Just a Random Outing 29-07-2024

Spent the day at the mall and somehow packed it with everything I love — good coffee, great food, and a bit of friendly chaos.

Started off with my classic Starbucks fix (because what’s a mall trip without coffee?). Then I spotted a Korean bun stall and decided to try one — cheesy, warm, and way more addictive than I expected.

But the highlight? Bowling with my cousin. Between the loud laughs, near misses, and one accidental strike, we had way too much fun. Competitive? Yes. Serious? Absolutely not.

Just one of those spontaneous outings that leaves you full — in the best way.

Delhi Diaries: Colors, Chaos & a Click 🛍️ ✨ 28-07-2025

Hi everyone!!!

Took a stroll through Lajpat Nagar Market today—one of those places where every corner is buzzing with life, colour, and a hundred conversations happening all at once.

From vibrant fabrics to tempting street food, it was a full-on sensory adventure. Bargaining voices, clinking bangles, and that familiar Delhi buzz—it never gets old.

Snapped this random shot somewhere in the middle of it all. Just felt right to freeze the moment. After all, sometimes the best stories are the ones tucked between shops and street carts.

Movie Night: Fantastic Four – First Steps 🔥🦸‍♂️ 25-07-2025

Just got back from watching Fantastic Four: First Steps—and let me tell you, it delivered.

The story had a fresh energy, the action was sharp, and the characters? So well done. It truly felt like the beginning of something big. But the real jaw-drop moment? That mid-credit scene. Absolute chaos—in the best way. The whole cinema screamed.

Marvel’s cooking something wild, and I’m here for every second of it. No spoilers, but... you’ll want to stay till the end. 👀

Soft Skies and Strong Brews☕✨ 23-07-2025

Stepped out today for a little solo reset—and it turned out to be just what I needed.

Caught the most beautiful sunset that painted the whole sky in gold and calm. Then stopped by Chaayos for a cold coffee that somehow tasted better just because of the mood.

Sometimes, all it takes is an hour outside, a good view, and something cold in your hand to feel brand new.

Snapped a few pics to remember this quiet little escape—sharing them below 🌤️📸

A Day in Delhi 🛺📍 19-07-2025

Took a quick trip to Delhi today—and as always, the city buzzed with energy and stories at every turn.

From exploring its busy streets to catching up with my cousins, the day was the perfect mix of chaos and comfort. Laughter, street food, old monuments, and shared memories—it felt like hitting pause on life and just being in the moment.

Here are a few photos from today—Delhi through my eyes and heart 📸✨

(PS: Nothing beats that warm, familiar madness when cousins are around.)

Homebound Skies: A Flight Back Home✈️🏡 14-07-2025

Hi Friends!!!

There’s something about airport chaos, window seat views, and the quiet hum of a plane that always makes me reflect.

This flight wasn’t just a journey across cities—it was a return to familiarity, to comfort, to home. A suitcase full of memories, a heart full of gratitude, and skies that reminded me it’s okay to slow down.

Here’s a little glimpse of that day—just me, the clouds, and everything in between. 💭🌥️

Movie Night Thoughts: Jurassic World: Rebirth 🦖🔥 05-07-2025

Just watched Jurassic World: Rebirth and wow—what a ride! This film brings the franchise back to life (literally) with jaw-dropping visuals, smart callbacks, and enough tension to keep you on the edge of your seat.

The mix of nostalgia and new-age storytelling was so well done. The dinosaurs? More terrifying and majestic than ever. The plot? Fast-paced but emotionally grounded. And that final act? Pure chaos—in the best way.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just in for the thrill, Rebirth delivers.

F1: The Movie 28-06-2025

Caught F1: The Movie in theaters last night — and wow, what a ride. There’s just something about watching an F1 engine roar on the big screen that hits different. The sound, the speed, the tension in the pit lane — all of it was done so well.

The cinematography was stunning too. You could feel every turn, every near-miss, every heartbreak on the track. Even if you’re not a hardcore F1 fan, the movie pulls you in.

Honestly, watching it in the theater made all the difference. Total immersion. Great movie, great night. If you haven’t seen it yet, go while it’s still in theaters — trust me.

Let me know what you thought if you’ve seen it. Still can’t get over that final race sequence… 🏎️🔥

The Summer Diaries 12/06/2025

Hi friends!!!

Just got back from a trip that felt like a slow movie. Long drives, late sunsets, too much coffee, and photos that almost got the moments right. Thought I’d keep a piece of it here.

It wasn’t perfect, and that’s the best part. The kind of days where you don’t realize you’re making memories until you’re packing to leave. I don’t know — something about summer makes everything feel both loud and quiet at the same time.

