Thank you @paperboatdrinks and @AliporeThe for this magnificent opportunity to be a part of your summer celebration! I am officially in my Haibun era. Pleased to share space with so many talented creatives! 🙏🙏

Wohoo... My first poem in English language is published. 💃💃💃💃💃 Thank you @paperboatdrinks @AliporeThe. It was a rare n cherished chance to stretch my literary muscles through poetry. It was exhilarating n also incredibly soothing, stirring up a beautiful sense of nostalgia

Thank you for this @paperboatdrinks & @AliporeThe 💛🧿

@somadexterous @paperboatdrinks @AliporeThe Ah, the intoxicating duality of verse—at once a balm and a spark, awakening dormant memories while massaging the intellect. Nostalgia never wore such elegant syllables.

Looking for recommendations to a beautiful spot in Himachal to spend a week in early April. 🌲🌲🌲 Somewhere quiet, affordable, located amidst trees and gentle trails, away from vloggers and selfie takers. Please share your fave finds with me. Thank you in advance. 🌿♥️✨

Hello! I have a little essay in this anthology by Nivaala and The Alipore Post - it's about 'cooking as inheritance'; my grandmother's kitchen vessels and generosity. There are pieces by 90 other writers there. DM for a discount code :) order link here: nivaala.co/memories-on-a-…

fyi the next time you’re at cubbon or lal baug: notice the large boulders. they’re from the Dharwar Craton and roughly about 3.2 BILLION years old. ❤️‍🔥

Love and flowers go hand in hand … flowers are an integral part of language of love :) Soft sunlight falling on the flowers, creating a beautiful shadow pattern .. is a language of love. What’s your language of love? -@studiobotanicalsbhag #hoovufinds
