Who do you spend the most time with? I am my best company. I start my day by discussing the plan of action and targets. I mentally compare it to the plan I had made the previous evening and often, there is no change and my morning run-through holds fine. Sometimes, a second person gets…… Continue reading I. Me.

The name game
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be? My parents thought long and hard to find 4 names that started with the same letter and ended with the same letter- alliteration if you will! The best part is that we have the same initials and the worst part is our…… Continue reading The name game
The hot cuppa satisfaction!
Describe your dream chocolate bar. I think it was on day 3 of our trek going up to EBC that we reached Namche Bazaar. Namche Bazaar is one of the acclimatization stops and the start of the real trekking routes into the Himalayas. It is considered the last ‘civilized’ stop on the route.

To us.
What quality do you value most in a friend? Friendship has become a dreary word, its true meaning lost in the numerous definitions floating across social media. I made friendships back in the day when the word had only one definition. A person who was there when you needed them the most. Dad once defined…… Continue reading To us.
The juggler
What jobs have you had? The expert at anything was once a beginner. At the beginning of my vacations after my grade 11 exams, when I moved from Science to Arts/Humanities, Dad showed me an advertisement in the newspaper and had me apply.

Let it be!
Do you practice religion? Religion is what connects humanity to spirituality. And for me, spirituality was defined by what my Mum practiced when we lived with her. Big festivals.
