To the friends from school, college & University, to the best friend I married, to the colleagues who became my extended family, to my husband’s friends who made me feel like I was always their friend, to my son’s friends’ mothers who are some of my close friends now and to my friends from the writing fraternity, thank you for making life a little more bearable and smoother with your presence.
Happy Friendship Day!
Here’s the much needed break we recently took to Sunderbans.
Snippets of a weekend getaway to the land of mangroves and tigers to take a break from the mundane life and tsunami of exams that secondary school seems to be all about.
The transition from being just married to surviving 15 years of marriage. Here’s to driving each other nuts for an eternity. Happy anniversary, partner! 🧿
P.S. – Thank you for the wonderful surprise! Love the bloom.
My birthday on 29th May began with a surprise cake cutting just as the clock struck 12. It was the last day of our vacation.
Mayfair Kalimpong resort is one of the most gorgeous properties I’ve stayed in. Watching Kanchenjunga from our room, spending hours inside the library, exploring their natural blooms and sitting at the deck with a cup of coffee turned out to be the small joys of this vacation I will always cherish.Â
Here’s the last part of our trip to Kalimpong, Lava, Lolaygaon and Deolo.
On day 3 of our vacation, we visited the Cactus nursery (Pine nursery) followed by a trip to the Durpin monastery and Durpin Dara view point. It was late afternoon by the time we finished lunch and it started drizzling when we started for Lolaygaon. The picturesque view during this road trip amidst the cloudy, foggy and rainy weather led to a surreal experience.
Here are a few more snippets (Part 3) of our recent trip to Kalimpong, Lava, Lolaygaon and Deolo.
Savoring the view from Deolo followed by a visit to Graham’s home, Triratna Buddha park & scrumptious lunch at Cafe Kalimpong.

I started blogging in Sep 2017 when I was seriously considering switching careers from banking to writing after moving cities. 8+ years later, soniasmusings.com is still going strong and my articles are ready by people from 150+ countries.
It took me a moment of faith to take this leap and today I look back at my journey as an author with heartfelt gratitude and satisfaction. Thank you, WordPress, for the stats.
The excitement of signing copies of my book ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’ last Monday at STORY. Thank you Srishti Publishers & Distributors for arranging this.
What’s brewing?
Stay tuned!
