Doing the right thing is the hardest thing, and hard things are hard, this I’ve always known. But this harsh truth isn’t more stark or graver than when it comes to cases of people who care for animals not because but despite the society at large. I’ve always been a pet parent, animal lover and an advocate for animal rights. But I couldn’t have imagined that this aspect of my […] - [Top 10 Apps And Websites Travelers To India Must Have To Enhance Their Trip](https://theboholiving.com/top-10-apps-and-websites-travelers-to-india-must-have-to-enhance-their-trip/): First time travelers to India can feel overwhelmed with the drastic change from what they’re used to, things can get chaotic and confusing pretty fast, but luckily India is at the heart of a digital boom, and consumer targeted technology is one of the best in the country. There’s an app for pretty much anything, and personally, I find that these apps have made life so much easier, especially if you’re in a metropolis. I’ve compiled a list of the apps below which will help holidayers, slow travelers, and even expats improve their India stint, and iron out confusions regarding […] - [Mountains, Monasteries, Mutts, & Marshrutkas: A 10-Day Solo Adventure Through Georgia & Armenia](https://theboholiving.com/mountains-monasteries-mutts-marshrutkas-a-10-day-solo-adventure-through-georgia-armenia/): A slow-paced, mostly unplanned journey to a land that blends the culture, chaotic charm, and the untainted beauty of the mountains, Central Asia and Europe, that was my 3-country Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia) trip. I spent 21 incredible days exploring these neighbouring gems from India — wandering old towns, sipping wine with locals, taking many a Marshrutka across scenic mountain passes, and losing track of time in flea markets and fortress towns. Even though Georgia and Armenia were part of my 3-Country Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia) trip, this travelogue focusses only on the Georgia part of it. Georgia […] - [10 Delicious, Quick, And Healthy Vegan Indian Inspired Breakfast Recipes](https://theboholiving.com/10-delicious-quick-and-healthy-vegan-indian-breakfast-recipes/): I’m not sure about the “most important meal of the day” part but for sure breakfast is my favourite meal of the day and one that I spend the most effort on. I love starting my day with a fulfilling, healthy and plant-based breakfast and try to make one everyday. I typically start working late into the day, sometimes even the noon, so I love to labour overbreakfast, make a nice tea, play some podcast and linger. And my idea of a breakfast isn’t a muesli bowl or toast-butter or any such supermarket hacks but something made at home, one […] - [10 Ways To Decorate Your Temporary House For Free: For Renters, Slow Travelers And Digital Nomads](https://theboholiving.com/10-ways-to-decorate-your-temporary-house-for-free-for-renters-slow-travelers-and-digital-nomads/): After having lived a nomadic life for a while now, I've aced the hacks to do home decor for free or at minimal cost. - [My 3-Week Azerbaijan, Georgia, And Armenia Solo Trip From India: Itinerary, Costs, Visas, Details](https://theboholiving.com/my-3-week-azerbaijan-georgia-and-armenia-solo-trip-from-india-itinerary-costs-visas-details/): Deciding to address my lingering travel withdrawals and a dusty passport seriously, I needed to go somewhere. I’d forgotten what an uncomfortable flight, near starvation from not finding vegetarian food and 25,000 steps in a day felt like. Enough was enough, I booked tickets to Baku and from Tbilisi, and went on a 3-week, 3 -country Azerbaijan, Gerogia and Armenia trip which incidentally marked my 42nd country. (If that matters.) While I’d originally planned to do a Central Asia trip covering all the 5 ‘stans, during the research stage it transpired