Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visit.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been shuttling between Kerala, my home state, and Mumbai, my adopted one. Both places are rich with incredible spots I’ve yet to explore.

I’m rarely caught off guard, and I feel in control. On the flip side, my tendency to overprepare means I sometimes pack for a trip weeks in advancean amusing habit that doesn’t always win me points with those around me! Last year, I started planning the next chapter of my lifethe phase where I’d leave the hustle and bustle of Mumbai and settle down in Kerala. The plan was to make the move a few years down the line, but life had other ideas. Due to work-related obligations, I had to accelerate my timeline. Today, I find… Today pictured a year ago
