A Letter To My Future Self

Dearest Nikita,

I write to you today in utter hope that someday when you read this, you look at yourself the way I look at you. And I know you are very much thinking like you are unworthy of half the things you dream of or want. I know that deep down you crave having you by your side more than anything else, and I want you to know that you have me. At all times. I will always be by your side, subtly hinting you things in your difficult times and letting you know that no matter how much of the society thinks you should do things in a certain way, or behave in a

Not yours to claim 💁

Basic Bitch Filter. Also back to red hair! 🐽

Happy Place!

I am genuinely going to miss you so much. You and I we have had our own journey together. From you blocking me from Facebook to you getting me the best gifts on Rakhi. I am always going to pray that your journey ahead in life is filled with all the success and love you deserve. Show Melbourne how talented you really are! 💜 Most importantly, I love you 💙😚 #Bhai #SoonToBeChef #KickassCarromPlayer #KabutarFear #KaruTheKabutar (at Terminal 2 , Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport , Mumbai)

When trying to be cute.

Being a well-rounded individual is admirable. It means you have many skills, adapt well to situations & your shape resembles a pizza. What’s not to love? But it’s naive to think that you are a well-rounded person if you’ve only ever experienced the world from your house, with your family and in your city. What you know is very little compared to all that is actually out there in different places, occupied by different people, who are submersed in a completely different culture.

I believe that wisdom is a passport full of stamps. Every single time I’ve traveled, I’ve been both astonished and embarrassed by my own ignorance, but I’ve also realized it’s not completely my fault! I’ve been taught certain things throughout my life that I’ve labeled as “normal” and so have you. Traveling is the best way to discover that “normal” is subjective and everything you think is the standard, is actually just an opinion. For example, did you know it’s illegal to sell gum in Singapore? Did you know in the Rastafarian religion, make up on girls is considered unattractive? Yeah. Imagine never having to wing your liner because THAT is the hot thing to do. Sign me up. Twice.

The world is a classroom and you should make every effort to attend as many classes as possible. I highly encourage you to save up a little every month and put that money towards travelling to new places and learning new things. Let the globe burst your bubble, disrupt your sense of reality & put your learned thought-process to the test. Personally, travelling has helped me be less judgemental, open to new ideas & a really great story teller because who doesn’t want to hear about how awesome the Pad Thai is in Thailand?! No one. The answer is no one. If people don’t want to hear about food, they’re bad friends…and probably robots.

Having said that, I’ve decided to travel as much as possible before the manuscript for my book is due. I’ll be writing the rest of my book in Italy, Toronto, Brazil, Kenya and Singapore (while chewing NO gum). You can pre-order my debut book “How To Be a Bawse” right now at LillySinghBook.com or by clicking the link in my bio. Tag 3 friends you want to travel with! #BawseBook

Happiest Birthday to the most important person in my life. You are amazing. I miss you to Pluto and beyond. You've always held it down for me, while believing in me that I am more than the voices in my head. Thank you for being there. And I love you 💜
