🙋‍♀️ About Me

I'm Saloni, a Bengali from Delhi who spent years in Bangalore. A travel enthusiast since I was 17, I’ve explored over 25 states in India and have a soft spot for the diversity my country offers. I also have a cat, Jiji, and a wonderful partner, Shyamal, who sometimes joins me on long workations.

I'm passionate about Indian handlooms and handicrafts, and I love collecting unique items—even if it stretches the budget! I enjoy cooking, trying new local dishes, and sharing food experiences with others. Lately, I’m learning Bangla, a bit of swimming, and how to tailor clothes.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

🎧When it comes to my interest in music, I have a wide range of preferences. I enjoy switching between Bollywood retro tracks and the captivating music of Eminem, as they both resonate with different moods and moments in my life.

📚In the world of literature, I find myself drawn to the works of authors like Rick Riordan, Cecelia Ahern, Paulo Coelho, and Khalid Hossain, each offering unique perspectives and storytelling.

🎥I particularly have a soft spot for wartime stories that touch the depths of human emotions. Films like "Pearl Harbor," "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas," and series like "Outlander," "Riverdale," and "Anne with an E" have left a lasting impact on me. I also have a fondness for retro English movies. There's something captivating about the charm and elegance of those bygone eras, and I find myself drawn to their timeless storytelling and captivating performances.
