A Bridal Dream at Mehrangarh Fort

Image
Mehrangarh Fort Dear Diary, Today felt like stepping into a living painting, one painted with history, grandeur, and a touch of timeless romance. Wrapped in a richly embroidered bridal lehenga, I found myself wandering through the majestic arches of Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur . The fort, with its towering sandstone walls and intricate carvings, stood as a silent witness to centuries of royal stories. As I walked through the courtyards, the weight of tradition rested on my shoulders—but not in a way that felt heavy. Instead, it felt like I was being embraced by the echoes of countless brides who may have once dreamed within these very walls. My lehenga shimmered under the golden light pouring in through the jharokhas, every sequin catching the sun like a blessing. The air was filled with whispers of history, and in that silence, I felt my own story being woven—one where dreams, heritage, and beauty merged into something eternal. As I posed for a moment against the backdrop of Mehra...

A Quiet Chapter in Pune

Sweta Singh’s Café Escape




There is a certain charm about finding yourself lost in a book, away from the constant hum of the world. For me, that charm unfolded in a cozy café in Pune, a place that felt like it belonged to both the past and the present.


I am Sweta Singh, 23 years old, and like many people my age, my days are often filled with deadlines, ambitions, and the endless scroll of digital noise. But on this particular afternoon, I decided to pause. I walked into a café tucked into one of Pune’s quieter lanes, wearing a simple casual kurta, my long black hair falling in soft curls around my shoulders, my eyes searching not for notifications but for words on a page.


There is something magical about cafés—the way the faint clinking of cups mixes with low voices, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingering in the air, and the way the sunlight filters through old windows. Sitting by the corner table, I opened my book and let myself disappear into its world.


People may have noticed me—the girl with glowing brown skin and black eyes that occasionally looked up from the book to sip her coffee. But in that moment, I wasn’t just someone sitting in a café; I was a traveler journeying through the pages, exploring stories far beyond the city I was in.


Pune itself has become part of my personal story. This city, with its youthful energy and cultural roots, offers so many little corners where one can pause and just *be.* The café was one such corner—a reminder that even in a fast-paced world, there is beauty in slowing down.


Reading has always been my way of grounding myself. Some people find escape in music, others in conversations; for me, it has always been the soft rustle of pages. That day, I realized that sometimes the best company you can have is a book, a warm cup of coffee, and a peaceful corner that feels like your own.


As I sat there, lost in words, I felt a quiet kind of happiness—the kind that doesn’t demand to be shared, but lingers in your heart long after the moment has passed.


Maybe that’s what life at 23 is all about: finding joy in the little things, creating small memories that shape who you are, and embracing moments that make the ordinary feel extraordinary.

A Day at Charminar – Draped in a Half-Saree

Image
  Hi everyone, I’m Sweta Singh, and today I want to share one of the most beautiful cultural experiences I had in Hyderabad. Walking through the vibrant streets that lead to the Charminar , I could feel history whispering through every corner. The aroma of Irani chai, the sparkle of pearl shops, and the chatter of people all blended into a melody of the city. Amidst this energy, I chose to drape myself in a graceful half-saree , a style that beautifully blends tradition with youthful charm. The half-saree has always fascinated me. It’s elegant, yet playful — a reminder of how clothing can carry heritage while making you feel confident in the present moment. As I stood near the Charminar’s arches, my half-saree in shades of soft pastel with a flowing dupatta caught the breeze. For a moment, it felt like time had paused. Many passersby smiled, some even stopped to compliment. That’s the magic of clothing — it creates conversations, connections, and memories. Standing there, I wa...

Embracing the Horizon – My Trekking Experience

Image
  By Sweta Singh There are moments in life when you feel as if the whole world pauses, just for you. For me, one such moment was standing on a hilltop, arms stretched wide, wearing my favorite trekking outfit and feeling the wind brush against my skin. At 23, I’ve realized that life is not just about routines, deadlines, or social media updates—it’s about finding spaces where you truly feel alive. Trekking gives me that. The long climb, the burning in my legs, the sweat dripping down my forehead—all of it vanishes the instant I reach the peak. Suddenly, the view in front of me makes every effort worth it. That day, the hilltop felt like a personal stage where the universe applauded my small victory. The sky was endless, shades of orange and blue dancing together as the sun slowly rose. I stood there with my arms wide open, as if embracing the horizon, as if telling the world, “I am here, I am alive, and I am grateful.” Trekking has taught me more than fitness—it has taught me ...
