I was born in the City of Joy and raised in the quiet hills of the Eastern Himalayas. My earliest memories are filled with misty mornings, long walks through forests, and sunrises that felt almost personal. Life moved slower there, and without realizing it, I learned to notice things, the stillness, the rhythm of nature, and the comfort of belonging to a community.
Those early years shaped me more than I understood at the time.
As I grew older, my curiosity about the world took me in two different directions. I studied interior design, drawn to the idea that spaces can influence how we feel, how we think, and how we live. At the same time, I studied sociology, wanting to understand people, systems, and the world those spaces exist in.
Looking back, it makes perfect sense. I’ve always been interested in how our outer environment and inner world reflect each other.
Like many of us, I eventually stepped into a fast-moving life. Work, responsibilities, and routines took over, and somewhere along the way, I felt a quiet disconnect. The slow, meaningful moments that once came naturally started slipping away.
That realization changed something for me.
I didn’t want to wait for vacations or perfect days to feel at peace. I wanted to experience it in the middle of everyday life. So I began making small, intentional shifts, slowing down where I could, paying attention to what I consumed, how I spent my time, and what truly mattered.
Yoga became a big part of that journey.
What started as a physical practice slowly became something deeper, a way to come back to myself. It taught me how to sit with discomfort, how to breathe through chaos, and how to find steadiness even when life feels uncertain.
Today, I work full-time in the social impact space and teach yoga. Somewhere in between, I’ve found a balance; my work grounds me in the world outside, and my practice brings me back within.
I won’t pretend to have it all figured out. I’m someone who feels deeply, overthinks often, and is constantly learning how to create a sense of calm within. But over time, I’ve realized that peace doesn’t come from controlling everything; it comes from being intentional with what we allow into our lives.
That’s where my philosophy of “less is more” comes from.
Not as an aesthetic, but as a way of living. Choosing less noise, less rush, less distraction, so there’s more space for clarity, presence, and meaning.
This space, Gentle Life Journey, is an extension of that intention.
Here, I share simple practices, reflections, and rituals to help you slow down and reconnect with yourself, your body, and your everyday life. Nothing extreme. Nothing overwhelming. Just small, gentle shifts that add up over time.
If you’re someone who feels like life is moving a little too fast, or if you’re trying to find your way back to yourself, you’re not alone.
You’re welcome here.
I hope you find value in my intentional living journey and discover helpful content in what I share.
Here’s to a life that can be called well-lived, with purpose, passion, and a dash of wanderlust!
