  Delhi at 4 AM to Finally Chasing the Mountains Finally, after spending almost the entire day on the train, we reached Delhi. Thankfully, the journey was smooth and safe. After being on the train for so many hours, though, all I wanted was a bed and some proper sleep. But there was one small problem. We reached Delhi at around 4 a.m. , and we didn't have a hotel booked. Yes, I know. Very smart planning. Thank you. 😂 Since I hadn't pre-booked a hotel, we now had to find one in the middle of the night. So there we were, tired after a full day of travelling, carrying our luggage around and searching for somewhere to stay. Looking back, I have no idea why I thought booking a hotel after reaching Delhi at 4 in the morning was a good idea. But somehow, after searching for a while, we finally found a decent-looking hotel and decided to just rest. I eventually woke up around 11 a.m., feeling much more refreshed. And obviously, the first thing on our minds was food. We went to Sita Ra...

Every Mountain Trip Begins With Excitement I've always been excited about visiting the mountains. There's something about them that holds a special place in my heart. Even though I haven't traveled to many places yet, every mountain trip feels magical to me. This time was even more special because I was finally going to one of my favorite destinations—Manali. The moment the trip was planned, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Every day, I found myself counting down, waiting for the day to arrive. I was so excited that I could hardly wait. Finally, the day was here! There was just one small twist—my train wasn't from my hometown, Pune. It was from Mumbai, so the journey actually started before the real trip even began. Taking a bus from Pune to Mumbai was the best option since it was both convenient and budget-friendly. As expected, I packed my bags at the very last minute. No matter how much I promise myself I'll pack early, it somehow never happens! Once everyt...

  Three Days of Simple Living | Food, Family & Finding Balance The past three days have been a mix of routines, good food, work, and little reminders that life doesn't always have to be exciting to be meaningful. My mornings have been fairly consistent lately. Early wake-ups, walks, workouts, reading, and trying to stay away from my phone for the first few hours of the day. I've noticed that when I start my mornings slowly, the rest of the day feels less chaotic. One thing I'm trying to work on is my diet. For breakfast one day, I had a two-egg omelette with sugar-free black tea. I'm slowly trying to reduce sugar from my daily routine. Not because I don't love sweets—I absolutely do—but because I know my body will thank me later. I'm not planning to give up sweetness completely though. Life without sweets sounds a little too sad, so I'm looking for healthier alternatives like dates. Food has definitely been one of the highlights of these past few days. T...

  June 16, 2026 | Trying to Be Healthy While Being a Foodie The morning started exactly the way I like it. An early wake-up, my usual routine, some quiet time for myself, and a peaceful start to the day. Lately, I've realized that having a routine makes a huge difference. The day just feels more organized when the morning starts well. For breakfast, I had a two-egg omelette with black tea. No sugar. Yes, I'm actually trying to reduce my sugar intake these days. Not because I suddenly became a health expert, but because I know too much sugar isn't doing me any favors. The problem is that I genuinely love sweet things. I don't think I could ever completely remove sweetness from my life. So instead of trying to quit everything at once, I'm looking for healthier alternatives like dates and making small changes wherever I can. After breakfast, I read the newspaper and got straight to work. And honestly, the rest of the day was mostly about one thing: Work. Work. And more...

  June 15, 2026 | Protecting My Peace Today was Monday. I woke up early, around 5 a.m., and honestly, it felt like one of those mornings where everything just flowed nicely. I finished my workout, spent some quality time reading the Bhagavad Gita, read the newspaper, went for a walk, and got ready for the day. There's something satisfying about getting so many things done before most people have even started their morning. Since it was Monday, I also visited the Shiva temple. I offered sugarcane juice and spent a few quiet moments there before heading back home. I always feel a little calmer after visiting a temple. Life may not change, but my mind feels lighter. For breakfast, I had poha and tea. Now, if I'm being honest, carb-heavy breakfasts are not really my favorite. I usually prefer something with a bit more protein, but it was good enough and filled me up. After that, I finished my work and spent some time thinking about something I've noticed lately. It feels like u...

  June 14, 2026 | A Boring Sunday and a Good Reminder Today was Sunday. And honestly, I don't really enjoy Sundays when I know I'm going to spend the entire day at home. Some people love lazy Sundays. I usually find them a little boring. Lately, I've been binge-watching old vlogs by Sourav Joshi. The funny thing is that I never used to watch his vlogs before. But these days, I've somehow fallen into a rabbit hole of watching his older videos. Maybe it's the nostalgia. Maybe it's the simplicity. Or maybe it's because watching those old videos feels like seeing someone's journey from the beginning. What I admire the most is his consistency. Day after day, vlog after vlog, he kept showing up. And honestly, that kind of commitment is not easy. I also like how much he seems to care for his family. These days, we often hear people say that money changes people. Sometimes it does. But it's nice to see examples where success hasn't taken away someone...
