a holiday in the wilderness


We always wanted to show you various landscapes.The jungle,snow,desserts and everything in between.The visit to the dandeli -anshi tiger reserve was unbelievable, serene and beautiful -every bit of magic we wanted you to see and unfold.

From the jungle night trek (Walking in pitch darkness with just a torch light spotting animals) to the long walks and treks,you were up and going.

You made some friends at the resort- a pair of turkeys whom you named pakdam pakdai and a cat who was extremely fond of you whom you named lazy bum!

You slept without a complain in the tent we camped in the first night,even though there were no night lights.You eagerly looked into the binoculars trying spot a hornbill or a giant squirrel.You happily clicked away pictures on my slr.You hushed us up when we were waiting on a rock for the deers to come by the river to have their drink.You squealed with happiness as the wind blew your hair as we drove in an open jeep across the forest.You thought the boat ride was very very boring.You happily played in the little stream we discovered behind our tree house and picked pebbles as memoirs.You assured me after 20 minutes of inspection with flashing torch lights(at night) that the figure we were seeing from our treehouse near the stream was NOT a bison but just a buffalo and you were right!And you cheerily bade the wilderness goodbye,waiting to come back home and tell your friends everything you touched,saw,smelt and felt.

Such a wonderful little fellow traveler. Here is to many many more adventures with you Yathaarth!

10 years of loving you.

​ The love, the unimaginable and colossal love between a mother and her first born: no one or nothing can quiet prepare you for that. A decade ago I was a young, new mom. Struggling (maybe even failing or at least feeling like i was failing) to stay awake and keep you alive, thriving and happy. Now, almost 10 years later,10 wondrous  and love-filled  years later, I am a mum to a confident, lovable, honest and a funny tween. Ten years of so many firsts and every year has thrown me by surprise. Raising you has been a wildly beautiful gift from the heavens above but more than that it has set me out on my path of self discovery too. I discovered motherhood and along with that I truly discovered myself. Starting this year, the next few years will be unsettling to you. After all, you will be colliding head on with adolescence. It is not going to easy my darling, not for you and definitely not for me. But I pray, the love we have in our family, the true strings of
