  Horn Experts: Siddaiah Road, Bangalore.Old parts, new parts, spare parts and scrap, that is what you will find on Siddaiah Road in Bangalore; a one-stop place if you own a lorry, truck or tractor and need anything from leaf springs, radiators, horns to gears and transmissions. I had gone by this road some time earlier in the morning and had found all the sho […]

- A translucent bead of emerald !
  When the train dropped us in Haridwar, the last dawn of May wiped her half-shut eyes in deep surmise to greet us—stunned she was, perhaps, for all so humble punctuality of Doon Express. We too were. Before she could spread her wings to fly for the day, we were curled up under loads of sacks [...]

  October 17 this year is Diwali, the biggest celebration of the year in India.

It’s also known as the festival of [...]

  The SkyTower is Auckland’s major landmark and a tourist attraction. As far as I know, it is the tallest tower in the southern hemisphere. The view from the top of the platform is incredible.

- And the journey goes on..
  Journeys are a way of life. We wade through life looking for a purpose,seeking one milestone after another, looking for destinations but realizing that very often than not,there is no end to a journey. Home is really a state of mind then. For a vagabond like me , my alter ego lies in a spirit that is lost in the hills, running down the plains, getting her fe […]

  The night train takes you from Delhi to Haridwar in less than 5 hours. You could also drive down by road if the weather is pleasant.

- Hyderabad's Nehru Zoological Park aka Hyderabad Zoo
  Hyderabad is dry and it doesn't rain as much here as it does in many other cities of the country. As a result, the Hyderabadi terrain is largely composed of rocks. Huge boulders of stones strewn around everywhere with a few shrubs and fewer trees anywhere in sight. Its a lot like Ahmedabad in that respect, albeit, I have to say that the Government in Hy […]

Yercaud is a quaint little hill station in the district of Salem in Tamil Nadu.This is often referred to as the “Poor man’s OOTY”. I cannot quite see the logic for this. Yercaud is not as crowded as Ooty, and at the same time, it offers all that is expected […]
