Inside The Fascinating Life Of A Third Culture Kid
As promised on last week’s podcast, I’m super excited to write this reflection about my cultural identity. Shout-out to Verrel as this one was inspired by his posts about Indonesia (which you should absolutely check out if you haven’t already). My Backstory In 2002, I was born in Hyderabad, India, and would go on to spend the next…
How To Be Happy Alone
This post was probably the hardest for me to decide writing so far. Although I’ve become much more comfortable and content alone in the last couple of years, by no means am I an expert on always being happy by myself. Make no mistake, I’m no stranger to feeling lonely. That said, this is now…
5 Important Things I’ve Learnt After 2 Years at University
Ah, reflection posts, my favorite. I really enjoy writing blogs like this one since it feels like journaling, but in a book that others can read too. (Also, Verrel and Khal are in absolute God mode right now and I have to catch up🙃) To say that the Dvij of 2020 and the current-day me…
The Power Of Faith In Something Greater
It’s currently 12:30 AM here in Philadelphia. For me personally, the most profound philosophical thoughts hit in the dead of night, normally as I stare out into the lights of the city.

The next time you find yourself on a plane, train or bus, I dare you to chat with the stranger sitting next to you. I know, I know, weird suggestion. After all, if you’re anything like I am, there’s nothing more inviting than plugging in those headphones and zoning out once you realize that the…
A Letter To Anyone Lost In Life

21 Things I Want To Do By 21
Before I get started – it’s great to be back after such a long hiatus! Now, this is a post I’ve wanted to make for quite a while. I recently turned the corner on my teenage years, officially entering my 20s. For me, this has come with a mix of emotions, predominantly sheer excitement but…
The Miracle of Believing it’s Possible
Hey hey hey everyone! I was talking to my good friend Verrel yesterday about aiming high and setting huge goals. The more I thought about our conversation, the more I realized something really important: none of the big things I’ve achieved in my life have been possible without first BELIEVING they were possible. For instance:…
Dealing With Fear Of Missing Out
Starting university (well, college, since I’m in America) has been an amazing journey. I’ve met a whole bunch of new people, had a lot of new experiences, and tried things that’d normally be outside my comfort zone. I’ve had some really memorable adventures; yet, I’ve often felt that others are having a much better time…