that it wasn’t a light trip you could just […] - [Sucks In The City: An Uncomfortable Transition Rehoming in Bangalore](https://theboholiving.com/sucks-in-the-city-an-uncomfortable-transition-rehoming-in-bangalore/): it's not just the physical landscape that's gone from serene, natural and soothing into chaotic, unsightly and ugly, but something deeper - [10 Things To Do in Rishikesh in a 3-Day Itinerary And Their Order To Have A Meaningful Trip](https://theboholiving.com/10-things-to-do-in-rishikesh-in-a-3-day-itinerary-and-their-order-to-have-a-meaningful-trip/): Compressing the highs of Rishikesh in a few days while letting you get a feel of the special energy of the place. - [3 Foreigner-Friendly Digital Nomad Hubs With Conscious Communities in India: A Personal Guide](https://theboholiving.com/3-foreigner-friendly-digital-nomad-hubs-with-conscious-communities-in-india-a-personal-guide/): Thanks to remote jobs and businesses, any place on earth with Wifi is a potential office and a new term has been birthed: ‘digital nomad’ – basically a traveler, but better. But some places are better than the others when it comes to setting up a workspace and put down roots at, even for a short time. I mean if one has an option to work from anywhere really, it doesn’t have to be your ancestral village or the concrete jungle of the city you’ve gone to office in, is it? Why India as a digital nomad hub? Why India […] - [Two-Day Itinerary For Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, Including Overnight Desert Camping: Top 10 Things To Do](https://theboholiving.com/two-day-itinerary-for-jaisalmer-rajasthan-including-overnight-desert-camping-top-10-things-to-do/): The 2-day trip to Jaisalmer couldn't have packed in more, and yet not be rushed or left too much unexplored or unseen. - [10-Day Japan Itinerary From My Solo Trip: The Complete Guide For A Budget Trip From India](https://theboholiving.com/10-day-japan-itinerary-from-my-solo-trip-the-complete-guide-for-a-budget-trip-from-india/): Japan is beautiful, crazy, and dripping with wonder, culture, and excitement! - [3-Day Itinerary For Hampi, The Site Of Ruins Of The Glorious 14th Century Vijayanagara Empire, And A Hippie Outpost in South India](https://theboholiving.com/3-day-itinerary-for-hampi-ruins-of-14th-century-vijayanagara-empire-and-a-hippie-outpost-in-south-india/): A land frozen in time, a glimpse into the glory of 700-year old civilization, hiding amidst lush paddy fields and vast boulders. - [10 Outdated And Tacky Home Decor Trends That Need To Disappear From Indian Homes And Bachelor Pads](https://theboholiving.com/10-outdated-and-tacky-home-decor-trends-that-need-to-disappear-from-indian-homes-and-bachelor-pads/): Get rid of the string lights and the polyester curtains stat! - [Traveler Adopts Stray Dog in India, Flies Him Back To Spain After Losing Three Flights, Thousands Of Dollars In A Dramatic Showdown](https://theboholiving.com/traveler-adopts-stray-dog-in-india-flies-him-back-to-spain-after-losing-three-flights-thousands-of-dollars-in-a-dramatic-showdown/): Inspirational story of how when you really want to, you will figure out how to be with your dog, come hell or high water. - [The Ambani Wedding: Not Just a Wedding, A Billionaire's Ode to Indian Culture](https://theboholiving.com/the-ambani-wedding-not-just-a-wedding-a-billionaires-ode-to-indian-culture/): More than the emeralds, the Ambani wedding showcased the best of India. - [Why You Should Visit The 8th Century Rock-cut Masrur Temples in Himachal Pradesh](https://theboholiving.com/why-you-should-visit-the-8th-century-rock-cut-masrur-temples-in-himachal-pradesh/): Tucked away in a remote valley in Himachal, on a 2000-feet elevation are the gorgeous and epic Masrur Rock temples that have survived over 1000 years through earthquakes, landslides, and many invasions. - [My '30 By 30' Countries Challenge: 9 Countries In Central And East Europe, 23-Day Itinerary From India + Costs](https://theboholiving.com/my-30-by-30-countries-challenge-9-countries-in-central-and-east-europe-23-day-itinerary-from-india-costs/): From fairytale towns of centre Europe to the charming historical relics of East Europe, our 21-day trip made a milestone birthday memorable. - [When A Bunch Of Animal Lovers Moved Mountains To Convert a Hostile Gated Society Into A Haven For Stray-Turned-Community Dogs](https://theboholiving.com/when-a-bunch-of-animal-lovers-moved-mountains-to-convert-a-hostile-gated-society-into-a-haven-for-stray-turned-community-dogs/): Looking at social media, you’d think the world is becoming a kinder place for animals. One’s feeds constantly turn up heartwarming stories of shopkeepers letting stray dogs sleep inside during winters, giant water bowls for animals being installed at streets during scorching summers, adoption of stray dogs over buying breeds, the shift towards veganism, and so on. But the world isn’t all that rosy for all the animals, yet. This is a story of how a bunch of animal lovers turned activists to fight for the right of a few stray dogs living inside a gated society and be allowed […] - [2 Meaningful Days in Krakow, Poland Including The Holocaust Museum In Auschwitz](https://theboholiving.com/2-meaningful-days-in-krakow-poland-including-the-holocaust-museum-in-auschwitz/): What started as just a visa hack turned out of one of the best things because Poland surprised me, moved me and impressed me all at once. - [Visiting The Erotic 'Kamasutra' Temples at Khajuraho, India With A Side Trip To Orchha](https://theboholiving.com/visiting-the-erotic-kamasutra-temples-at-khajuraho-india-with-a-side-trip-to-orchha/): Nearly 200 years after they were rediscovered in the 1850s, I discovered the Khajuraho Temples in 2014. Sitting pretty in the literal heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, is a group of 12th century Hindu and Jain temples, which are prominent for their erotic depictions — although only about 25% of the Khajuraho group of temples are actually erotic, and only about 20 temples out of the original 80 odd temples have survived destruction by weather and Mughal invasions. Built in the medieval century by the Chandela Dynasty, the Khajuraho temples are mainly centred around Naaykas or Hindu Mythological female protagonists and […] - [5-Day Itinerary For Portugal Including Lisbon, Porto and Lagos For A Budget Solo Trip](https://theboholiving.com/5-day-itinerary-for-portugal-including-lisbon-porto-and-lagos-for-a-budget-solo-trip/): Beautifully tiled buildings, lively people, great wine, amazing views, Portugal may already be my favourite country? - [A Disaster Of Group Trip to Hongkong And Macau](https://theboholiving.com/a-disaster-of-group-trip-to-hongkong-and-macau/): I usually remember all my travels like it was yesterday and that’s why I’ve managed to create memoirs out of them even years later here on my travel blog. But no other trip of mine has been a blip on my travel history like the Hongkong one. I have to actively look at the map to even remember I’ve spent a whole week across Hongkong and Macau in another life! So what went so wrong that makes me cringe about this trip so much? Let me try to piece together the worst trip of my life to the best of […] - [My First International Trip: A Free Packaged Tour To Singapore, Malaysia And Sri Lanka With 80 College Mates](https://theboholiving.com/my-first-international-trip-a-free-packaged-tour-to-singapore-malaysia-and-sri-lanka-with-80-college-mates/): Almost 17 years ago, my college found an excellent way to lure the freshers into attending college and performing well. At the end of a one year evaluation period, an international trip would be rewarded to those students who proved