This post, in many ways, is a continuation to a post I had done earlier called ‘What do the Walls Say?’ Although the previous post was more a comparative study between the textures and art of Athens and Hong Kong, this post looks at two cities in Turkey – Istanbul and Bodrum. Although both these […]

The Stories That Are.. Vol. 7
I am so kicked about this edition of The Stories That Are.. I stumbled upon these pieces and it formed a great theme for the fortnight – Street Art. I love love love street art. It is so mesmerizing! There is so much of an artist’s personality that comes forth in their art. I was fortunate […]
Lost in Mykonos
Having been to Ibiza last holiday, it was but natural that we go to pay our respects to the ‘party’ island of Greece this time. To be honest, I liked Mykonos a lot more than Ibiza, not because of the party scene, but because the island, especially the city center is so charming. Very typically […]
Dr. HONG Jekyll and Mr. KONG Hyde
I was going through some of the old photographs that I had taken and here is a set I found in the old archives. These pictures were taken when I was in Hong Kong and documenting Sham Shui Po for my thesis. I had been to HK before, but this trip left me depressed. The […]
The Stories that Are.. Vol 4
What a lovely combination food and art is.. and here’s why .. 1. Msz Know-It-All (http://mszknowitall.com/) This is my dear friend Shruti’s blog.

Our lives are not just about us and what we think and what we do. Our lives are so driven by the people around us. With this post I start a new series of guest posts on ‘A Bit of This and a Lot of That’. I have known Nirepjeet for a long time. We […]
The Week that Was… Vol. 1
I got this idea from a fellow blogger, Audrey. She has a cooler name to this post series called ‘Shareable Sundays‘ where she highlights posts from the previous week that she really enjoyed. I am just about a month old in the blogosphere and I already have tonnes of ideas and posts to share with […]
What do the Walls Say?
As a student of Urban Design, a part of my study course required me to travel to Hong Kong and Athens, where my project was to be set in. I was fortunate enough to travel to these two cities in a span of a month as the memories of one city were so vivid in my […]
The Curious City
I moved to a new city a month ago. Moving is not new to me – have been doing it all through my childhood, it is an integral part of me. However, nine years ago, it had all stopped. My roots started growing in one particular city which I, now, very fondly call ‘home’. But […]
