When Cafe 88 said I was welcome to bring along Chhavi for an afternoon lunch to which I was invited, I guess both the parties didn’t know what we were signing in for. If I have to go to Delhi I usually take the metro. With Chhavi after two stations I start counting how many…

Dusit Devarana, New Delhi- Beautiful Spaces All Around
When I visited Dusit Devarana, New Delhi in November 2013, I liked what I saw. The occasion was the Thai Loi Krathong festival which was a night event. I liked it so much that I wanted to go back and click pictures during the day. Then started the search for a mutually agreeable dates which brought us to…
Necklaces at Dilli Haat
For this lazy Sunday I once again post a picture I clicked at Dilli Haat. Once again it is the colorful necklaces that are on display. I hardly ever wear one, so I never buy one, but clicking them is always a high priority! You get such a variety of necklaces on display that you…
Colorful Flags and a Blue Sky
All my travel plans are in a flux. I was supposed to travel to Thailand (with Tourism Authority of Thailand, would have been my second trip too) this Sunday but that trip was put on hold yesterday. So I cooked up new plans in a jiffy. All the flights closer to the date are now…
Colorful Dilli Haat
Dilli Haat is one of our favorite joints because it is so colorful. For this lazy Sunday I have some pictures from Dilli Haat. The Sunday was not really lazy because Chhavi and I went there today. When she was very small she used to think that shops were to look at and not to…

My only previous experience of a vegan meal was way back in 2000 when I was flying Delhi-Dubai-Greece. By the time it came to Greece-Dubai-Delhi leg I had enough of vegan food. My next tryst with it came yesterday night at a dinner organized at The Oberoi in Delhi. The dinner was organized by The…
Ishana Nature Spa, Saket- A Wonderful Experience
Yesterday night after my daughter went to sleep, I took out my camera out of the bag so that I could transfer the pictures. It still had the aroma of spa oils. The bag and the camera also got to spend around two hours at Ishana Natue Spa at Saket, New Delhi. I have been…
There is Something About Dilli Haat
I have been to Dilli Haat many times. It is a favorite place of mine to visit with my sister. I have taken guests there too and everyone has come back impressed. For me the attraction is obvious. It is a very colorful place and in good weather it means tons of opportunities to take…
Colors of Dilli Haat
We visited Dilli Haat today for a few hours. I always like that place it is such a riot of colors. And the weather was still quite bearable, though it is getting hotter by every passing day. Photography with my daughter is not that easy but she is growing up every day and is quite…