their mettle by attending classes, scoring good marks, participating in extra curricular activities, and netting a combined top score. (so basically being the uncoolest kid in the college!) So, as it happened, I was one of the 80 people to get the coveted prize of a free trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Srilanka. In hindsight, these are possibly the last […] - [My Experience Volunteering And Staying At Peepal Farm And Animal Rescue Centre in Dharamshala](https://theboholiving.com/my-experience-volunteering-and-staying-at-peepal-farm-and-animal-rescue-centre-in-dharamshala/): Come for the farm stay in the hills, stay for the human and furry friends. - [How A Silly Visa Mistake Had Me Denied Boarding Flight To India And Stranded At Istanbul Airport For 24 Hours](https://theboholiving.com/how-a-silly-visa-mistake-had-me-denied-boarding-flight-to-india-and-stranded-at-istanbul-airport-for-24-hours/): You’d think as someone who had traveled to 35 countries by then and crossed as many borders, I’d know a thing or two about visas, country borders, and all the immigration protocols. But every once in a while, even “seasoned travelers” like me make faux pas. And this time, I goofed up big time! What happened? So after a happening exciting 10-Day Turkey trip, which I’ve written in detail about, I got back to Istanbul Airport on the last day to catch my flight back to Dubai and then to India. But at check-in counter, they looked at my passport […] - [10 Things To Do In Istanbul (And Turkey In General) From My 4-Day Trip](https://theboholiving.com/10-things-to-do-in-istanbul-and-turkey-in-general-in-a-3-day-itinerary/): While I’ve covered my 10-Day Turkey trip in details in a separate post, Istanbul deserves its own verbiage. One of the most exciting capital cities in the world, Istanbul is like no other. For starters, it’s the only city in the world that falls across two continents – Asia and Europe. While the Asia part of it has overtones of an Islamic culture with mosques, bazaars, spices and a shadows of glorious history of the Ottoman empire, the European side lends itself into cobblestoned alleys, western style cafes, modern dressing and some of the best clubs in the world. Insofar […] - [10-Day Turkey Trip Across Istanbul, Pamukkale, Ephesus and Cappadocia - Itinerary and Costs](https://theboholiving.com/10-day-turkey-trip-across-istanbul-pamukkale-ephesus-and-cappadocia-itinerary-and-costs/): A unique amalgam of the orient and the west, Turkey is like no other country full of culture, history and the most otherworldly landscapes. - [Best Cafes in Dharamkot And Bhagsu For Working, Reading And Meeting People](https://theboholiving.com/best-cafes-in-dharamkot-and-bhagsu-for-working-reading-and-meeting-people/): Some of the best coffee, bakes, and delicious international cuisine at the cutest cafes with amazing views in an almost secret hillstation - [A Weekend In The Arty Lanes Of Fort Kochi And The Hippie Cliffside Varkala: Two Gems by The Arabian Sea in India](https://theboholiving.com/a-weekend-in-the-arty-lanes-of-fort-kochi-and-the-hippie-cliffside-varkala-two-gems-by-the-arabian-sea-in-india/): Sometimes greatest things are discovered by accident. Having just about 5 days on hand, and having covered most of the weekend getaways like Pondicherry, Araku, Hampi, and Badami in the south of India, we might as well have rolled a dice. The outcome was an impromptu trip to Kochi, a major city in Kerala, about 600kms south of Bangalore, and a side trip to Varkala, a hippie beach town also in Kerala. Here’s my Bangalore to Fort Kochi and Varkala weekend itinerary to help plan and contextualise a short trip. How to get to Kochi from Bangalore To get to […] - [I Got Added To Cypto Scam/Part Time Job Whatsapp Groups And Played Along To Decode The