Home, on call.

Enter the house

The private house of Simran and Adarsh. Our people, our places and the everyday running of a home, kept by Chauka and open only to the two of us.

About us

Two of us, one home.

simaadi started as a list and became the place we keep the life around us: the trips, the people, the photos and the small business of running a home. This page is the front door. Everything else stays inside, for the two of us.

Chauka

Talk to the house.

Chauka listens in Indian English on the desk at home and here on the page. The same memory answers both, so nothing is explained twice.
