This is my story

Our lives are filled with stories. Love stories, travel stories, work stories. Stories about lessons learned, family, happiness, hopes, dreams, and mistakes. A collection of fragments, words bound between a cover. A dance between people, steps, smiles, emptiness and fulfillment. A tango with the devil, a jive with an angel. Absorbing sensations the way a […]

Delhi boys

Delhi boys are a specific type of Indian men I was told by my friend, who is also a self proclaimed Delhi boy. It is a status you can obtain through birth, of course, but the real Delhi boys conquer their title through certain actions and a way of life. I need to be careful […]

Can life be any more beautiful than this moment

Finding beauty in every single moment, is like breathing happiness, breathing love. A simple, easy love. Not for a specific person, but for everything around you. A love where your soul is dancing inside your body. Because love is the force that makes life worth living, gives it colour, depth and warmth, it allows us to […]

Get your back into it!

Yoga, as my teachers here are explaining in detail, is not just a workout, something to do a few times a week, getting yourself sweating and panting, before you indulge in some heavy food, alcohol and selfish living. Yoga is a way of life (1. yama), self discipline (2. niyama), physical postures (3. asana), breathing […]

Forget the money!

Two months down. Highs and lows, laughter and tears, embracing the new, letting go of what is lost. The mind tends to forget the difficulties and remembers the beauty. With a good reason behind it. As you will reflect what is inside through your outside. Your appearance and presence are a direct mirror of the […]

Namaste b*tches!

Change. My mind, my thoughts, my dreams, they are constantly aswirl. Sparkles of excitement find their way through the cloggy barriers of every day life. This must be the thundering thirties I imagine you are thinking. The period in your life when you over think the decisions you have made, the direction you have chosen. The first steps in your […]

The good, the bad and the crazy

Either you love it or you hate it. That is the general feeling people have about India. If I talk about my feelings towards this country some people start smiling, get dreamy eyes and sigh “ah yes, India, I love it”. Others look at me with a blanc, slightly frightened expression and disbelieve in their […]

That Delhi feeling | The sequel

“Be confused, it’s where you begin to learn new things. Be broken, it’s where you begin to heal. Be frustrated, it’s where you start to make more authentic decisions. Be sad, because if we are brave enough we can hear our own heart’s wisdom through it.” 5 months since the last time I walked the […]

Let’s be fools for once

‘Life is short, enjoy your coffee!’ This previous ending forms now a new beginning. Or as Bob Dylan sang ’the times they are changing.’ After five years in which I have been constantly aswirl, filled with think-rambled days, I will be leaving my zuidas, corporate adventure. Exhilarating years in which I have learned, laughed, worked […]

Milky moonlight in a pitch black sky

“Soulmates aren’t the ones who make you happiest, no. They’re instead the ones who make you feel the most. Burning edges and scars and stars. Old pains and pangs, captivation and beauty. Strain and shadows and worry and yearning. Sweetness and madness and dreamlike surrender. They hurl you into the abyss. They taste like hope.” […]
