What It’s Like Shooting On The Streets of India

A Girl and Her Wonderland
Once upon a time, there lived a girl who seemed to be eternally stuck in a Wonderland, a micro environment of sorts, in which the rules of the outside world didn't apply. There was no sadness or negativity and there

New Year, Same Sparkle
With 2019 around the corner, everyone's year end reminiscing has officially begun. So, naturally I had to jump on the bandwagon and talk about mine - 2018 started with a complete revamp and launch of TheObsessionQuotient.com. It's been such an amazing feeling to

Incoming Heatwave Escape

No Place Like Soho

Pumps To Kill
I've always wondered what my first 'big' purchase would be, perhaps it would occur at around the age of 23, and I would splurge on a Chanel handbag. It would be THE most coveted item in my wardrobe and I
