*On the road, traveling to the roots - As many people that many ways* - Next post on my #roadtrip looking for #spiritual #traditions and the work done by masters who walked this land is on the link on bio. This post is looking at the beings who were #realized and #enlightened in their times. Their lives have been intriguing and has given raise to many questions of why the tradition to celebrate such people has fallen down the cracks. #india #tamilnadu #spiritualmasters #gurus #southernmystics #mysticism (at Thiruvanaikaval) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIUo-cLlpO2/?igshid=ht83sg0vfwbe

Leaving this town with mixed feelings. Thank you for making life beautiful here. In all the mad travelling in the last year and a half, Raipur stood for home. Going home meant going to raipur. . Although, Bangalore going to be convenient for the traveling and it was home before Raipur, it will still take some time before I make the garden city home again. Love you @gargichandrawanshi @smitamutt, arvind, sovan for making life in raipur happy and exciting. #raipurdiaries #lastpage #goingtomissit #movingtoanewcity #movingout #micdrop #goodbye #toomuchfeelings #moved #grateful #intears #bowdown (at Swami Vivekananda Airport New Terminal) https://www.instagram.com/praveena_sridhar/p/BujOh44F6yn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bgixerdk9j8h

I made this sabudana khichdi last night. For the first time ci did not think I can pull of this. Although v simple in prep it's one of the trickiest of dishes. Marathi manussan log, here I come! . And guess what, the master taster at home loved it too @suhasd1988 #foodie #icook #homefood #homecooking #marathifood #sago #javvarusi-upma #javvarusi #sabudanakhichdi #marathimanus . . Fun fact:marathi and all of central India eats this during fasts. This dish must be one of the most calory rich foods we Indians have. Why the sham! Why? Recipie from my all time favorite website, veg recipes of India - https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/sabudana-khichdi-navratri-vrat-recipe/ (at Raipur) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqrIdMlFYLt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ul2b96b15zhj

Here i come #Assam. This time for a longer stint, I hope. And to caress your natural beauty and love your people. Of course., I got to dress up in a new saree for my first off visit for a new project. . I loved the air, the green, the undulating narrow roads of Guwahati. The love for its narrow roads is only for the morning walks/runs. To drive and get to some place in this city is a challenge in this city. And never trust the time Google maps gives you. It always takes more than what Google map says, atleast an hour. I tried to run on these inclined roads and recorded my worst run-time. But what the hell! I have begun to run again. I am simply happy about that. . I am wearing a sangira/boysenberry colored #tussarsilk #saree with an off white border. I don't know who gifted me. Mostly my mother. . This travel si special because it's after a record, this time. I stayed and worked from home for 30+ days. Suddenly on the road and I get my insta - voice comes back. . #sareeoftheday #ilovesaree #indianweaves #sarees #blouses #indianformal #running #ilrunninginnewplaces #ihavebeguntorunagain #worktravel #traveldiaries (at Guwahati, Assam) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqLCrORFqN2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vdkgji7ftsfe

Sweet potato boiled and mashed and seasoned with oregano and chilli flakes. This is prevelant and eaten in this season here in Central India. And Google says : #sweetpotatoes Sweet potatoes are a rich source of fibre as well as containing a good array of vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, selenium, and they're a good source of most of our B vitamins and vitamin C. #foodie #homefood #healthysnack #healthycooking (at Raipur) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpWJOdMlSQd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w30jbpaj3svo

Hello Instas. Feels like its been for ever since I was here! Its been long since I came back to Raipur. Have been a bit quiet and busy in finishing one of those un-finishable assignments. You know there is always that one or two assignments that never have a smooth sailing, they are always that knife hanging on top of your head. Poor assignment, the time it arrives in your lap, you never have the time to look at it because you are flooded with some or the other important work continuously. And you can never sleep peacefully with this one knife hanging on top of you! So I pull out my 2 year old worker clothes- knee length dungarees. I have loved this clothes since I was 12years. . #dressesotherthansaree #dungarees #home #workclothes #working #workingforever #helloinsta #backafteralongbreak #clothesilove #childhoodlove #childhoodclothing (at Raipur City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo_HyAcFVAT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ki6uknpsqc4u

I paint on the road ziggy-zagging across the country. By now I am used to ziggy-zagging on work. Now the work intensity has only quadrupled. So I now have a head buzzing all the time with work. . Thanks @vindhyajavali for this gift. Best gift in a v long time. Some random paint swooshes and some random strokes on some line doodles. . The most exiting thing about the gift kit is the water brush. Which holds water inside it and comes out to the brush tip like that of a fountainpen. The only difference is that water comes out when I press the brush body. . #happiness #fieldwork #ontheroad #thingsidounderstress #happinessisabrushwithwaterinit #waterbrush #sketchoftheday #doodlesofinstagram #doodlesketch #gratitude #misshome #madurai #inmadurai #sketchesofinstagram #moleskine #paintingonwritepad (at Nattam, Tamil Nadu, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoG3XO7FDpb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=83fnx55u8gke

A festive occasion and meeting with family is worth pulling out my favorite saree, a plain blue silk saree that belonged to my grandmom (mama's mom). . I paired it with a pink silk blouse with a boat neck. . And yeah, don't be scared of those wideeyes and the swollen face.to add to this the bigger red bindi! It's just the travel and nights of shalow sleep in different places. . #sareeoftheday #ilovesaree #indianweaves #SouthtoNorth #saree #indianformal #indianwear https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMbvotndhx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dqr11wd4cnnl

I got a haircut/ a trim to shape my weirdly growing hair some direction and some semblance of order. While I wait for my confenrecr call, I am mustering the courage to see how the haircut has come out. After being on a short haircut ( my mom and mother-in-law call it boy cut, I call it punk or pixie etc ) now my nth attempt to grow my hair to let it cross the shoulder length is not easy. The time taken for my hair to grow beyong my neck is too long and I get uncomfortable and impatient and cut it off. This time around my plan to get over the discomfort by giving doffenent trims and styles as it grows , sulllloooky, nevertheless. #random #hairstyle # haircut #shortolonghair # transition #changeinlooks # trials #onthemove (at Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport)

I travel so much , I almost miss spending time with this one. Spending time with him watching #marvelcomicuniverse movies, discussing work) policy, or religion or just bugging him to cook me something, nag him for silly things and irritated him or going out on long motorcycle rides or traveling and exploring new places. I miss this prankster who tries real hard to establish a perception of himself as a #prick. His attempt at portraying himself as an a$$#0!€ so persistent that, sometimes even I fall for it. @suhasd1988 And when I look at the time we have spent together in a small town without the larger family support system , he has been supportive for me continue with my life as if I were still single and pursuing my work full steam! I only wish he cared more about himself. #majormissingscenes #letsgohomequick #goodbloke #husband #thisone #missing #emotional #gratitude #thisguy #toocoy
