A year after finishing treatment for breast cancer, my life appears deceptively normal. I am "back to my old self" and yet everything feels different. Not all of it is bad though - ironic as it sounds, cancer has filled me up with life (would still only give it 1 star) In this episode, my friend Dujju and I talk about my "new normal" - the struggles, the emotions, and the joy that life is when you get a second shot at it.

I got diagnosed with cancer. It was unexpected, as such things are. This episode is personal, emotional, and an attempt to share a bit of what the first month of this long journey has been like. My dear friend (and the person I recorded my first ever podcast with) Dujju is the host. I dedicate this episode to the people who held my hand at my weakest, and stand as pillars while I fight the battle of my life.

Chances are you have atleast one European city on your travel bucket list (if not all). Dreamy reels from influencers (or your friends who took a job in Luxembourg) keep beckoning you. But it’s not a cheap destination for an average Indian – so how do you plan a stress-free vacation to a continent with 50 countries to choose from? I caught hold of Sudarshan, a (self-proclaimed) Europe travel consultant, and asked him the secret behind getting to those historical European towns with cobblestone streets, mulled-wine stores, and beautiful flowers – turns out, a simple strategy shift can help you get the best out your next trip to Europe.
