Happy Anniversary to us. Cheesy and okay with being cheesy in lurf (as Woody Allen said)

Thanks @kbeauty.komalrampal for the skin tune up yesterday in your beauty bar. So nourishing for my dry skin after all the travel. And what a serene space. I’ll be back
Thanks @dipikablacklist for connecting us 🙏🏼 Next stop Kerala.
All the feels.
Loved the vibe on Kareena Kapoor’s Show #whatwomenwant season 2 on 104.8 ishq. I’ve always admired Bebo for her beauty and her choices and her ability to embody whatever role she chooses. And now I can share she’s an excellent interviewer – warm, empathetic, smart and engaged- and I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but it’s always meaningful for me to watch a strong, female role model step up and ace new challenges.

A snippet from my talk on the best tool for transcending difficulties and living your best life for @shrmindia and @thrive_india
DND until further notice.
Thank you @maneesha_panicker and #SilkRouteEscapes for introducing us to this sublime boutique villa #Vismaya, a chic and secluded slice of traditional Travancore architecture renovated by Swiss German architect Karl Damschen, where the air is electric with the breath of the backwaters and it feels the moon might just descend into my lap.

If you haven’t seen the sunset @kayalislandretreat why not? What’s wrong with you! Need extra endorsements of its stupendous untouched natural beauty, besides, well, just me? Just so happens @natgeo announced that the sunset in Kakkathuruthu, a tiny island on Vembanad lake in Kerala where @kayalislandretreat is situated is one of the best experiences a tourist can have `Around the World in 24 Hours’.
But don’t take anyone else’s word for it.
Feel it in your bones and feast your spirit when you visit.
Well done @maneesha_panicker
May I bask a little in the afterglow of presenting a copy of my labour of love #ClosetotheBone to Bebo during our interview which prompted her to promise to give it place of pride in her library. Yes, gave me all kinds of feels. Kareena the host makes you want to give a damn. Can’t wait for this engaging interview to come out!

This review is from a very talented writer. I bow before her words. I met Amu recently feeling the hand of serendipity bringing us together.
Repost from @amutedstory using @RepostRegramApp – I don’t usually read non-fiction and having read and been disappointed by several “celebrity” memoirs picked at random from airport bookstores, the genre is something I have been careful to avoid overall.
.
But Lisa Ray’s ‘Closer to the Bone’ sets itself apart, standing tall and golden like wheat from the chaff. The story of how I came to the book is interesting: I happened upon an interview of hers on @filmcompanion. Before I could roll my eyes at another celebrity author, I was struck by Lisa’s depth of thinking and ease of articulation. I ended up listening to her rapt to the finish, and ordered the book immediately after. As someone who has been struggling with the after-effects of trauma and depression, stories of healing had a particular draw.
.
The prologue, written in the self-assured and unique voice of the author, combines surprising depth and humour, setting the tone for the rest of the book. Even though I was not particularly interested in the celebrity gossip or the story of her glamorous beginnings, it was this voice of reflection that carried me through. This is a true memoir, with a singular voice reflecting on the changing self, becoming and coming undone, making and remaking itself through the vagaries of life. The writing is direct yet elegant, with beautiful turns of phrase leaping out from the page even in the more pedestrian parts. I can’t wait for this warm, assured writing voice to turn its lens onto other subjects.
.
Reading about somebody’s life can feel voyeuristic, but it is in the quiet searching, the wrestling with life’s biggest questions, the reflection on our closest relationships that I found my own self reflected. The addition of a moving epilogue penned by her partner was a fitting end to the book. Underneath it all #closetothebone seems to say that we are all the same, falling and rising but interconnected in ways we cannot comprehend. If you’re looking for inspiration without any pretensions and an easy yet deeply humanist read…
The current his and hers reads on vacay in Kerala.
I’m devouring @messycooking_alwaysvegan #TheBodyMyth like a particularly tasty Malabar prawn curry. So much of her narrative is hitting the spot
Repost from @jurganawi using @RepostRegramApp – …1.10.19…spa vabali/Berlin… This Book is the most powerful, inspiring and touching memoir! She is a cancer survivor and a warrior!
I’m still reading and love it holding under arm everywhere😎
