The Boomerang - Kangaroos and Koalas - A day at the wildlife park in Sydney


Getting used to Sydney like never before, eluding divulging silence in my heart, freeing myself off inhibitions; I was flying across seven seas. Well, I didn't mean to sound that poetic ;) It is just that the world is celebrating V-day and the fever has gotten into me.

Coming back to my Sydney Boomerang series… (Find a recap here)

When I landed in Sydney, I almost forgot about the fact that I am in Australia; a place known for the most pristine landscapes in the world. It also is home for some beautiful animals - If someone asks me what I love about Sydney, I’d say Kangaroos and Koalas. On second thought, why leave out little Wombats, Possums and Wallabies, they are cute ones too, right?!.

A Joey says”Hi” At Featherdale Wildlife Park, Sydney

Hello there!


It was a scorching summer day, perfect nevertheless for a trip around the city and we headed to the Featherdale park in Sydney. I was lucky to see some friendly animals native to Australia here. I remember when I took a newborn Joey in my hands which is by far the most amazing experience and I literally wept later thinking about it. This place is just magical the settings are perfect; the attention to detail is amazing, the animals you get to see are unique and leave you amazed in the way they are let out in the open.

Marsupial Paradise
I always wondered how love can be defined physically and God gave me the answer – Marsupials. They carry their fragile young ones in their pouch as they give birth at a very early stage. This is how nature defines love and I am thrilled every time I think about that experience at Featherdale Wildlife Park.

Here are some Pictures taken by me in the park:

Look at me!


I am dangerous


I love to sleep


Hey you!


Take me to India :)


This experience left me with having a profound sense of attachment and respect for wild animals. 
Thank You, Sydney!

A life without pencil erasers?

This morning, I got a good dose of philosophy from the newspaper. It isn’t very often that you get to read unique articles and this particular one definitely made my Friday morning a thoughtful one. It was the ‘World View’ column with the title “Pencil Erasers may be the ‘devil’” that caught my attention. It got me thinking about the process of unlearning taught to us at school. A lot of questions popped up. Why do we hide our mistakes? Why isn’t it okay to make mistakes? Why are we taught to make up for a mistake? Why aren’t we taught to look at the mistake and learn from it? Why do we erase a mistake? Why aren’t we being naturally ourselves? Why do we need an eraser? The last question is what instigated me to write this post. What if Edward Nairne had not invented an eraser by accident? What if we were never introduced to the concept of the eraser at school! I should admit that the little wad of rubber that undoes all the mistakes made by your mighty pencil is inde...

Diet Horror Story

Food in the time of dieting. This is exactly like love in the time of Cholera, only, here, the love is for food. Your cravings are at an all-time high, you surprisingly become more lazy, you feel anxious when eating out, you are looking up every diet plan there is in the planet, your best friend suddenly looks thinner, your weighing machine needs repair and perhaps you are even subconsciously praying to god to help you shed those extra luggage. It is not because you have started eating a pea less than before that your body feels so weird when you start a diet. No. If you have any of these symptoms , trust me, your body has nothing to do with it. I am not a diet expert or an aspiring model, but I know what I am talking about. I have been through this outrageously pathetic stage of my life during my adolescence when I felt that cringing need to diet when some really jobless people called me a pumpkin, literally. I was too young to reason with myself. I started this tailored diet pl...

Make Up and Me (Not Me)

They say people who don't know to dance have two left feet. Although, I might have two left feet myself, what is more interesting is I might actually have two left hands. Okay, I understand that's funny but here is why: If you are a girl or a boy or a boy who looks like a girl, you would probably know that it is a thing now to have a makeup blog or vlog or youtube channel in your name. I bumped into this world of cosmetics, beauty blogs and tutorials only a few months ago. For those who don't know about it, let me tell you, it is a crazy, ruthless and unbelievable world. Picture sourced from Google Heard of these? Snail slime masks, Placenta hair masks, Seaweed bathing creams, Microblading.... and endless other such insane stuff. These are insane but quite popular among beauty enthusiasts and they even swear by the benefits of such products. These are otherwise cringe-worthy products in my world. I use gramflour+tumeric face mask, Coconut oil hair mask and  a...
