Started towards the end of 2017 for 'therapeutic' reasons, From The Corner Table is now an open digital journal, a chronicle of experiences both past and present. A destination for people with varied interests, this is a space where I share real thoughts garnered from travels, experiments in the kitchen, conversations with experts, leisurely reads, and binge watches. Have a cuppa with me at the corner table, and join this adventure!

Small... steps.
Not the prettiest or the best in town but even the smallest attempt to reconnect, redefine, revive matters. 

Blowing the dust off this drawing pad, the watercolours and brushes was easily one of the best parts of Sunday - its been more than a decade since I’ve attempted returning to the world of colours. 

Here’s wishing me the best as I attempt to find another way to express myself! Perhaps these watercolours will make me feel a little more alive, just like the paints themselves! 

Can’t thank @penandoar & @kanikajunejastudio enough for organizing such a fun, arty morning!

Friend
There are those friend(s) who know almost everything about you. And then there is that friend who know absolutely everything - from the darkest secret to the most embarrassing moment, your desires, goals, dreams, aspirations, everything. For me, the first is @punithanupama and the second is my personal dairy, the one I spent a few minutes with every single day (or try to!) Seems only fitting then that the ‘friend’ prompt features my journal.

Prompt 8 - 30-prompts challenge

If journalling has been on your to-try list and you need pointers, a conversation with journaling expert @moon_aur_moon of @history_hive might just be the push you need. Link in bio!

Fun!!! ⁠
I don’t love every kid I meet. I know we are supposed to but some kids are oh-so-annoying! But these two, these tiny humans have me wrapped around their little fingers. And that pure love ensures I have the maximum fun with them! I could listen to her gurgles endlessly and I have all the patience in the world to listen to his descriptions of toy helicopters with “only one fan on the top and 3 lights”. Fun, for me, doesn’t always mean jumping around or laughing till my gut hurts. Fun is when my soul smiles, it feels happy. And with these two, its bound to be fun. Every single second! ⁠

Golden, the hues of the sky every day. ⁠
Truth be told, some days I miss those 3 months of complete lockdown, when life was at a standstill and there was time to watch the sky change colours - every shade of the rainbow, every day.⁠

The perks of being a solo traveller are plenty. But there are always tiny battles to be fought along the way - and these battles obviously differ from person to person. In my case, one of the things that would freak me out (anxiety attack alert!) was the thought of eating out alone. ⁠
.⁠
For some it is liberating, as it is for me now. But in the earlier days, the thought of being stared at as I ate alone was enough to see me scurrying into the closest McD to gobble in the room. Better alone than be mocked - that was the thought. ⁠
.⁠
It took some trial and error and a lot of self-convincing to muster the courage and head out alone. And I promise, as cliched as it sounds, it's been oh-so-liberating since! Now, all I can count are the perks of eating out alone #grinshard⁠
.⁠
But it’s easier said than done. So when I bumped into a message by a fellow blogger who was putting together tips that could help solo travellers dining alone, I shared my two-bits. Head over to the blog to read the article so beautifully curated by Heather Markel; and while you are at it, pop over to read the one I'd written some time ago. Coz while we may not be back to travelling the way we did, I'm hoping it'll be a reality again, soon enough. ⁠

Happiness... & a little story.
.
Maa celebrated her birthday in the last week of January. An important one it was, this birthday in 2021. In the pre-2020 world, the day would have been celebrated in a grand manner with family & friends. But we live in times where such celebrations have been pushed into the ‘perhaps next year’ box. 
.
But how a milestone not be marked? @raka_bhaumick @souvik.dutta & moi put together our heads for a special gift. The solution - reaching out for handwritten letters. We asked Maa’s siblings (by birth & through marriage) and her besties to pitch in - and they did! 
. 
Letters were written, photographs clicked and sent via WhatsApp; the letters were printed on the sly and hidden until the main day. Yes, she loved them all. And today, she pulled them out to read again, smiling to herself and at times, reading out parts to me. If this smile on Maa’s face does not fit the prompt ‘happiness’, what does?

Something Blue - a slice of life, a peek into life as one looks at and beyond the vista
.
I have high regards for the individuals who make New Year Resolutions and stick to them! It's a complete no-go zone for me now. I think, I plan and then... I forget 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
But I have a feeling that the resolution for 2021 might just be one that I'll be able to stick with - it's about the objective rather than the longevity or 'due date'. 
.
Like the 30-Prompts Photo Challenge - 30 prompts that push me to look beyond the surface, think, act. And the best bit? It'll add some more colour to my Instagram feed (we all want that!)
