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 [...]

- Mouth Watering Tibetan Food at McLeod GanjTibetan Food at McLeod GanjI was transferring pictures from my mobile phone to the computer. I don't know why but a lot of my pictures didn't had the .jpg extension and Picasa was not reading it. So I decided to change the extension of the pictures to .jpg manually for around 175 pictures! The reward was this long forgotten Tibetan meal at McLeod G […]

- Dash to K-GudiWe have taken Iravan to all of our favourite places except K-Gudi. One of the reason was in our last visit we found that still they have no electricity, so were always afraid how he’ll cope up with dark. And then we decided to take a chance. It was a casual visit to M.G.Road and [...]

- Savandura Ride 'O' TrekCLICK HERE FOR MORE PIXArun called me along for a small trek to Savandurga rock near bangalore. Been to this place many times but never went up the rock. Its a steep climb on the rock face to the summit. Taking the wrong path could get one stuck on the steep rock face not knowing hot to go up or down. Cos if you loose a foot hold there is nothing to break th […]

- The Chhatris and Spires of OrchhaI am now in Kanha, one of the best kept national parks in India that once boasted of more than a hundred tigers. The naturalist here with me says, the numbers are now down to 89. He helpfully adds that the smaller number is not attributed to poaching, but because the tigers are expanding their [...]

- The Valley Of GodsThe clouds opened up and it started to drizzle. The mp3 player played the latest Hindi songs. Amitesh and I having occupied the last seat of Innova, trickled into a catnap. Sharmil and Nimit in the middle and Hiren in front began their tittle-tattle to keep themselves busy.The slowness of the vehicle and the loud roar of the downpour outside broke my forty w […]

- A Favorite ShirtIf you are the kind of person that gets attached to some of the small things you own (certain clothes or a particular pen, for example) you will understand this.My wife pointed out that a few stitches were coming undone in my green striped Polo shirt, noticeable if one looked closely. Among my shirts, it was the one I liked the most. It had become a favorite […]

- Vypin Island, Kerala-Dolphins and Chinese Net FishingVypin Island is criss crossed by canals. Though the area nearer to mainland is now waiting to see a boom in construction of multi storey buildings, the island and its beaches still have a serenity and beauty which is becoming rarer by the day.Standing in front of a noisy school on the bank of the backwaters, one could see a school of dolphins popping in and […]

- IT’S ALL GREEK TO ME, AND I WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!I have always liked anything to do with Greece since I was very young. I've had a special fascination for Greek mythology and ancient architecture. So obviously, I have always wanted to go there and always wanted to see the Parthenon first hand, and always wanted to be at the Minoan palace in Crete…and finally, in 2009, those dreams, and many more, were […]

- Serene beaches of Karwar Day 1"The sea beach of Karwar is certainly a fit place in which to realise that beauty of nature is not a mirage of imagination, but reflects the joy of the infinite and thus draws us to lose ourselves into it.Where the universe is expressing itself in the magic of its laws it may not be strange if we miss its infinitude; but where the heart gets into immedi […]

- ArrayYercaudThis place needs no introduction, but for the benefit of everyone, here’s a small one on that. 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 […]
