I am a festival person! I am not particularly religious ! And still or maybe that’s why I like to celebrate all festivals. Even the lesser known ones like sakrant, gangaur, lohri, etc. etc. But there is one festival that tops my list – The Jaipur Literature festival. I’ve been going there since the last four years. Its grown from a cosy, unpretentious affair to a large prestigious event and still the spirit remains the same. It’s still at core a book lover’s paradise.
Book stalls to browse in, famous authors to listen to, undiscovered writers to meet with, endless cups of coffee over never-ending discussions, soaking in the sun while listening to Kabir’s dohas or Gulzar ji’s poems, and tons of good literary vibes!
This week I am taking off from the blog to attend the festival. Along with the Dalai lama This is the list of speakers expected at the festival this year. Here is the five-day program in detail.

So now that I’ve given you a sneak peek into the treat I am heading for…. Ta da! will be back with some new ideas and lots of inspiration 
As my name suggests I am a "dreamer" , an idealist at heart and dangerously sentimental. I am also a mom of two, a part time business woman, a book - lover, a stand in decorator for my restaurants ,a movie buff, a social worker by training and a "change-maker". I love traveling, reading and having conversations! not necessarily in that order. This blog is about the conversations! So if you have a moment to spare. Pull out that bean bag, help yourself to a cuppa of your choice and lets chat!
