MY FIRST BOOK

Journeys Beyond and Within...

IS HERE!

In my vivid narrative style (that readers love, ahem), I have told my most incredible adventures, including a nine-month solo trip to South America. In the candid book, the scoldings I got from home for not settling down and the fears and obstacles I faced, along with my career experiments, are laid bare. Witty and introspective, the memoir will make you laugh and inspire you to travel, rediscover home, and leap over the boundaries.

Sikkim Express: "Simple, free-flowing, but immensely evocative."

The Telegraph Online: "An introspective as well as an adventurous read."

Priyanka Gupta

About a decade and a half ago, I graduated with a B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD). In 2016, five years into a seven-figure corporate career, I quit my job.

Now I’m a nomadic writer. On my blog On My Canvas, I write about alternative ways of living, learning, and exploring.

My aim is to live by asking why rather than blindly following someone before me. And while I’m out challenging the norms, or if we may say, looking at things more with curiosity rather than habit or tradition, I write about what I experience and learn. I read a lot of science and books (and science books), too.

Personal growth ideas, cruising through the choppy waters of our emotional selves, writing tips, cultural biases, meditations from individual books, and travel narratives—you will find them all on my blog.

Welcome!

Last year I did a week long trip to the valleys near Kullu (Parvati, Sainj and tirthan). What was different was that there was no itinery. I simply went to the next place based on what locas told me.
Doing the same now and today (Sunday) is day 1 in Shimla. I have till Saturday afternoon. Would be grateful if you could suggest me two or three wonderful places around Shimla.
