And though she's been a part of earlier events at Haiku JAM and loves the concept, she is yet to convert the idea of turning a haiku into a full-fledged song, though she did try it out as a social media experiment. The foodie, who loves the fare at Duke Restaurant in Bandra, Hotel Deluxe in Fort and Aradhana Coastal Delight in Khar, also admits that the idea to do the haiku struck her due to her current love for another Japanese obsession, ramen, a bowl of which she whipped up recently.

"I like cooking because when you're doing something where your hands are busy, you start thinking about things and you don't even realise it's happening. In a way, it helps me mull over things even when I might feel frazzled. It helps me get inspired in a therapeutic way. Just like music is therapy for me, because of the lengthy process that goes in making it and the self-introspection it leads to," she shares, adding that it also works for her relationships as it helps her form bonds and spend time together. Plus, who doesn't love a yummy reward for all the hard work?
