Lessons from the Chilli Plant
Sometime towards the beginning of the year, I got tired of the drab view out the window & decided to add some colour. Potted plants seemed like the best option. The window soon filled up with varying hues of green. The Gulbakshi soon bloomed, adding a dash of vibrant colour to the view. It was…

The Gulbakshi in the Window
Mumbai – a city where everyone is chasing their ideal home dream. Some want one that’s high up enough to let them mingle with low-hanging clouds. Me, well, I dream of something that’s at the opposite end. Don’t get me wrong though. I’d love to have a home with a view that opens up into…
