Russia, Unexpectedly
Sometimes the best journeys are the ones you never planned.

A corner of the cottage
Books that stayed, comics that were lost to termites, stories read under blankets, books borrowed and never returned, and the peculiar happiness of finding exactly the right book at exactly the right time.
Sometimes the best journeys are the ones you never planned.
I really don’t know what my friend, Preetha had in mind when she gifted me a note book. Neatly wrapped in a pretty blue wrapper, she had sent it across as a no-occasion gift. But why did…
“Breaking the shackles, breaking the tangles, finding a brother, a friend in the other;
Of summer afternoons, a little leather trunk and the childhood world inside those pages.
Of school friendships, handwritten memories and the delicious anticipation of a letter.
