I know our pleasures are fickle and our life is fleeting but this frame pretty much sums up a perfect source of happiness. Catch em when they’re young. Hold on. But know one day you have to let go.

LIVING…LOVING…STRETCHING in an illogical world.
I used to run. Obsessively. Like all my other pursuits. I stretched in different cities, before beautiful monuments, hardly noticing what was in front of me. I used to live so fast I missed both everyday beauty and enduring grandeur. I know I was trying to outrun myself, when really, all I longed for was to find my way home. #ClosetotheBone #writingdebut #preordernow

Summer ready. Bring on the heat.

Because as a wise poet once said, to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. And that is the central theme of my life and my book, #ClosetotheBone on preorder now. I would be grateful if you would read it. I know how distracted we are, how we are pulled in a multitude of directions. But words, sentences, reading, books; are they not the antidote to feeling disconnected in a world that tries so hard to make us notice our separateness when we are more alike than we know?

Somehow I have always had a brazen conviction that a life lived on my own terms is the only life worth living. This is one of the reasons I wrote #ClosetotheBone @harpercollinsin #preorderlinkinbio image @mourya MUH @lalrini
Do you measure yourself by the things you have or the experiences you’ve had…and will have? Do you live with a belief, deep in your philosophic core that nothing is wasted.
No experience?
Nothing?
Even the hardest, the most difficult.
Or the most everyday?
Even this?

Mom wrote a book. It’s called #ClosetotheBone We heard her tell someone it’s available for pre-order today. It’s probably pretty good but do you think it has pictures and cool pop-ups?

Dare I say #Srilanka is a very special place for me. I shot a film there; I found myself recently in its Western Province to heal and find solace on a retreat. I am in shock. May the fine paradise of Serendib – from which ‘serendipity’ or ‘happy accidents’ derived from- find solace and healing from the terrible events on Easter. Western Province, Sri Lanka
Whenever I remind hubby of his promise to return to #Borabora where we honeymooned, he tosses back some transcendental wisdom I’ve spewed like: ‘You can’t talk about vacations without discussing how we are subconsciously geared to only accept it in certain forms.’
Damn. I shouldn’t have to say that all spiritual/self development teachings do not apply to matters of travel. For now, I have to content myself with a nostalgi-pic.
The world is freaking crazy. To try to conform is madness. So…just stand out. Live your cray out loud. That’s my philosophy. Read about it in #ClosetotheBone my writing debut. Pre-order link in bio

After the storm #hongkong
Musing on the sea of stories we each carry. We are soon leaving this beach for new shores. #drifters #voyagers #freshadventures Discovery Bay
Into the wild. A reprieve for busy minds and busy thumbs. #DiscoveryBay
Setting our sights on going home. Finally, after years of vagabonding, and tasting what the world has to offer, the sweetness of returning to India with my family. As TS Eliot wrote: ‘we shall not cease from exploration, and at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.’

Cause that’s just me. Happily and cheerful rowing north at 47. Many specific parts of my body are going north as well, but that’s a different story. I’m relishing this wise, no-fucks-to-give, ‘should-less’ phase, where we women in particular stop seeing ourselves as merely units of production, serving others and hoping for scraps of validation from men and the world. Of course this realization has come after years of struggle and a brazen conviction that a life lived on my own terms is the only life worth living.

Here’s the thing: there’s no limits to growth if you ‘keep a green, growing edge’. My first book comes out shortly, I’m a new mom, we are moving home to Mumbai, somehow I’m working on cool, stimulating projects in front of the camera, I find myself in a new speaking career delivering motivational talks and you know what, I damn well give myself a break and eat that extra piece of chocolate ganache when I please.
#CLOSETOTHEBONE Repost from @harpercollinsin using @RepostRegramApp – In her life, @lisaraniray has worn several masks – model, accidental actress, MM activist, spiritual seeker, wife, mother. In #CloseToTheBone, she sheds them all with raw honesty, layer by layer, word by word, to reveal her authentic self.
Pre-order on 18th April, 2019!

Either you’re with me or against me. Either way it doesn’t matter. We do what we want.
