I used to do this in the first few weeks of my internship. I used to get lot of tasks from different people of my team. There are three people in my team, but for an additional supplement, which will be out in November, we have hired freelancers. So, I have seven people, excluding me, right now. They pass on some work, and then it gets too confusing. On top of that, sometimes those who are not in the team, but still are writing for our sections, give me a task; I have to keep a track of that too.

So how do I do that? Now remembering all the tasks seems easy, but this was not the case earlier. If you too get lot of tasks, there's this amazing method I follow--writing everything down.

As soon as I reach office, I turn on the computer. (I reach 15 minutes before time, by the way.) I go through my mailbox and usually find at least three mails for me. I flag and pin them to the top so that I don't forget to reply to them. It's easier to find your mails if you flag them. At Vogue, all the edit interns share one email ID; so, the interns under the teams features, fashion features, beauty, and fashion, all share one ID. Flagging just helps all my mails to stand out.

As soon as I flag, I open my notepad, and write the date; under the date, I start writing tasks. For example, if I have to reply to three people, I will write:

☐ Reply abc
☐ Reply xyz
☐ Reply rst

As soon as the tasks are done, I strike off and check the boxes. This is how I keep the track.

Also, I have to save images that we would use in the magazine. If I'm sending mails to ten companies, I write down names one below the other in my notepad. For the title, I write down the name of the article, along with the person's name who has asked me to save the pictures. For example, if my colleague Sonal asks me to get pictures from companies, in the title, I mention Sonal's name as well. (This is one super important tip.) Due to this, I can easily scan through pages if ever Sonal asks me about which companies are yet to send the pictures.

These are the tips I follow; the main solid tip will always be WRITING IT DOWN.
Jot down everything and I'm sure you'll remember everything.

You can say I had a writer's block for a week. Firstly, I had no topic on mind, and secondly, I was too occupied to think of any. But finally, here I am; back with a topic.


I'm sure you must have interned or worked while still pursuing a course. If you're like me, for whom getting good grades is important, then handling two things simultaneously can be a task. I'm witnessing this difficult situation, and I think I might just have a solution.

We have a test on this Saturday and the portion is as vast as a final exam's. Our professor announced this test on last Saturday, which means, there's just a week's time to prepare.

All of us have different lives, and the amount of free time we get varies too. Therefore, I'm gonna list down few probable time-slots in which you can study. In the end, the main motive will be studying (or reading) as much as possible.

If you're a good cook, it's profitable to you and others, but that's not where the kitchen story ends; you need to have some kitchen etiquette while cooking, or just while doing anything in the kitchen.
Hygiene is a major part of kitchen etiquette as this is food you're talking about; it's something that's going to jump in the interiors of your body. Therefore, make sure you follow these necessary kitchen etiquette rules after wearing the chef's hat.


Here are some of the rules passed down by my mom to me:

Officially, I've stepped into the fourth year of blogging. I have compiled a list of some fan-following across various social media platforms.

My supervisor had asked me to write a small piece on Healthy Food Places in India. I wrote a simple article, and made sure I did not use the Oxford Comma, which I'm obsessed about. I also used better vocab, but then eventually, my supervisor explained how I needed to avoid words like delicious, great, etc. That's when I decided to go through all the food articles on Vogue.in and find out terms, idioms, or in general, anything that will help me improve my food-writing. If ever I come across some more terms later, I'll make a new list and post here (so don't worry).

PS The word 'dish' after every blank denotes that you have to enter a dish's name in that blank space.

You can avoid carrying lunchbox to college, because you probably can survive on a wadapav from the canteen, but when it comes to work, you're in the office for more than six hours. You have to carry a lunchbox, but just because there's not enough space in your handbag, you don't carry it. Also, handles of some of your handbags are so weak, that even if you have space in the bag, you still wouldn't carry anything that's heavy or takes up space.
I do that; I avoid carrying anything heavy, but now my internship demands food. I carry meals/snacks for breakfast, lunch, late afternoon, and for evening. For lunch, I carry a heavy meal, and for other meals, you can check this post out. I have mentioned everything in details in that post, so you'll get an exact idea.


As I have to carry a heavy meal and some snacks for the eventide, there are a couple of boxes and a tiny water bottle to go with. I follow two methods, depending on which type of bag I'm carrying:

Sharing few pictures from Ganesh Chaturthi 2016:

I'm at my Pune House, and there's no internet connection here. Earlier, I had WiPod, but we no longer use it as the company has changed its packs, and there's no suitable pack for us any more. Therefore, I'm without any internet connection.

If you're a dedicated blogger, you would want to write blog under all sorts of circumstances. You might encounter a no-WiFi hotel or if you're travelling by a train or bus, you won't have WiFi there. What to do when such crisis hits?

The answer is simple: using your mobile data and sharing it on your laptop via WiFi Hotspot.

But, but; when you're travelling, you're already using so much of your mobile data that spending more just doesn't seem convincing. On top of it, if you're a prepaid sim holder, then your data pack can extinct. Therefore, you don't just need WiFi hotspots, but a trick, too.


TIP: To save more data, the designing of blog graphic and sharing the post across social media can be done on your cellphone.

Though there's not much of physical exertion (apart from travelling), there's indeed a little amount of mental exertion, which ultimately makes me tired and leads to increase in the appetite. I am not a person who religiously carries a lunchbox wherever she goes, but whenever there's office, I do. I have a beautifully packed lunchbox, which carries out all its functions.


We often are confused about what to eat throughout the day. I've listed down what I eat and some more ideas to keep you hydrated and happy throughout a work-day:

August has been a good month. I enjoyed more, was happy more, and I couldn't have asked for anything more. I'm happy right now, at this very moment.
Just like I write about my favourites of every month at the end of the months, I'm listing down some of the key moments/things that made me happy in the month of August:
