Hello! My name is Arati Shenoy and I am based in Mumbai, India. My native place is Mangalore and my mother tongue is Konkani. I was in the UK for about 5 years before settling back in Mumbai .


I LOVE teaching! I am currently working as a 'Preschool Teacher' in a reputed school in Mumbai. During my downtime, I travel at every opportunity I get to where-ever I can. I have travelled to over 30 countries/ cities and counting ! 


I recently started my food blog 2020 : https://aratishenoy.blogspot.com


Love :  I'm happily married to the most amazing and supporting person who is an important part of my life!

Hobbies: Art and craft, Research, Reading, Painting, Cooking, Learning new language, Playing the Kalimba, DIY, Collecting World coins/notes, stamps and souvenirs.

Weekend Pleasures : Wine with Cheese/Pasta while listening to Country Music, swimming, organic gardening, writing, watching movies or gym.


Addiction: I am an absolute Bournville Dark Chocolate addict.

Music, Movies, and Books:

I enjoy country music, Johnny Cash! The band 'Fuzon' is my favourite! But then again depends on my mood !


My favourite movie is 'Stargirl' because I think the character played by the protagonist is very close to how I am in real life, with similar experiences that I can relate to completely.

I have watched many international movies especially Korean, Turkish, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and Hollywood. 'Doors', 'Malena', 'Maverick', 'Titanic', 'Tutor friend',' Nana', 'I love you man', 'The Wolf of Wall Street', 'Geisha', 'Frances Ha' and 'DDLJ', are some of the movies I have enjoyed watching over the years. For decades, I've been a fan of Johnny Depp, Shahrukh khan, Kareena Kapoor and Leonardo Di Caprio, and watched most of their movies !

Current read: 'Both Of You' by Adele Parks 2024

Current watch: Sweet Tooth 2024

I am a voracious reader and enjoy any book that grabs my attention! Keep of the grass, Johnny gone down, Sadhu, are some of my favourites among many other.
