Guess who just got a Wacom tablet for Not Valentine's day? Guess who will also be occasionally comicifying their experiences? Apologies in advance :) #sketch #comic

Bought myself a Mi Band (Xiaomi's FitBit) and it totally motivated me into going for an early afternoon walk to bring up my step count. Because seriously when you look at your fitness tracker and it shows you've only walked 700 metres the day before, it's quite depressing. Plus I have the lovely Begumpur Masjid right next door, sleepy dogs in front of it and the park is full of people who don't have to go to work on a Monday. Mostly young men. Slightly disturbing. #mibandwalks #stayingalive #delhicacies #cityslicker

Exploring emotions in other languages today, but still haven't come across the one that means "the feeling of gloating satisfaction mixed with the feeling of coziness when you have one perfectly beautiful corner of your home." #flowers #tangerine #kitchen #domesticgoddess

Walking through the airport, checking out the Accessorise sale, suddenly notice two fluffs playing with each other, while their handlers watch. Obviously I had to stop and say hello to Peppa and Sunshine, who it turns out are professional therapy dogs trained by the awesome @animalangelsfoundation, which takes pet dogs from people, trains them and takes them old age homes, orphanages and so on. Mumbai's T2 is the only airport in Asia to have therapy animals on hand, and volunteers hang out on the weekends dividing their time between the domestic and international sections. SO COOL. Next time you're flying through Bombay, give them a pat. #dogstagram #fluffies #cityslicker #traveldiary

My heart's all "admit it, you miss Bombay" and I'm like "yeah duh sea views but not the crowds and the crowdiness" and my heart's like "really? Not even a little twinge watching everyone so busy so energetic so getting someplace while you've been living the slow life in Delhi and in Goa" and then I'm like "hmmm. Anyway I'm not staying long enough to get tired of it and these fleeting visits make it way more romantic in my head." And my heart says "look look at that road, that building, that restaurant, didn't you leave a piece of your twenties there?" #cityslicker #bombay #traveldiary

I've literally never been to Haji Ali for all the long years I've lived in Bombay. Not the dargah, not the juice centre. Well, that record hasn't broken but I did sit outside it waiting for my ride so that sorta counts right? #bombay #traveldiary #cityslicker

Trip to Bombay for Bombay-ey things and I thought I'd get myself in the Bollywood mood by reading the two most recent star autobiographies (Karan Johar and Rishi Kapoor). An Unsuitable Boy is the least self aware memoir I've ever read, illustrating all that is wrong with Bollywood ("my dad was so sad that his rakhee sisters didn't give me the award") ("so hurt that Kareena asked for more money, how dare she") ("why should I make movies about poor people? Don't rich people have problems too?") and yet, and yet, if you read it straight through it'll teach you more about the ins and outs of the Indian film industry than anything else, I think, just by examining a privileged person. Also hugely entertaining even while you're rolling your eyes. #150in2017 #bookstagram #nowreading #mrmbookclub
