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

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

For the longest time, I had been nurturing a dream of going on a solo trip. But somehow, it never materialised. At the beginning of this year, I told myself that I had to do it this year at any cost.

I was struggling to write a blog post right before I wrote this. Writer's block has hit me harder than Tom hitting the wall while chasing Jerry. I stare at my laptop screen so hard, waiting for the words to materialize on their own. But it felt like a 😶 staring back at me. Ah, the … Continue reading I Have A Writer’s Block
