About Me

Dipanwita

Dipanwita

Hello there! I am Dipanwita Chakraborty from India. Let's call me Dipi for everyone else's ease. I am a perpetual daydreamer wanting to explore the world at my own pace. Nothing cheers me up as well as a good book and a cup of strong coffee. When not at my work desk that pays my travel bills, you would either find me planning and researching new places to travel or writing about my recent travels. I focus on solo budget travel with a keenness for immersive and local experiences, and strongly promote responsible and sustainable travel. My love for sunsets, mountains, waterfalls, talking to locals and trotting through local markets goes beyond expression. You would find the “How to” guides and unbiased reviews about destinations and properties here along with narratives about my rendezvous with the world.

  • NaPoWriMo 2021 - Day 10 // TO KILL LOVE AND SURVIVE ON HOPE // • When Khaled Hosseini said “And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.” I felt his words stab right through the heart, puncturing all my hope of us getting back together. The thing about hope is, it never dies, just shifts dynamics of sanity and inertia when we need to make a choice between mind and heart, tracing the sounds of our own footsteps until everything stops making sense altogether. • The last time we met, you
  • NaPoWriMo 2021 - Day 08 // GOODBYES AND THE NECTAR OF PAIN // • There is something about goodbyes, and how they float along holding hand with the wind, sieve through the mesh of the window frame tickling and teasing the wind chime, that still sings to the tunes of washed sunrise, a subtle overtone of silver lining; under grey hues and numb heartbeats. • There is something about goodbyes, and how they become theme parks of glum and cold playing peek-a-boo with streams in the eyes running southwards, over the curves of the lips before cascading into oblivion; unfinished
  • NaPoWriMo 2021 Day 06 // A LOVESONG IN A GRIEFCASE // • My head hums the lovesong maa sang to me. I feel the bile rising up my oesophagus and a pit in my stomach, my throat burns and tastes of sulphur as my hands unlock the gates leading to the place I once called home. • The last time I had stepped inside that house, It was still home when maa lived. but, it’s just another edifice of bricks and concrete today where my existence screams of a wreckage past salvaging each splinter of my heart falling off the
  • // TU (YOU) // • Kahin sard hawaaon ke zarron mei; kahin dohar ki silvaton mei. yaad sa basa hai tu; thoda alag sa, thoda sa juda. berang kahin, kahin siyahi se gehra. • In frame and caption - yours truly • #hindipoetry #shayari #hindiquotes #poetsofinstagram #poetryandprose #hindicouplets #hindishayari #indianpoets #poemsindia #hindipoems #hindipoemsofindia
  • NaPoWriMo 2021 - Day 09 // GRAVEYARD // • I play with the quietness around the graveyard where I buried our love. The north wind brush past, with memories I never would go back to. Faded intonations, crippled emotions, and, lost destinations; I walk away, Relentless. • #NaPoWriMo2021 #napowrimo #brownhourpoetry #silverleafpoetry #apoeticview #escrapil #poetsofgram #poemsindia #poetryisnotdead #poets #poetryrise #poetryporn #indianpoets #wovenverses #cosmoswriters #writerscommunity #indianwriters

  • // FORBIDDEN PARTS // • oftentimes, there are f-o-r-b-i-d-d-e-n parts in people we absolutely have no clue about except, you could read right through every shard of my being, decoding the morse code hidden behind my flooded retinas and black holes of unspoken desires while g-r-i-e-f sat still by the unlit corners of the house, waiting for the midnight to set in, so it could crawl beneath my epidermis. • it was on the new year
  • // MY FAVOURITE CONVERSATION WITH MY SISTER // • On the 15th day of October each year, you ask me the same question what is my favourite conversation of us that I cherish the most I have been reiterating the same answer for the past 15 years That’s only cause you are my darling sister and I don’t wish to break your heart on your birthday. • At 6:00 am when you wake up to the sound of birds chirping in the garden when maa is busy in kitchen making her signature strong ginger tea and the smell of it wafts
