Hello!

Welcome to Darakhth (‘Tree’ in the Urdu Language)! Thank you for subscribing and joining me in this exciting journey.

As a literature student and a professional lawyer, I have much to say, observe, feel and communicate through my Art (paintings, drawings, long prose, poetry, random ramblings).

The Earth, its dwellers, other inhabitants (especially trees), food and words - fascinate me!

I hate re-adulting, narcissism, papayas (the fruit - don’t even ask or offer), humid weather and am overcoming perfectionism.

I love creating, am learning and aiming to be a consistent artist.

I am a masala chai person.

Coffee made in the Moka Pot mixed with cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate, on a leisurely weekend morning, especially when made by my spouse, is my kind of love :)

My husband (AR) and I are school desk and lab partners, turned best friends, who dated much later, had a long-distance relationship for 5.5 years out of the 7.5 years together.

Then we insisted on getting married, and since then, have consistently, deliberately and intentionally worked on ourselves and our marriage (no news to anyone that it is hard work). We have our unique takes on this institution.

We collaborate and are trying to lighten up and light up our lives with road trips, birding, trips and/ or staycations solely planned for chilling, peppered with our individual dreams, hobbies and desires.

We love our home and love it when someone else feels that it is a warm, cosy, and inviting home :) We loved making improvements to it (through DIY projects undertaken by the Boy or DIY Nameplate painted by me) and adding interesting, weird and intriguing knick-knacks that excite us.

I would love to share the above and much more with you.

Thank you for being here!

May you always find a warm hug, kind words, a comforting community and a cosy abode whenever in need of one!
