Bengali calendar (Durga pujo) is in full swing, and I was attending a ceremony happening in India (shoutout to virtual everything). Though it meant I was up at 5 am on a Saturday, I wasn’t really cranky. After all, it is Durga pujo after all! Plus, I got to capture this timelapse of the sky lightening up to herald the day! What’s not to like? (The getting up part. Yes, I know.) - #timelapse #durgapujo #festive #shotoniphone #daybreak #nature #thinkingoutloudtheblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CGu4OwtnPgC/?igshid=nlpwiesgsech
