Chasing Emerald is a cinematic travel memoir about wonder, fear, love, and the quiet ways a journey can change us.
In 2016, a Bollywood song planted Iceland inside Krishna Gady's imagination. Eight years later, he and his wife Rasu finally board a flight from India to a country they had only seen through screens - a land of black sand beaches, ancient glaciers, roaring waterfalls, ice caves, and emerald northern skies.
What begins as a dream trip slowly becomes something deeper.
Set against the raw beauty of peak winter Iceland, this memoir captures the uncertainty of first-time international travel, the chaos of missed plans and snowstorms, and the moments of silence that stay long after the journey ends. From standing between tectonic plates to watching the northern lights appear above a dark harbour at midnight, Krishna reflects on memory, marriage, expectation, and the strange truth that the places we imagine are rarely the places we finally find.
Honest, atmospheric, and deeply personal, Chasing Emerald Skiesis not just about Iceland - it is about discovering that wonder is still possible.
