Tanya, Himanshu and a crab walk into an airport.

Hi, I'm Tanya. By day I'm an actuary, which means I plan trips like spreadsheets, because they are. Every route, every ticket and every euro goes in. Then Himanshu and I go, and the plan meets real life.

Stamps & Sagas is both halves of that. The stamp is the place: the real route, the real cost, the timings that actually worked. The sagais everything the spreadsheet didn't see coming.

Meet Kekdu

Kekdu is my alter ego: a red crab with round gold glasses. The name comes from kekda, Hindi for crab, and I'm a Cancerian, so the crab is my star sign. I stay friendly and practical. Kekdu says what I'm really thinking, including “skip it”.
