 Its been a while since I wrote. But I haven't failed to notice 3 beautiful things in my life all these years!


- It's winter time in Delhi and it rained this morning. While I am not a big fan of rains, it sure looks amazing outside, misty and cozy.

- I had samosa after 7 months and thoroughly enjoyed it, so happy. 

- I am not religious but there is a temple near my house where an aarti is performed every morning and evening. Temple bells are really soothing! Something about them.
