about me
WELCOME TO THOUGHT AVALANCHE
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Sunil Menon.
I’m a writer, a traveler, and an endlessly curious soul. For me, life is a series of questions waiting to be answered, and this blog is my way of sharing the journey of finding those answers. It is an exploration of the world as I see it.
Each post is a reflection of the moments that made me pause, wonder, and dig a little deeper. I believe stories connect us — and in telling mine, I hope to awaken yours. So, find a comfortable corner, and let’s wander through these thoughts together.

Why "Thought Avalanche"
Have you ever had one small thought that suddenly triggers a cascade of ideas, questions, and connections? That’s a “thought avalanche.” It’s that exciting, sometimes overwhelming, rush of curiosity that I live for. I started this blog to capture those moments—whether they’re sparked by a conversation with a stranger, the taste of a new dish, a line from a book, or the view from a mountaintop. This isn’t just a travel blog. It’s a space to explore the intersections of people, places, and ideas. My goal is to write stories that make you think, feel, and maybe even see the world a little differently.
What You'll Find Here
Because my interests are wide-ranging, so is the content on this blog. You can expect a mix of:
- Travel Stories & Guides: More than just itineraries—I focus on the culture, the people, and the lessons learned on the road.
- Personal Essays: Musings on life, creativity, personal growth, and everything in between.
- Cultural Commentary: Thoughts on books, films, and art that have left a mark on me.
- Food & Flavors: Exploring the world one bite at a time, from street food stalls to home-cooked recipes.
Beyond the Blog
When I’m not writing, you can usually find me with my nose in a book, attempting to learn a new language (with mixed results!), or hiking a trail somewhere beautiful. I’m based in Mumbai, India, but my heart is always halfway across the world.
