I’ve had some of the best breakfasts in my home city – Mumbai. Be it brun maska and mawa cake at an Irani café or croissants and coconut crepes at a French one, the city has always filled my belly with good food and my soul with utter contentment.

Over forkfuls of syrupy waffles and inappropriately large bites of basil and mozzarella sandwich, we nudge each other to offer up our dreams, secrets and pet philosophies.
Pench Tree Lodge in Seoni is where the veranda seemed to have a voice. In the mornings, it sang of sunrises, birds, and a sky drunk on gold. During the day, it soaked my skin in mellow warmth. And at night, it came alive with the whispers of secret night creatures.