Scam](https://theboholiving.com/i-got-added-to-cypto-scam-part-time-job-whatsapp-groups-and-played-along-to-decode-the-scam/): Everyone from your preteen niece to your 80yr old grandmother is on Whatsapp and from using it from everything to discuss family politics to place requests to get dhaniya to sending good morning forwards, Whatsapp has been a communication boon (or a curse) to billions of people worldwide. Naturally, along have come scammers with a multitude of unscrupulous ways looking to prey on the gullible minds and using it to hunt for their next victim. The latest in the universe of internet based scams seems to be the many Telegram or more often, Whatsapp scam groups offering everything from trading […] - [Checklist: 10 Things To Check Before Buying A New House in India](https://theboholiving.com/checklist-10-things-to-check-before-buying-a-new-house-in-india/): Whether its legal status or RERA compliance or water supply, check for these housing red flags before buying a house - [Egypt Beyond The Pyramids: 7-Day Itinerary Across Aswan, Luxor, Cairo, and Alexandria](https://theboholiving.com/egypt-beyond-the-pyramids-7-day-itinerary-across-aswan-luxor-cairo-and-alexandria/): In my previous post, I covered the Giza and Aswan leg of my Solo Egypt trip. And while, the pyramids alone can be a good reason to visit Egypt, there’s much more this fascinating country offers to a traveler than an ancient Wonder Of The World. On my second half of my trip, I started retracing my steps back from Southern Egypt, moving back from Aswan to Luxor. Luxor is where the dead lie. It’s where the majestic Pharaos lived, held lavish courts, and established one of the most advanced and enduring civilizations in the world. It’s in Valley Of […] - [After Traveling To 40 Countries, Here's Why Dubai And Singapore Are My Least Favourite Travel Destinations](https://theboholiving.com/after-traveling-to-40-countries-heres-why-dubai-and-singapore-are-my-least-favourite-travel-destinations/): Dubai and Singapore are great role models for what vision, wealth and quick development can do, but they lack a soul, character and culture. - [Ruminations of a Marketing Professional Who Sucks At Marketing Herself](https://theboholiving.com/ruminations-of-a-marketer/): In my ideal world, doing home decor, traveling, spiritual experiences and then documenting it all would’ve paid for itself. In fact, had I taken the route of travel and home decor blogging a bit more seriously back in 2007 when I actually started on a journey of traveling across the world and getting to do up my spaces and intermittently blogging about it, I could’ve actually turned it into a lucrative profession by way of being a content creator or the much-vaunted “Influencer’ in 2023. But this was not be. For your girl might Martha Stewart a broken cup into […] - [10-Day Solo Indian Woman Egypt Trip: Budget, Itinerary And Lessons](https://theboholiving.com/10-day-solo-indian-woman-egypt-trip-budget-itinerary-and-lessons/): Being a huge history nerd, Egypt was always on my travel bucket list.

Tucked away on the eastern edge of the state of Andhra Pradesh, is this little quaint hill station (elevated about 900 mts ~) in the Vishakhapatnam (Vizag) district, famous for its coffee plantations and home to a large number of South Indian Tribals. Long before the famous Araku cafe chains came about in Bangalore, we made a trip to the OG Araku (in 2014) and actually sat in a legit Araku Cafe 🙂 Scenic train ride from Vizag to Araku With a long weekend at hand, we took an overnight bus from […] - [How To Do An India To Europe Trip On A Budget: Lessons From My 3-Week, 6-Country $1500 Solo Europe Trip](https://theboholiving.com/how-to-do-an-india-to-europe-trip-on-a-budget-lessons-from-my-3-week-6-country-1500-solo-europe-trip/): Europe isn’t very kind to the budget traveler, or so is one of the commonly held perceptions.

