Streaming/Reading now

I recently watched 'The Day of the Jackal', a series adaptation of Frederick Forsyth’s book that I had read during my college days. Reliving the gripping narrative in a visual format was nostalgic. It’s a testament to how timeless stories can transcend mediums and still leave a lasting impact.

Planning my next holiday to

India’s diversity has always inspired me, and I’ve been exploring its rich landscapes and cultures in recent years. My next destination is the Northeast, a region I’m eager to experience for its natural beauty and vibrant traditions. Travel, for me, is not just relaxation but a way to broaden horizons and embrace new perspectives.

A recent ad campaign I liked

The IKEA ‘Ads that skip you’ campaign stood out for its brilliant execution. The idea of saving time was woven seamlessly into every element, from messaging to design. It’s a reminder that great campaigns are not just clever—they resonate because they address a fundamental human need in a meaningful way.
