"XYZ traveling to ABC with 2 others," The things I just keep scrolling all through my feed and then self-loathing. But hey I've had my share of legit new year goals kind of activities-That mandatory first-day workout along with same old Netflix and chill but just this day I scaled new heights of finishing an entire season in a day, (No judgments please). I've been trying to write since Diwali but to no avail. I've had no motivation since then. So now It's me cozying up in my blanket and wishing everyone a very Happy and blissful new 365 days of your life. Probably something I saw while logging into my laptop  I've always been this lazy during New Year or maybe I've never had any late night new year partying plans and even if I get lucky they, unfortunately, get sabotaged by me. I feel I like being this during the new year (guilty pleasures). But as the post suggests I need to shun some of my bad habits which have accumulated over the past few y...

"I need more motivation". This was how I succeeded in putting off my blog post every time. Nevertheless, this is how most of us are- lazy, aimless, impatient, ill-mannered, lacking self-discipline and what not or are interpreted or (misinterpreted). Of course exceptions do exist but long story short we are considered as a bunch of youngsters with an insatiable thirst for wealth and all things material. But the most sought-after question is Are we happier than our forefathers used to be? What is our idea of Happiness?    Leaving aside the alleged bucket list things all of us have most commonly travelling the world, planning a solo trip and many more (no offense even I do have a ginormous bucket list). These are the things which would take some time, money determination and a lot of convincing to do. Probably these cannot be included in our idea of Happiness since they require some conditions to be fulfilled and happiness is felt irrespective of certain st...

Apologies for my "taking forever to post" situation. It has been long since my second blog post. Changing cities as well as college takes a toll on your regular schedule as well as the comfort zone. Numerous astounding adventures, as well as fascinating experiences, took place these last few months. I had lots to write but no time. So finally I have started with my first ever post on one of my traveling experience. I had an inclination towards being a travel blogger but I am no blogger of that sort and these are just some of my exceptional encounters I would like to share. The idea of solo traveling fascinates me to the brim but the constraints as many of you might be well acquainted with have always hindered those transformations resulting in failed plans. Until recently I had my share of experience when I got a chance to travel to Bangalore with my cousin. When siblings meet then starts millions of impractical plannings, trips etc eventually getting canceled but this ti...

Today let me tell you something that I've been facing since long. I've got a habit of over expecting things sometimes or maybe I just pay a blind eye to the minute successful endeavors I have had in my life and think of just the big things. And yes I do fail in them quite often. Nothing unusual but like everyone else I get gloomy and try and isolate myself from all kinds of celebration and socializing just like it's a contingency plan. If I get a chance to be happy I avoid and try to add a condition to my present state of mind that if I get through this I'll do this and I'll be able to get this and the cycle continues. This post is just a self-realization and through Petrichor I've got a chance to evolve personally and get some things straight. We have come a long way and we have a long way to go. Cherish every moment that you get you may never know what may happen next. Happiness isn't always materialistic but the ones that give us inner peace. I don...

As a kid, I had a certain affinity for the smell generated by raindrops on dry dusty land. A similar fragrance that we get from novels, old books or while mopping a very dusty floor (personal experience). So it's my first post as a blogger and I want to shed some light on why I chose this name. I had a really tough time deciding a name for my blog when one of my friends suggested me to name it on something I've always had an affinity for and VOILA the name popped up.  I promise to keep my content short, lucid and as relatable as possible. I am no poet neither am I a writer just a sane person giving a destination to my perception of, a once in a while experience, called LIFE .
