Some trips are more than just travel plans. They come from a feeling you can’t quite explain. This visit to Nagaland was one of those. It felt like going back to where parts of me began. What followed were days filled with colour, culture, familiar faces, and moments that brought back memories while creating new ones I know I’ll carry with me. This blog is also deeply personal because Nagaland is where I was born. […]

As the years go by, the way I travel has changed. I still enjoy seeing new places, but I am less interested in rushing from one spot to another. What matters more now is how a journey feels while you are in it and how settled you feel when you return home. Our three days in the Sundarbans fit well into this rhythm. Day 1: An Easy Start We started on the 21st of December […]

Some journeys do more than change geographies, they restore rhythm, confidence, and connection. Our three-day journey to the White Rann with SilverGenie’s Wanderlust Genie was designed precisely with this intent: to create a travel experience where discovery is held gently within care. We set out from Ahmedabad on December 4th, our senior cohort gathered with anticipation and assurance. From the very beginning, the SilverGenie promise was evident. Pick-ups were punctual, logistics seamless, and transportation managed […]

‘Joto Mot Toto Poth’ — as many minds, so many paths — is a reminder I return to often. Truth does not demand uniformity. Each of us approaches the sacred from a different lived reality, and that diversity is not confusion but grace. We don’t need to walk identical roads to arrive at truth; we only need to walk our own with honesty. Different paths don’t dilute truth — they enrich it. Integrity of intent […]

We had a six-day, five-night trip in the third week of November to Neora Valley National Park and East Sikkim via Zuluk through the Silk Route till Gangtok. This was a fabulous travel experience, and I will briefly touch upon these below. Neora Valley National Park Neora Valley National Park is a sprawling reserve forest that spreads across an area of about 88 sq. km. It is situated near Lava in the Kalimpong district of […]

This festive season, our Wanderlust cohort travelled to Chandannagar to witness the celebration of Jagadhatri Pujo, a festival deeply rooted in cultural pride and spirituality. Jagadhatri means “Holder of the Universe.” We began our day with tea at Ahare Bahare before continuing our journey. This was a small reminder of how these small gestures of care and understanding truly stay with us. Our first visit was to Brahmanpara Jagarani, a glowing pandal filled with a […]

Traveling solo, especially as a woman, is a wonderful adventure filled with unique experiences and discoveries. As someone who works in the international development sector and travels solo around the world, India was an exciting and enriching destination. While attending the Care and Climate Entrepreneurship Accelerator kick-off in South Asia, I made sure to set aside time to visit the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra. With safety as my top priority, I carefully planned and […]

Hanoi woke softly, bathed in gold. At a little café called Noted, time seemed to slow. Strong coffee, quiet chatter, and the warmth of a new beginning filled the morning. Around the corner, the French Opera House stood with quiet dignity, a reminder that grace can be simple. SilverGenie had planned the beginning of the trip with accessible local walks, shorter transfers, and trusted partners who understood how pre-seniors travel, with comfort and not rush. […]

There’s something about Durga Puja that always touches the heart, the steady beat of the dhak in the distance, the fragrance of incense mingling with laughter, and that quiet sense of belonging that only Pujo brings. This year’s Pujo Parikrama was all of that and more, a tender mix of devotion, memory, and discovery. Many of us began the morning with a bit of doubt, wondering if the long day, the traffic, or the crowds […]

I still can’t believe I was in Kerala! Writing this now, I can feel the fondest memories come alive again. This trip wasn’t just about travel—it was about trying new adventures, breaking personal barriers, and collecting moments I never thought I would get to experience. We landed in Kochi on the 10th of September, and the adventure began right away. Our first taste of Kerala was a comforting plate of idli, sambar, and filter coffee—simple […]
