There are two things one must do to live life - travel and read. I do both these in abundance. Being married to someone who is addicted to traveling, it has become an integral part of our lives. Traveling, for me , is an exercise which starts much before we head out to the airport. It starts when we pick a destination. Here’s how I plan a vacation - Pick a Destination - The first step is the most crucial. I read extensively about the place we’ve picked. Sometimes, I call off a vacation at this stage as it has same things we’ve explored earlier or doesn’t have enough attractions to justify a trip. I did so two months back when I crossed off San Diego from our California road trip. There are two things I do to get a rough idea - Google top 10 attraction of the place Then, I Google ‘2 or 3 Day Trip’ to that place. Like - 3 day trip to Sydney I don’t merely read the bullet points. I read reviews, forums and see travel pictures submitted by the users on travel websites...

Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. We inherit many qualities from our parents. Three good things I’ve inherited from my father - talk sensibly, a good sense of humor and financial independence. He started working at the age of 10 and I started earning at the age of 18. Both of us worked part-time. He worked to pay his fees, I worked because it seemed the right thing to do. I earned in my spare time and it gave me both money and pride. On this Father’s Day, I recollect the financial wisdom my father shared with me while growing up. Some of it made sense then and there, some that sounded out-of-date made sense few years down the road. Stay Within Your Means When I wanted to buy Levi’s jeans costing 2200 rupees, my father said no! I was earning 1500 per month and I had an add-on credit card. Don’t spend more than you earn. Spend only when you have the means to. Even on the credit card, spend that much you can repay easily. Three of the sentences he repeated often. After that...

Let me begin my saying - Numbers Matter! Big, big time. If someone gets 500 Likes on their profile picture on Facebook, we are tempted to see who the person is. The number game is important to young souls who seek validation on social media and also for people like me, who get money as per their social media standing. How do I get money? I write for brands and share it on my blog and social media accounts. It’s a form of advertisement. When I started blogging, oops writing (that sounds professional), my first job was for $50. I was elated, you know, as the cliche goes - writers don’t make money - and $50 was a hell lot. I was pumped up to work towards earning more. I was getting accolades and money was the cherry on the top. Accolades you ask? Poems published in an International Anthology, won a few blogging contests, won Indiblogger’s Indian Blogger Award 2013, selected among top 6 creative writing bloggers by BlogAdda, interviewed by an Indian channel in New York and interviewed...

How many times I fight with you? O' with years I lost track From the first fight in college I caught you taking a drag Then over your pesky habits Like, leaving wet towel on the sheet Talking loud on the phone Or messing coffee table decor with your feet It irks me, I get angry too You never learn the proper way Don't drive fast in the alley Or wear too much grey I can go on and on The list will run a mile long Nitpicks-nagging-nonsense For all the things that you do wrong My frail body gets tired Weekends drain the last bit out of me I long for a carefree day When I can be truly free But when you go away for days I awfully miss our senseless fights No matter how much I crib Those little wrongs you do make everything right *Image Source - Here
