A day at by:
Had been eyeing since forever and finally made it.

Started with a restorative yoga including my favourite stretches and yoga Nidra followed by self Abhyanga! This session was refreshing and included tit bits by Neha about how these little things can make a difference in your everyday life!

After breakfast with a killer view at, an ikigai session by. While ikigai hasn’t been new to me, this one brought up thoughts and you ll probably see a whole post on it soon!

Then after lunch with that same killer view, a session by Usha on visualisation and more before calling it a day!
I loved this Shiopan I tried yesterday from by. It’s crusty, soft, buttery and just the right amount of salty. Basically, shio means salt and pan means bread.

Funnily, I remember eating a lot of bread in Japan but not specifically Shiopan. May be it was just a usual bread there a decade ago. I know on my next trip I will be looking for it!

And I am going to update this caption once I have tried it in a whole lotta ways. Until then, have you tried Shiopan? How do you like to have it?
There’s something about that’s been unmatchable - smoky beers, cats and boardgames, the whole vibe. With workshops, I guess they have been a third place even before the term ‘third place’ came to be!

Swipe through to see how glad I am here that they are in Goa! Took my cattos, got to do their Boni, finally got my mug club membership, welcomed the beer from Pune and had such a happy evening with and the Doolally team!
Someone recently said that they found Before The Coffee Gets Cold on my stories and loved it. So I thought let me share what I have been reading lately - yup all the Japanese authors!

And somebody else recently shared that for them Japanese books are light reads and it got me thinking - I never found them light. They are very deep in fact, also nostalgic given my life and travels there.

It’s like that society has strong layers. I’ll never be at the crux of it. I would have to be born Japanese for it. Damn it. But I think of myself as somewhere in between. And that probably makes it intense enough.

It’s interesting how the same book can be so different for different people, based on how much you already know, how much you can read between the lines and just how much can fill in with unsaid things mentally!

It all started with book club that got me into reading.

And the Japanese bookathon with Butter by. They said don’t judge a book by its cover but I totally did and and I’m glad I did. I love butter, I love yellow and I love Japan. That was enough to keep me thinking about it after one sight for a month when I travelling to Indonesia.

I came back from my trip, craving for silence. And that took me to after forever. I bought Butter. I figured I wanted to write about food the way Ayako San did. Yes of course, I ate freshly made rice, with cold butter and little bit of Shoyu the moment I read how she wrote about it - through her words and then literally. Yum was an understatement.

And after that, many more visits to that book store, many more Japanese authors and many more ‘read’y nights!
,, Mizuki Tsujimura, Michiko Aoyama, Sanaka Hiragi and and all of them have just taken me deeper in Japanese culture!
Yup, the kids took their first train from Goa to Mumbai. It wasn’t easy and yet it was super easy!

I always dreamt of travelling with the cats ever since I got them. Did the travel training and figured flying with them by myself was not even possible! So I waited and waited for this opportunity!

Comment ‘how’ and I’ll share all the deets on travelling with pets on the train especially from Margao!

Thank you for helping me with this one!
Toyama, my 47th! Japan has 47 of prefectures and this was my celebratory trip!

Swipe to catch the Kansui Park, the Starbucks there, taking the tram to Iwasehama, an old town, some sake tasting, iconic homes and a bunch of snow!

Toyama is underrated and really gorgeous. Head there on your next trip? And follow me for more adventures from this country I will forever call home!
3 weeks in Japan and 1 night had to be in a Ryokan. Planned months ahead. Booked few days before ofc.

But my requests were - between Kyoto and Toyama, there should be snow, there should be outdoor onsen and this was February!

And it was exactly what I found at in Yamanaka onsen! River view onsen, private onsen, sauna, massive tatami room and snow clad streets and mountains around.

I signed up for a typical ryokan dinner and breakfast that showcased specialities from the region! Uff and I was so full!
I grabbed a sake ice cream when I went for a little stroll!

✨ Follow along my on for everything on all the 47 prefectures I have travelled through!
These cafés in North Goa actually got me back into reading. All it took was spotting that one eye-catching book and some others that everyone’s been talking about.

Some cafes have really pretty bookshelves, some follow the take one leave one concept and some even have their own book clubs.

And with Goa’s susegad life, you actually have the time to pause, read and linger with a side of a nice burger and some coffee!

Send this to someone who loves books!
