Binge the World, One Journey at a Time

Share what you know about the year you were born.

I was born in Chikmagalur☘️ 🏡

A quiet town wrapped in coffee☕ plantations and misty hills in Karnataka.

By the time I arrived, most of the big headlines of the year were already over; the world had already watched men walk on the moon 🌝, listened to new music 🎶 and lived through one of the most eventful years of that decade.🌿

In many ways, I came at the end of a chapter. While the world was closing the book, my family was opening a brand new one.✨

History had already recorded the Moon landing and all those dramatic changes, but in a small corner of Karnataka, the biggest news was simply a newborn baby and the quiet joy that filled a modest home.🕊️

I like to think of my birth as a soft full stop at the end of a loud, busy sentence. The year had seen enough noise, protests and breakthroughs; December brought cooler air, slower days and the gentle rhythm of plantation life in Chikmagalur. ⭐

Somewhere between the rustle of coffee leaves and the evening cold breeze, my story began.🌸

I may not have shared the spotlight with the famous events,  but I share its spirit in another way. 🌝

That year proved how far humans could go, and I carry a small piece of that courage and curiosity in my own journey – from a December baby in Chikmagalur to a woman who now loves exploring new places, writing her heart out and quietly chasing her own “small moon landings” in life.💕

Maybe that is why I’m still drawn to new horizons – whether it is a winding hill road, a new town, or a blank WordPress editor waiting for my next story.💚

With lots of love and best wishes

Shama😊🙏
