What is Panchtatva ?? 



Essentially, Panchtatva is a beautiful sanskrit word that means five elements (Panch = Five + Tatva = elements). It is often referred to the air, water, nature etc in ancient texts. 


We adopted this beautiful term for our lifestyle blog, christening it as PANCHTATVA THE ESSENCE OF LIFE (PEL) because it essentially speaks of five elements i.e. beauty, fashion, food, travel and miscellaneous stuff... that make us live a beautiful life everyday.

You will find articles, previews, reviews and posts related to all these tatvas under the five categories Beauty Box, Travelling Troika, Fash Frat, Food Fiesta and Treasure Trove (for all miscellaneous posts :) We try to look for new, innovative and interesting topics, that promise to ignite your senses in a positive way...

@ TARANNUM Aka TARRY 
- editor.

Who am I? A fun-loving dreamer who can go romantic at a drop of a hat? or an adventure freak who can jump off the cliff at the drop of the hat? Or a simple girl who would like to spend quiet hours with herself? Yep! That's me... Tarry or Tarannum... A complete madcap Gemini...
A journalist all her career life, have now switched over to Corporate Communications but am still a freelance development journalist. Also am a professional photographer as well (need to showcase that side on the blog too ;) That's one side... Now the other... Have been into lifestyle and travel blogging from the past 2 and a half years... And that gave me not just new avenues, but many new friends as well. Launched my baby PEL so as to explore different waters in one boat :)

Anuradha Manjul 

Travel Writer 


"Hi, I am Anuradha Manjul. I am neither a nomad nor a gypsy, but travelling is an essential part of my life. A graduate in English, an MBA with forte in Branding and Marketing, I have dabbled in many sectors/industries – from hospitality to travel & tourism to FMCG to service to KPO’s to entertainment to education. My love has always been travelling. I feel travelling opens up a wide world of new experiences and gives you knowledge which one can never gain from any other source. I believe India has a lot of potential in terms of tourism and that one single lifetime would not be enough to completely discover our country India. There is something in me which pushes me to explore more. Through blog posts on PEL, I would be sharing my travel experiences – and I am not talking about Leisure travel – I feel the real fun is in the mid range and budget travel..."

Mohammad Naeem Chishti

Chief Photographer 

"There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are - Ernst Haas." I am someone who is defined by his camera. For me, photography is not a profession. It is my passion, my identity and my joy. Juggling between my various roles as a business man, a cricketer and a photographers, I just try to recreate the beauty God has created. Be it humans or landscapes, my lens just recreates the beauty and preserves it as a golden moment forever. On PEL, you will find my clicks in the editor's OOTDs and Food clicks, because I am a passionate foodie too.

@ SHWETA DAWAR
- leisure writer

 "Hello people, I am Shweta Dawar. 
Having stayed in Mumbai all my life, 
I never thought I would fit anywhere better,
 but my view changed when I came to live 
 dream of pursuing a masters in Sports 

Management in the beautiful town of  Amherst. I am totally loving it here, more so because not only do I get to meet & interact with people from so many different backgrounds, but I also get to travel a lot. Having worn different hats of being an engineer, an entrepreneur, a tennis player, a wannabe poet and most recently an MBA in Finance graduate, I finally gathered the guts to lead an unsettled life and follow my dream. All this while, writing always inspired me and kept me on track and I look forward to sharing parts of my new journey with you through my blog posts here on PEL.
