We turned into an inconspicuous-looking lane next to the Chapel. While we almost missed it on our first try to find our Aldona homestay, an effortless smile started forming on both of our faces. Twin stone walls skirted along the winding lane and huge trees towered on us from beyond
One summer evening, deep in the Gharwal Mountains of the Himalayas, I first heard an account of a friend who completed a Vipassana course or a 10-day Silent Meditation Retreat. He described his curious experience where some people cried due to the intensity of what they’d experienced, while some others
“You know what? You’re going to perform for my café!” exclaimed Vince in a very peculiar yet memorable introduction. I sat perplexed with a glass of Toddy in hand, in the front porch of Zostel Alleppey- a hostel I’d been volunteering at that time in the beach town of Alappuzha,
One fine Tuesday, as the clock struck twelve and most of the world, was lost in deep slumber – My friend Manasi, a Conceptual Artist and I head off to three beautiful places near Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh. This trip by Grassroutes Journeys was our search for Art and more
Santhaku poyee daari edi… (Where’s the way to go to the Farmer’s Market?) goes a rhyme recited by my mother in my childhood. Like many kids of that age, her child was an extremely fussy eater. This specific rhyme was recited to encourage me to quicken my pace and finish
Bangalore. This word still evokes a plethora of feelings. My thoughts travel back to the day I first stepped into this city with the eyes of a resident. The year was 2009, and we had just parted ways with the pleasant Monsoon Showers of Belgaum. September had set in and
Roughly around the same time last year, my phone buzzed with a text message from a friend preserved down my memory lane. “Prerana, I’m coming to Bangalore. Would you like to catch up, maybe?” Aastha Rohilla called it her “Solo-lore” for it was the first time she was ever travelling
You’ll have to Trek – A Lot And that means you need to be very fit to “Brave Those Mountains!” Whether you’re an Experiential, Adventurous or Slow Traveller – tags don’t apply here. There is a lot of walking involved on a daily basis. Most common commodities and services you
I recently completed my 8th cycle on my Boondh Cup and I’m extremely happy with how hassle-free it makes the process of being “on the rag”. I had a lot of doubts at the beginning of my journey with the Menstrual Cup and getting accustomed to it cycle after cycle
My eyes struggle to open in the cold breeze of the morning. It’s December the 19th and the year happens to be 2018. A recurring guilty pleasure song runs in my head, it’s been the cliché Instagram caption for many who turn the same age. “I don’t know about you,
Namaste, Welcome to Inside Traveller’s Shoes! I’m Prerana, a brown-eyed girl from the vast land of many cultures – India. Just as much as I’m starstruck with the world and all the beauty it contains, I am proud of my own origins and love my country immensely. And I’m not here to tell you another story of how I quit my job to travel the world. Because frankly, I never had a “typical” one to begin with.
So, what would you normally find here, you ask? I suppose scribbles on life and experiences – as I gulp it one day at a time; things that make my soul flutter and everything that brings me happiness – a large part of which includes travel. For I do hope in some way, you’ll find your truth and yourself through it all. And it helps you “live your own extraordinary tale”.

Soundrider : Stickers Design & Type Treatment
Soundrider Sticker was one of my first projects when I pivoted towards Lettering, Illustration & Digital Art. Idea was to use it as the identity of @soundrider and I wanted him to have his own sticker!
And then when @soundrider asked that he wants a version with just the Logotype, I told him I had a vision for it and to wait for the reveal.
Inspired by Vintage & Retro Cars & Motorcycle Logos, I wrote Soundrider in the same style and gave it a type treatment for it to look realistic & give that 3D Chrome effect 🏍️

Sing With La Guitarra
Valerie - Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse
Days where we could sing songs in pretty places are not distant anymore 💕
A sunny day in Manali with Ido, Manu & Noy. We sat on the stairs of buildings, with the Himalayas surrounding us and filled this day with songs. 🎶
PS- Did you notice the birds whistling the song? 🎶🐦

On an evening walk to soak in a bit of essence of Bir, I visited the Chokling Monastery to spend some time in my own company, observing life as it passes by.
These are some of the moments that brought a smile to my face, after catching a cold and not feeling like I had done much and days were just passing by sick.
And finally when I felt a little bit of strength returning to my body, it`s so fascinating to notice how a simple walk around in the village can lift your spirits up instantly.
So, tell me what brings calmness to your soul?

Sometime last year after I had fractured my shoulder and the doctor told it was okay for me to start using my hands to draw again, I was ecstatic!
My hands were itching to create magic after almost two months of rest. It was also a time of contemplation for me, rethinking what I was drawn towards the most, the one I could now call my calling. And it happened to be “Lettering”.
The art of decorative letters was fascinating and the myriad of ways I could draw the same 26 of them to convey moods on any part of the spectrum. I took @aureliemaron‘s courses to refine my skills to take up more client work.
One of my first projects was to create a Studio Sign for “Inside Traveller’s Shoes” which would act as a platform for both my Travel and Art Ventures.
My inspiration was to incorporate Neon Signs and the Wild West and I am extremely happy with this result.
So tell me, What ignites your soul on fire lately?

Still can’t believe that it’s almost two years since we first danced to this …
