The four of us have known each-other since Kindergarten (KG); we lost touch for some time till Facebook and Whatsapp reunited the entire class again! Back then if someone would have predicted that one day the four of us would sit in a plane and travel abroad together, we would have laughed out loud! But there we wer...
I landed at Barcelona on 15th May which is my birthday. I am now at that age where my body doesn't react kindly to flying out all night and missing on sleep. My favorite way to pass time in flights is to watch movies but off late I simply fall asleep. As I was flying via Munich, the immigration for the Scheng...
When I used to work, I frequently used to say, "when I travel I want to put at least 400-500 kilometers between me and home, the more the better!" And I usually did that. In the process I have hardly explored my own backyard. The most recent round of realization came after looking at some 'then and now' India...
Banjaar Tola is Taj Safaris luxury camp at the Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh. The property is close to the Mukhi Gate. This was my second trip to Banjaar Tola but after a gap of eight years. In 2009 I was a wide eyed blogger, by 2017 it takes a lot to make my eyes pop out! The Camps Banjaar Tola now cont...
Partial View of the Queue at Patient Reception Center, AIIMS Delhi It is painful enough to see your child see struggle at school as a parent. These days CBSE schools ask for Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Test in such cases to rule out any specific learning disability like dyslexia, dysgraphia etc. CBSE accepts...
Hungary is the third Schengen Visa I applied this year. My first one of the year was for Czech Republic. It was for a personal trip with my daughter and niece. The second one was for a blogging trip to Spain where it was easy to get the visa as I was assisted by the tourism board! Still, I had to complete the docume...
Our excitement knew no bounds as Chhavi and I were invited to stay at Novotel Goa Resorts and Spa for 2 nights. Luckily it was a long weekend so she was not missing school. But on weekends she plays tennis both in the mornings and the evenings but I could do nothing about that. Both of us have been to Goa before an...
This was my first third trip to Ladakh but my first to Khardungla. I have a special connection with Ladakh. The first blog post ever I wrote was about my forthcoming trip to Ladakh, in 2005. Twelve years later, I was invited to be a part of the Highest Blogger Meet at Khardungla organized by Scout My Trip and OYO Ro...
I visited the beautiful Inle Lake in Myanmar as part of #escapers17. It is a super event organized by Scoot and Accor Hotels. It is one trip that I will remember for a long time for all kind of reasons! It was a trip where I caught a flight every day for about five days in a row! It was also a trip where we bonded a...
I started my India travel blog, Travel Tales from India in 2005. In 2016 I realized Travel Tales from India and Abroad better reflected my writings. I love to walk and ride in metros around the world. I have not been everywhere, I am not even close, but it is on my list. I also quit my job as a professor in 2015, it was a happening year! I did a Ph.D. from IIT Kanpur ages ago!
