Whether it’s traveling, fashion, cooking, photography, or painting, I love diving into new experiences. Blogging has recently become a significant part of my journey, taking me from a beginner to a thriving professional in social media marketing. It all started during the COVID-19 lockdown when I decided to channel my creative energy into a blog. That’s when I bought the domain IdeasandMind – a space to share my passions, inspirations, and discoveries.

Fashion is something I’m deeply passionate about. I love experimenting with Western and Indian outfits while keeping up with global trends. Pinterest is my go-to for discovering fresh ideas and styling inspiration. I believe fashion, like culture, reflects the uniqueness of each individual and society, and I love exploring how it evolves worldwide.
 
Travel is another major passion of mine. I cherish exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, trying unique cuisines, and meeting amazing people. Each destination adds something new to my life’s lessons, teaching me about resilience, wonder, and joy. I’ve had the privilege of visiting some breathtaking places like Nepal, Dubai, Kashmir, Kerala, Leh Ladakh, Srinagar, Gulmarg, Manali, Jibhi, Kheerganga, Dharamshala, McLeodganj, Shimla, Kasauli, Jaipur, and Agra, kanyakumari.
 
Trekking holds a special place in my heart. There’s something magical about camping under the stars, cooking simple meals like Maggi in the mountains, and connecting with nature. The cold nights, warm clothes, and starry skies create memories I’ll treasure forever. And let’s not forget mountain sunsets – the vibrant colors of the sky are nothing short of mesmerizing.
 
One of my favorite travel experiences was my first international solo trip to Dubai. The city amazed me with its discipline, stunning architecture, and endless attractions. While I missed a variety of vegetarian food options, I fell in love with Kunafa, a traditional Arabic dessert that left a lasting impression.
 
As a proud foodie, cooking and eating are two of my greatest joys. From momos and pizza to rich Indian dishes, I savor every bite. While I haven’t shared recipes on my blog yet, it’s something I’m excited to dive into soon.
 
Photography is another creative outlet that I adore. I love capturing sunsets, nature, mountains, beaches, and candid moments. Every picture tells a unique story, and photography allows me to preserve those memories forever.
 
Painting is yet another hobby that brings me immense joy. Colors have a magical way of lifting our spirits. I’ve learned that life is like a canvas—you can fill it with any colors you choose. As beautifully expressed in the movie The Sky is Pink: ‘Your sky, your colors—you can fill it with any colors you choose.
