Coming from an Indian heritage, the one thing I treasure deeply—aside from aging like fine wine—is the food. The aromas, the rich spices, the layers of texture and tradition. For those just scratching the surface, it’s butter chicken and CTM. But dive deeper, and Indian cuisine becomes a euphoric journey, each dish telling its own …

The Picture That Broke Me Open
There are moments in life that arrive quietly—without warning, without fanfare—but leave an imprint so deep, you feel them for days, weeks, maybe even forever. One such moment came to me in the form of a photograph. A simple picture. One I didn’t even know existed until someone placed it in front of me and …
How a sitcom, a heartbreak, and a shift in perspective redefined how I see myself—and love
Perspective is everything. There’s one text from my ex-husband that’s been seared into my memory—not because it was romantic, or dramatic, or life-changing.

The Origin of “Good Luck Vivi”
“I think I have a new investment idea!”. My Friends ears perked up when she noticed that a punchline did not follow that sentence, which is usually the case with me. “Yea?” she said, sitting upright in her chair now, “What sort of investment?” “Ok, have you seen the movie Good Luck Chuck?, well I’m …
Lost and Loving it.
“Oh Hello October, 2018, when did ya creep up on me?” That precise question is what I woke up to on October 1st, 2018. I was staring at the ceiling, giving into gravity and refusing to fight against it. It was the sixth day after my 33rd Birthday and I held the day hostage at …
