Aranya Bhadu.
Learning to fly.
Staying curious.
I’m Aranya, training to become a commercial pilot in India.
This is a home for the journey—and everything around it. The things I read. The places I go. The photographs I take. The ideas that stay with me.
A little more about me ↗One flight.
Then another.

The Trip My Brain
Remembered Wrong
A trip to Goa, a terrible ending and what it taught me about how we remember experiences.
A pilot in training.
A person, always.
My name is Aranya Bhadu. I’m training to become a commercial pilot in India, with an interest in writing, photography, travel and trekking.
This space will grow with me—from the first chapters of training to whatever comes next.
