I have to admit I was crazy about bird photography once. I bought a macro lens (75-300 mm) thinking I would click flowers. After I got the Macro I started chasing the birds instead. I did it for a long time. But I would never be too happy with my pictures barring a few. And I always…

Kuala Terengganu’s Blue and Beautiful Skies
I loved the time I spent at Kuala Terengganu and Redang. We took a ferry from Jetty Shahbandar at Kuala Terengganu to go to the Redang Island. Before that we also spent a lot of time around the central market area. The sun was high but a bit diffused due to the clouds. But I…
Cliff Jumping- Now Why did I do That?
When I showed this picture to a friend, he asked, “So did you go down screaming?” To my “no” he added, “I would, because what if that was the last thing I did in life!” I had no such thoughts when I took off that ledge. But the question remains, why did I do it?…
Hotspots for Birding in Malaysia
Update: The links in this post became outdated to I had to take it out. Please enjoy my new blog posts. I often say I became interested in birds only after I acquired my zoom lens. Then I could bring the birds closer and ask my more knowledge friends to identify them for me. And…
Snorkeling at Redang Island, Malaysia
In May 2012 CNNGo included Redang Island (or Pulau Redang as it is known locally) in Malaysia’ top 10 islands. And it entirely lived up to its reputation when I got a chance to visit it in September 2012! When I stepped out to the beach adjacent to my hotel, this was the view that greeted me. It was…
Hauz Khas, Delhi- Really Khas!
When I started looking at my pictures from my yesterday’s visit to Hauz Khas, my intention was to do one post. I realized it would be one very long post if I posted even the pictures I thought have come out well. I have to admit I have hardly explored Delhi at all. Yesterday too,…
Sunset at Hauz Khas, Delhi
I went to Hauz Khas to meet fellow bloggers Mariellen Ward, Digant and Priyanka. We meet at Naivedyam at Kauz Khas. And later we dropped into Kunzum Cafe too which is run by Ajay Jain. The idea was to talk about Delhi Travel Massive and how to go about organizing it. I have to admit…
More Pictures from Malaysia
I got to see much more of Malaysia on my second trip. And Malaysia is the second country where I have been more than once. I have been to UK many times but it is because of my work. Come summer and I think Nepal will get added to this list as I plan to…
Rainy Days from Malaysia
For today’s skywatch I present two rainy day pictures from Malaysia. Of late I have developed a penchant to click pictures through car/bus windows when it is raining outside. That way sometimes I get interesting pictures! If you search for Sultan Abdul Samad Mosque, Sepang, Malaysia on the net, you will find that it is…
Cycling at Putrajaya, Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012
Guess what did we do after driving at the Sepang International Circuit? We went cycling at Putrajaya in Malaysia. It had been ages since I went cycling and I was wondering if I would be able to cycle again! But I did fine. Cycling is one activity that everyone can identify with, the bruises sustained…
