I was scrolling through my gallery the other day when I stumbled upon some pictures of me when I was 2-3 years old. I could not help but smile at the pictures. There was an unmistakable boldness in the way I stared at the camera; some pictures clearly showed a mischievous spark in my eyes. … Continue reading Finding My Way Back #4: To The Girl I Used To Be

Hello! I’m Chetana.
A Music Buff. A Bibliophile. An Organisation Freak. A Minimalist. A Fitness Freak.
Writing is something I am highly passionate about. Just as people live to eat, I live to write.
I’m a Chartered Accountant by the day and a creative monster by the night (hehe :D). I aim to become a writer, an educator and an entrepreneur.
In this blog, you'll find my musings, introspections, observations and occasionally, some poetry. I even review books on my Instagram page.
My Pinterest and Instagram pages will help you in staying updated about the new posts I put up on the blog. Also, if you love reading, do follow me on Goodreads!
I reside in the sweet and charming coastal city of Mangalore.
Finding My Way Back #3: Healing in Familiar Corners

Finding My Way Back #2 – Between The Pages
When I wrote my previous blog post, Finding My Way Back, I hadn't planned for it to become a series.

Moving to a new city, a new home, and a new routine has … Continue reading Finding My Way Back #2 – Between The Pages
Finding My Way Back
It’s been a long while since I last wrote here. Well, life happened. I got married, moved to a new city and now, moved to a new apartment. And somewhere between packing my baggage and trying to find my way through new routines, my words took a backseat and waited patiently for me to come … Continue reading Finding My Way Back
One Year of Strength
About a year ago, my sister-in-law introduced me to the Sweat app. It is a fitness app created by women, for women. Until then, my preferred method of working out was going on long walks or doing yoga. Yes, I was fit but I was not strong. Despite achieving my desired weight, I was still … Continue reading One Year of Strength

Some call it the art of juggling spreadsheets and sanity. Others call it the art of pretending to have your sh*t together while secretly wishing it was Friday. No matter what you call it, the need for work-life balance is real. In today’s episode of UFC, I explore this topic with Chetana and Prakrithi, who … Continue reading Unfilter Coffee E01: From Hustle Culture to Happy Hours
Introducing: Un-Filter Coffee ☕️
It was another usual work day. To take a break, three work friends grabbed a cup of coffee and took some time away from their laptop screens. And what ensued was an engrossing conversation about hobbies and interests. And before long, an idea formed in their minds. Why not make this idea into reality? Why … Continue reading Introducing: Un-Filter Coffee ☕️
For The Love Of Music 🎵
The dictionary definition of music is, “vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony.” Music to me is a lot more than pleasant sounds. It isn’t an exaggeration when I say that music is what keeps me going ahead. It isn’t an understatement when I say that music is my most precious friend; … Continue reading For The Love Of Music 🎵
