🇳🇵 I won't really call Nepal, "home" - not yet at least because I don't know if she has accepted me to be hers 😅 but thanks to work and close friends in the country, I've been fortunate to spend some time there, even outside of Kathmandu. Speaking of Kathmandu in particular, the Valley is so small that it's fascinating how you can walk from one place to the other with the help of Google maps 😅

🇮🇳 The place I adopted as home next, was India. Now for many Sri Lankans out here, and honestly I'm not sure where the origin of this animosity dates back to, India is not a favourite. It might be cricket, shared history, the fact that we are often attributed to as Indians 😅 But to me, India welcomed me into their house and I made it my home. Since university, I have almost managed to go back to India every year, a perk to the industry I've been in, but I was last in an Indian airport last January before life became as we know it today. Most places in India I have been to, which are not many because that landmass is just 🤯 - have been welcoming and kind. I would say that I've been fortunate to not have travelled to and spent time in most metropolitan cities (except for university days) but instead, expand my understanding of India by people and communities of smaller towns, sometimes villages. Not that there is anything wrong with cities, I personally do not have an affiliation towards it (including Colombo) and my anxieties seem to be at ease when away from the crowds.

🇱🇰 I find it so difficult to post on Instagram because I want to keep things uniform. I want the grid to align, for it to have meaning and sometimes I think I shouldn’t wish too hard. Today’s three posts are going to be about three places I call home and why I think my homes are on fire, and this is not because of climate change. I'm posting my three 'homes' with pictures I took while on hikes/treks because they look very appealing from my bedroom right now.

🙋🏽‍♀️ Hello, it’s me.

Probably should’ve been my first picture but remember what I told you about the grid? 😅

It’s been a hot minute since I posted here. Don’t get me wrong, I do consume a lot of Instagram, I just don’t proactively post here. Why? I don’t really know actually. I think I over think the process. I try to make sure that my grid is aligned with one another, the pictures have meaning and in general, on there being some sort of a running themes, at least among the rows. A lot of work for a regular Instagram account I think but I really find it difficult to keep this space ‘instant’ 🤷🏽‍♀️ But then again, what is social media if not a curated account of our lives.