Here’s a short video I made — just clips, light, no rules. Like the trip itself. Also, leave your favorite summer memory in the comments if you feel like it.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson 20/05/2025

Hi friends!!!

So, I just finished another book written by John Green, and as usual, it was absolutely beautiful.

This book is a wild mix of heart, humor, and awkward teenage chaos — and somehow, it totally works. Co-written by John Green and David Levithan, Will Grayson, Will Grayson tells the story of two very different teens with the same name whose lives crash into each other in the most unexpected way. What follows is a story that’s equal parts ridiculous, emotional, and oddly profound.

The writing switches between the two authors’ voices, which makes each chapter feel fresh and distinct. It’s a story that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still hits you with lines that make you stop and think.

At its core, the book isn’t just about identity or romance or even friendship. It’s about connection. About how people unexpectedly change each other’s lives — even in the smallest, weirdest ways. Definitely not your typical coming-of-age story—more like a musical with some real soul behind it.

If you like stories that are funny, a little chaotic, and secretly full of heart, this one’s definitely worth picking up.

Where the Sky Meets the Sea 19/05/2025

Hi everyone!!!

There’s something sacred about early mornings on a coastal road — the kind of quiet that doesn’t beg to be filled. Just the soft hum of tires on pavement, the whisper of waves brushing the shore, and the sky slowly spilling open with light.

No rush. No noise. Just you, the sea, and a stretch of road that feels like it could go on forever.

Here’s a little piece I wrote during one of those drives — a moment captured in stillness:

Coastal Dawn: the sea breathes slow, half-asleep under a sky still stretching from its dreams. light spills gently, not to wake the world — just to remind it it’s still here. a road curves like a secret only you were meant to find, and for a while, everything is quiet, possible, yours.

~ with love, Elfy.

The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini 28-04-2025

Hi everyone!!!

So, I just finished reading this book, and here's my review:

The Kite Runner is one of those books that sticks with you long after you finish it. Set mainly in Afghanistan, it follows the complicated friendship between Amir and Hassan — a bond shaped by loyalty, betrayal, and deep regret. Hosseini's storytelling feels personal and honest, making the emotional moments hit even harder.

The book isn't always easy to read because of the tough themes like guilt, war, and forgiveness, but that's what makes it powerful. The characters are so well-written that you can't help but feel for them, even when they make mistakes. It's a story about second chances and how the past never really stays in the past.

If you’re looking for a moving, beautifully written novel that really makes you think, The Kite Runner is definitely worth reading.

Killing Commendatore - Murakami 12-04-2025

Hi everyone!!!

Just finished reading Killing Commendatore, by Murakami, and here's my honest review:

I’m not, in general, a hater. And goodness knows the internet has more than enough negativity already.

So let me start by saying this: the remote, mountainside setting in Killing Commendatore is thoroughly magical and engrossing. Murakami does atmosphere so well—those foggy, quiet hills feel like a dream you’re not quite ready to wake up from.

That said… this book is, at a minimum, 200 pages too long. I love a good, detailed description as much as anyone, but there is such a thing as 'too much of a good thing'— and unfortunately, this one crosses into the latter a few too many times. I love detailed writing—truly—but there were moments here where I found myself wondering if a scene really needed to be that drawn out. (Spoiler: it didn’t.)

I haven’t read Murakami before, so I’m not going to judge his entire body of work based on this one book. It had some lovely, strange, and thought-provoking moments. Just… maybe too many moments overall.

Still going to try reading more Murakami though, don’t get me wrong.

Small Shells, Big Feelings 11-04-2025

Hi friends!!!

Visited a turtle reserve today and watched baby turtles make their way to the ocean. It was quiet, except for the waves—and them, wobbling their way forward like they knew where they were meant to be.

There was something about it that hit deeper than I expected. So small, so fragile, but so certain. Just…moving toward the unknown with everything they had.

I think I needed to see that.

A Night Made of Stars 11-04-2025

Last night was one of those unexpectedly perfect evenings. We drove out to the beach—just a craving for salty air and space to breathe.

The sky was ridiculous. Like, stars-on-steroids kind of clear. And the ocean? It mirrored everything. We sat there for hours. Talking a little, mostly just listening to the waves and watching the tide come and go like it was breathing. Sometimes all you need is a night like that to feel okay again.

Anyway, I’m posting a few of my favorite shots below. Not edited too much. Just the beach being beautiful and dramatic as always.

Mountain Things 01-04-2025

Hi everyone!!!

Spent the weekend up in the mountains and honestly, I didn’t want to leave. We went on a trek that nearly killed my legs but was 100% worth it. Fresh air, endless green, and the cutest little rose garden tucked away like a secret.

Also—tiny water canals running alongside the trail?? Felt like something out of a storybook. Posting a few photos too, but just had to say: nature really knows what it’s doing.
