Witty, emotional, strong headed, I am an usual Indian girl in unusual circumstances.Stay tuned as I take you on this roller coaster ride with a dash of emotions, pinch of tragedy and whole lot of slyness.Connect at - thescribbledsolace@gmail.com

In this episode of Ranting and Relieving – Season 2, Shefali reflects on her first days in the US and the many culture shocks that came with starting over. From expensive grocery runs, unfamiliar pharmacies, and learning a new metric system to missing bidets, and the comforting noise of home—everything felt different.
She shares stories of unexpected kindness, discovering boundaries, and slowly building a life in New York. As familiarity grew, so did the realization that living between two worlds splits your heart in ways you don’t anticipate.
This episode is about nostalgia, adjustment, gratitude, and finding belonging far from home—while still deeply missing it.
Stay tuned for the next episode, where Shefali welcomes her first-ever guest to the show.
