I am, to be honest, a little scared about writing this blog post. Frankly, because, these are terms not to be used loosely or lightly. There is an elephant of a difference between feeling anxious and suffering from anxiety. Between that of being sad and being depressed. These are territories I am probably not qualified…
How to care for your mental health during the Lockdown
Truly Daily- 28/01/20 Thoughts from a newly wallpapered bedroom & an year to quitting my job
Well, what a blasphemy to begin with. I had to start the blog with a phone photograph because my camera lens cannot get the whole room and the phone has a wide angle. This will probably be the first. But then again, the last year and this have been years of many firsts. From quitting…
Truly Daily – 23/01/2020 Spring & Movement
Looks like we have emerged victorious from the lull and blues after all. I mean how could you not when you have bright pansies blooming in your garden. Sure the Christmas tree and all things glittery, hot chocolate and rum cakes do leave a void in your heart but a bright purple certain someone can…
Truly Daily: 20/01/20 Life's A poetry in contrast

Weekly: Feeling Deciduous & a Simple but Effective DIY
Fall colours, an easy fall DIY and a very weird week coming to an end. A week that could use some flowers, a movie and a glass of wine. Some Tea perhaps made with love. And a good candle burning somewhere with its soft, flickering flame. In fragrances of peony, Lilly or something a bit…
Weekly: Limoncello, 10 rupees & Other Musings
Time for Trumatter Weekly, ladies and gentlemen. A column {well sort of} that I write for my myself {and you, if you are interested in some serious indepth ranting} every Friday because lets face it, this blog is my best friend and there is way too much happening week on week to keep it within…
Weekly: Just A Friday Post from Mumbai
Friday. Well, the rain sort of stopped a bit and it was nice and sunny after a while. Took out my camera and shot the loverly monogram kitchen towel that Rohina from aa.living sent in! I am so super heart for everything monogram- I am never quite using this to clean up. I am guessing…
