Meet a person with a skill you can use

Khushi Shah, 33 Journal Maker
>>>
AVAILABLE FOR: Customised journals
PRICE: Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500

Not everyone in Mumbai can journal every day, but everyone definitely needs to. This was the thought that made Khushi Shah, a programming professional who was trying to cope with life, think about a weekly journal. As a side hustle, Shah made her first journal that was customised to her needs. “I started with prompts like: What was it about the week that made you confident? What made you feel vulnerable? Who or what are you grateful and what improvement would you want to make?” says Shah.  Now, she makes customised journals for others. “People have varying needs: A working mother might have the bandwidth for a monthly journal and different priorities, like coffee by herself every month. So, I customise it accordingly,” she adds. The journal is sent to you by post.

RECOMMENDED BY: Sonali Madage, 32, Stockist—Yves Saint Laurent. “I wanted to journal mindfully and the ones in the market were too generic. A customised journal suited to my needs was a game changer to make sure this activity didn’t become tedious!”