While Pushkar is considered one of the holiest towns in India with multiple ancient temples with a huge religious significance for Hindus, it’s also a hub for modern day spirituality, yoga, and rightfully finds its place on the hippie trail. Just four hours by road from Jaipur, Pushkar makes a great weekend trip for those who live in Jaipur and around, are looking to make a side trip […] - [7-Day Indonesia (Java) Itinerary: Volcanos, Sulphur Mines And Rainbow Villages](https://theboholiving.com/7-day-indonesia-java-itinerary-volcanos-sulphur-mines-and-rainbow-villages/): In part 1 of this trip, I focussed on my first 3 days in Indonesia across Bali including Nusa Penida and Ubud. In this part, I’m going to cover the Java leg of the trip. I took a ferry from Bali to Banyawungi – the southmost point/town in Java which you enter from Bali. It’s the starting point to Ijen crater. I got here by around 3 pm and just napped in my hostel until it was time to leave for the trek. Midnight Trek to Ijen Sulphur Mines At around midnight, my Ijen Mines organized tour guy picked me […] - [I Went To The Once-In-12-Years Kumbh Mela - The World's Largest Gathering - And It Was Beyond Surreal](https://theboholiving.com/i-went-to-the-once-in-12-years-kumbh-mela-the-worlds-largest-gathering-and-it-was-beyond-surreal/): They say one cannot stop an idea whose time has come. I think it goes the same way for travel. With a long weekend off for Maha Shivratri coinciding with the last day of the Maha Kumbh and the last book in the Shiva Trilogy (The Oath of the Vayuputras) just having been read, my trip to the Kumbh Mela couldn’t be better timed, in all its religious and symbolic significance. What is Kumbh Mela? To give a little background for the uninitiated, the Kumbh Mela is a holy pilgrimage taken by hundreds of thousands of pious Hindus (and now even others […] - [The Perfect 2-3 Day Itinerary For Haridwar To Satisfy Your Religious, Spiritual And Wellness Needs](https://theboholiving.com/the-perfect-2-3-day-itinerary-for-haridwar-to-satisfy-your-religious-spiritual-and-wellness-needs/): A holistic 3-7 day itinerary for the holy town, focussing on its well-known as well as lesser known experiences - [25 Best Cafes In Rishikesh For Food, Ambience And Working (With photos and menu) Updated for 2025](https://theboholiving.com/25-best-cafes-in-rishikesh-for-food-ambience-and-working-with-photos-and-menu/): Rishikesh, the holy town located in the foothills of the Himalayas in India, doesn’t only have the highest number of yoga schools in the world, but also a myriad of cafes that are by themselves an important factor in experiencing Rishikesh in a more fulfilling way. I’ve spent months living in Rishikesh as a digital nomad after my TTC and obviously it’s meant a lot of time spent at cafes, whether just to take in the views, meet friends or get some work done with a cup of coffee. And so I think I’m well placed to offer my recommendations […] - [How To Plan A Trip To Valley Of Flowers And Hemkund Sahib Uttarakhand](https://theboholiving.com/how-to-plan-a-trip-to-valley-of-flowers-and-hemkund-sahib-uttarakhand/): There's only a 3-month window (May-July) to do the once-in-a-lifetime trip: All you need to know - [Top 10 Natural Indian Textiles And Textile Art Forms, How To Use Them And Where to Buy them](https://theboholiving.com/top-10-natural-indian-textiles-and-textile-art-forms-how-to-use-them-and-where-to-buy-them/): On India’s 77th Independence Day, in typical Google fashion, the tech giant dedicated a textile themed Doodle to mark the occasion. The vast range of fabrics and textiles in India is a beautiful and fitting reflection of the colours, arts, and diversity of the country itself. Created by a local artist Namrata Kumar, the doodle features 8 textiles of India from across the country. I personally resonated with the Doodle as someone who’s obsessed with Indian fabrics. People call it my boho phase, but as far back as I can remember, I’d potter about in the most crowded, old shopping […] - [Life After Losing My Lifelines](https://theboholiving.com/life-after-losing-my-lifelines/): Yesterday, I finally watched 777Charlie, after the news that it won a National Award for the best Kannada movie of the year did the rounds. Much as it was a beautiful movie, in me it opened floodgates of emotions and tears I’d probably been bottling up for months. Losing a dog is one of the most painful experiences one goes through, and the last 15 minutes of the movie had me reliving the ends of both of my dogs whom I lost within the last ten months. I realized I hadn’t allowed myself to fully feel the magnitude of what […] - [How To DIY A Mosaic Table From Broken Ceramic Cups](https://theboholiving.com/how-to-diy-a-mosaic-table-from-broken-ceramic-cups/): Create a stunning and cheap mosaic table from broken mugs and/or ceramic bits using this easy tutorial - [5 Day Itinerary For Manali, Kheer Ganga And Kasol](https://theboholiving.com/5-day-itinerary-for-manali-kheer-ganga-and-kasol/): Far away from the home base Bangalore, having been squatting in the lap of the Himalayas in Rishikesh for weeks now and with the mercury soaring, I decided to do what everyone else in the region in this weather does. Head off to the mountains, get a breather, and perhaps explore living there long term. So I decided to explore the famous Kasol region. I chose to consciously go on weekday and return before the weekend-ish hoping from a respite from the onslaught of weekend tourists. But here’s the thing, no matter how mainstream, how popular these places and how […] - [How To Travel With Your Dogs By Train In India: A Detailed Guide](https://theboholiving.com/how-to-travel-with-your-dogs-by-train-in-india-a-detailed-guide/): I have traveled with my two dogs by train from Bangalore to New Delhi and then from Rishikesh to Jaipur so I’m writing this detailed guide on the process involved in traveling by train with dogs in India, both using the First AC and the luggage carrier option. Thanks to social media and the growing popularity of the pets-being-family sentiment, we pet-parents now can be relieved that we can travel across the country with our dogs.

