This morning started off as most mornings do these days...quietly. Spoke to the bestie who's doing her own lockdown in a different continent and waited for the calm of the morning to be broken once TO got up. And it did. Excuse the segue here but I fail to understand how people can say "bachchey... Continue Reading →
Songs For Social Distancing…
Hey if I could come up with a list of songs which go against social distancing, I can surely find a few which are all about it as well. Let's take a look, shall we? Again, no order or preference to them. Just the ones which popped in my mind- 1. Run Snow Patrol 2.Hit... Continue Reading →
