I recently got an opportunity to visit Varanasi with UP Tourism and Lonely Planet Magazine India. On our itinerary was Subah-e-Banaras which literally means a morning in Varanasi! I am not a morning person by any stretch of imagination. I howl and cry when I am asked to wake up and assemble in the lobby at 4.00...
The Kumbh Mela is one of the largest peaceful gathering on this earth. It happens every three years in rotation across four cities of India- Haridwar, Nasik, Ujjain and Prayagraj (formerly known as Allahabad).

So, it was a pleasant surprise to find such a modern museum closer home. Dabdi Kutir is the world's largest museum devoted to the life and teachings of on...
When I got an invitation from the UP Government and Lonely Planet Magazine India to visit the Kumbh Mela at Prayagraj I accepted it without any hesitation.

We arrived at the hotel in the evening after 7.00 pm. Chhavi and I, All Smiles! After going for a quick refresh in our spacious room we headed to the po...
Hooping over from Paris to Geneva was my sisters idea! I am the lazy one when it comes to vacations, I like to stay at one place. But she was adamant that we would go for a day trip to Geneva and that was that! I was carrying a new camera on the trip, the Canon EOS M50, which I had on loan from Canon India. I wa...

The Beautiful Christmas Tree at the Lobby of The Imperial As soon as I walked in I was greeted by this beautifully done Christmas Tree in the lobby. I...
There are countries that I want to go back, Russia falls in that category. I don't exactly know what is the charm, but my trip was inexplicably charming. Today I finally got around collecting my postcards from Moscow in one post. I was invited to Siberia on a blogging trip by Follow Up Siberia and I extended my sta...