I didn’t even know what it was, but I’d be uncomfortable eating chips, not because of the chips being unhealthy per se but seeing all the plastic go into the trash seconds after. Today that discomfort has become a legit obsession and for the life of me, (or the planet) I cannot in good conscience contribute further to the rapid degeneration of the environment and I know there’s more people than I know who feel the same way.

I have to do this process every time I get a new guest in the house I Airbnb and more often than not, I don’t have a lot of time between the last guest checking out and the new guest coming in, so speed is the key.

Now begins the paperwork and the formalities stage. It’s really crucial to ensure a solid and legally-binding rental agreement is in place before you pay the landlord any deposit or move into the house. Talking of deposit, did you know that no landlords should be charging more than 2 months of rent as a deposit? But few landlords follow the law, much to the chagrin of home-seekers. More often than not, the landlord arranges for a rental agreement for you to sign, but in case he refuses to or is unable […] - [My 7-Day Jordan Trip Through One Of The Wonder Of The Worlds in Petra, Floating in Dead Sea, And Sky Gazing in Wadi Rum](https://theboholiving.com/my-7-day-jordan-trip-through-one-of-the-wonder-of-the-worlds-in-petra-floating-in-dead-sea-and-sky-gazing-in-wadi-rum/): Where else can you behold a centuries-old structure that’s one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, spend a night in a mars-like dessert and float in the sea but never drown? - [How To Paint A Plywood Wardrobe And Save Your Home Decor](https://theboholiving.com/how-to-paint-a-plywood-wardrobe-and-save-your-home-decor/): To most people, especially us women, “fixing our wardrobe” means obsessing over what’s IN it. We spend an incredible amount of time filling it up with clothes, shoes, accessories, the works. But for me, my wardrobe itself was a sore point. After spending 2 years (and counting) on doing up my place, covering every corner, piece of flooring, if there was one spot that I could never get round to rescuing, it was my wardrobe. The wardrobe per se was not bad, it was spacious, had sections, was minimal, had a mirror and did its job. But its color was […] - [20 Best Places For A Free Photo Shoot In And Around Bangalore](https://theboholiving.com/best-places-for-a-free-photo-shoot-in-and-around-bangalore/): Go for the photos, stay for the views and vibes. - [25 Bangalore-Based Consumer Startups Shared By Bangaloreans As Favourites](https://theboholiving.com/25-bangalore-based-consumer-startups-shared-by-bangaloreans-as-favourites/): It’s not an exaggeration to call Bangalore the startup capital of India. In fact it could be the startup capital of the WORLD? In 2020, 800 new startups popped up in Bangalore — 200 more than in San Francisco – all while a pandemic ravaged the world. But how often do we hear about these startups unless they’ve raised a big round or ended up going the unicorn route. So today I decided to ask Bangaloreans what their favourite new startups are. And what better place than Clubhouse, the hub for all things public opinion and crowdsourced lists? So in […] - [Vietnam 10-Day Itinerary: Starting From Ho Chi Minn, Through Hoi An & Hue To Hanoi](https://theboholiving.com/vietnam-10-day-itinerary-starting-from-ho-chi-minn-through-hoi-an-hue-to-hanoi/): And yes all those “H’s” were an unexpected but stellar example of alliteration! I remember it was a photo of the Ha Long Bay that I’d seen on a friend’s Facebook long before I actually planned my own Vietnam trip that stayed somewhere in my mind. Turquoise blue waters peppered with hundreds of small