Frames

in my glam era

this career choice rejected my asthmatic a**

first self-draped saree

first homie down

we showed up

spotted in Chennai from a moving auto

found my calm here

the Ganga in the haze

these over chandeliers, any day

the man behind the music - Amit Trivedi

he looked right into my soul

Google girls at GHC

first time professionally glammed up

the full look

turned 24 - reduced residues all prime

planted 5 saplings, took 50 pictures

first time go-karting

the go mode

bought it once, used it twice

bought it only to build it - my idea of fun exercise

swimming color palette

tell me you see the man and the elephant too

a man, a flute, and the night

green therapy

Shakti

bold between boulders

that time I made a newspaper handbag and we won

yummy

MS Office, literally

would lose here due to exhaustion, not bad strategy

dining on water, eating seafood - diabolical

pretty chandelier

hat girl era, briefly

ambiance doing all the work

successfully used chopsticks

our little Bengal in Hyderabad

marigolds and divinity

Marina Beach: 1, my hair: 0

every inch has a story

found my spirit animal in a car window

more modaks, yay

I am all ears

lost in deep thought: where is the food

let me sho-yu some ramen

bliss

they let me in a recording studio

let's discus

mishti doi - the only therapy I need

mandatory yearly ritual

socially distanced, appetite unaffected

getting my hands dirty

Ramoji Film City - came prepared

too pretty to eat, ate it anyway

Bengali thalis are the best

city lights and a good mocktail

the city below, the palace above

back on the track

a glimpse of royalty

white kurtas, many degrees

where's Waldo, convocation edition

the degree, in hand

the day I defended my thesis

finally made it to a conference in person

safely posed with the ones that can't run

caught mid-laugh

first day at the office, nothing like the TV show

tried to be cute, became a mouse

last minute script check before show time

25 years of IIIT

last visit before the thesis defense

just another day on campus

my favorite lecture hall

walked into a palace, as one does

the shirt said it, I believe it

restaurant-ready in a saree

professionally doing nothing

the bob era begins

late night campus walks

late night, full backpack

freshman year, main stage

came for the birthday, stayed for the ice cream cake

a few more minutes and my nose would've matched his

nothing in the hat, no tricks up my sleeve

market finds: mostly hats

Christmas tree, orange couch, no regrets

the print did all the talking

receiving the award from the President of India

that time I was in the Republic Day parade

the group photo with the PM

that time I shook hands with the PM

national recognition, 2019

the day I met Prof Rajan from ISRO

three under a tree

academically, 2015 went well

they said dress to impress

oh deer

white dress, black jacket, no notes

the best garden guest

living proof that nature shows off

always in motion

the time I used to build 3D models out of thermocol

mom and the grumpy tiger

learning to read, but can't walk

the day I discovered food beyond milk

chilling in nana's arms

headlines on cheap plots, bought none
