I thought strength meant endurance—the ability to keep going, no matter what. But life has a way of reshaping our definitions. Today, when I look back at the women around me—my mother, my…
The road Trip That Taught Me the Art of Travel
When RB and I set out on our 6500 km road trip from Ahmedabad to Kanyakumari, we thought we had everything figured out. A car bed for camping? Check. A fully equipped cooking setup? Check. A sense of adventure? Double check. But as it turns out, road trips have their plans and don’t care about…
