About

It's always difficult to write the 'about me' part. Easier to pen down thoughts on a specific topic actually.


I was born in Madras, India and grew up in the very beautiful Kochi, Kerala ! I did engineering, just like a lot of people who are left clueless after 12th grade. I then tried my hands at wedding planning and quite enjoyed it. But didn't think I could make a career out of it. Next what? I was always fascinated by number games and strategy. And so I entered the corporate world in 2012 and worked as a revenue strategist in the media industry for almost 4 years ! I then got married and moved to Kuwait where I spent 2 amazing years. I am currently in Dubai, living with my husband and my cat, and enjoying some Middle Eastern luxuries.

I love writing, travelling and taking photos, yes, lots of photos. I write about topics that touch a chord with me, could be every day ramblings to travelogues to opinions about various subjects. This is my first blog post written in 2011.

PS (6 Dec, 2022) : In January 2021, in the middle of Covid, I had decided to stop updating my blog. I hadn't traveled in a long time, and I was struggling with the lack of inspiration. My life had become hectic, and I felt like I had no time and space for keeping my blog. But over the last few months, I have slowed down. I feel like I worked hard to get to this point, where life is more tranquil, and I have found so much time by moderating my netflix intake. I also realized that at some point decades down the road, I would like to read about my own travels. So this is more a journal than anything else, especially since I am not active on other social media channels. Something I'll look at when I'm 60 and reminisce my older travels.

  1. I have gone through all your posts today Shruti :) Its worth reading about your pre and post marriage experiences even for a person like me who doesn't even know you that well. The posts are finely articulated, maintains a good connect with the reader and most importantly are closely related to our day to day life ! :)
