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

@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.

Located by the iconic Howrah Bridge, this 170-year-old market is a photographer’s dream and a storyteller’s paradise.

Come, join us for a walk, soak it all in, and let Calcutta’s colors stay with you long after you leave. 💛✨

'I’ve learnt that you just have to keep showing up, every day (or as frequently as you possibly can), actively making time for some form of release, some way of slowing down time.'

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: https://t.co/Ipb61Lynup

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?