islands and rock cliffs – there was something so otherwordly about it that I decided Vietnam was worth a trip just for those. Although after traveling to Vietnam, I found Ha Long bay was only one of the many unique sights and experiences Vietnam has to […] - [Let's Hold On That Househelp Just Yet In The Post Lockdown World](https://theboholiving.com/lets-hold-on-that-househelp-just-yet-in-the-post-lockdown-world/): adies and gents, let’s hold on to that maid and cook yet. The COViD-19 lockdown might have brought with it the realisation that indeed you can cook up a storm in your kitchen, your banana bread has Julia Child swelling with pride, and you clean your house to a shine. You discovered the maid’s blind spots, you mopped that floor with the intensity of a pole dancer, and your kitchen counter looks shinier than your baby’s butt. What started with a feeling of panic and resignation about the absence of househelp has now turned into a self-congratulatory epiphany that you […] - [From India To Nepal: A Lazy Traveler's One-Week Nepal Itinerary](https://theboholiving.com/from-india-to-nepal-a-lazy-travelers-one-week-nepal-itinerary/): A short one week trip to recharge and repose in Nepal, the home to the highest of mountains. - [The COViD Lockdown Has Celebs Giving Us Peeks Into Their High-Walled Homes](https://theboholiving.com/the-covid-lockdown-has-celebs-giving-us-peeks-into-their-high-walled-homes/): Thanks to COVID people are in extended house arrests. While the pandemic is wreaking havoc on those unfortunate enough to have been exposed to it and changing the world in ways we have never seen before, in the safe confines of our homes, the lockdown is bringing out the inner singers, chefs, bakers in everyone. It’s making it perfectly acceptable to be spending weekend nights painting a canvas, not the town red. But it’s also doing something unprecedented – It’s giving us a peek into the homes of celebrities. Homes that were hitherto a matter of great mystique and privacy […] - [Odio Utsem Nulla Pharetra Diam Sitametnisl Elementum](https://theboholiving.com/odio-utsem-nulla-pharetra-diam-sitametnisl-elementum/): Senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.

Living in Hyderabad gave me that opportunity.After months of searching, I found the perfect place for me – A rundown, dingy and tiny 2BHK duplex apartment in a two-decade-old society called Amrutha Valley in Banjara Hills. Noone else would’ve probably taken up that house given its state and the society which looked like it could fold in anytime. But I saw a place with potential. It had a terrace overlooking pretty much half the city and […] - [My 10-Day Solo Trip Across Indonesia Part 1 Bali - Itinerary, Budget And Tips](https://theboholiving.com/my-10-day-solo-trip-across-indonesia-part-1-bali-itinerary-budget-and-tips/): Beach hopping in Nusa Penida, sight seeing and chilling in Ubud and attending a local fest in Kuta. - [Challenge Accepted: Turning a tiny, temporary terrace house into a functional, aesthetic and comfortable space on a budget](https://theboholiving.com/challenge-accepted-turning-a-tiny-temporary-terrace-house-into-a-functional-aesthetic-and-comfortable-space-on-a-budget/): The good news was that I found a pet-friendly house with a terrace for myself, the boyfriend and the two dogs. The bad news was that it was tiny, boring, and to most, unliveable even. But then if you know me and my streak of home makeovers, I accepted the challenge head on. Time to turn this tiny excuse of a penthouse into a functional, good looking and comfortable space, without spending a bomb since this was a rental property for a very short period. To be honest, I love me a good home makeover challenge, self-imposed as it is.
