Yesterday there was a dust storm and the weather became a tad pleasant. When the rain drops started falling I liked the pattern they were making on the dusty ground. But the problem is that it rained only those four drops and now it has become humid as well. I am waiting for a good…

National Tourism Websites (NTOs) and their Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and Flickr Pages
The long list of National Tourism Organization links that you saw was actually to determine how many of them use social media. The answer is quite a few. I could find out information about 80 countries that used at least one social media (Web 2.0, Travel 2.0 or whatever you like to call it) platform….
World Cup Football Mania!
My daughter is quite equally faithful to both, but she can’t understand the common hysteria that surrounds around watching the world cup matches. And that is when Brat 2 is away in Russia, only Brat 1 and I make the noise! Since Brat 1 and 2 both are very fond of football, she kicks the…
Friday Flowers- Wild Flower with Raindrops

Skywatch Friday- Sky from a Flight
I know this could have been anywhere! But just to give you some idea I took this one on a flight from Dubai to Manchester in November 2009. After this I have taken only one more flight, from Delhi to Bangalore but I have acquired a new past time now, to click pictures of the…

Indian Pond Herons
Wish I had more zoom, and I think by the end of this month I will buy a new camera with a lot of zoom. I am busy with writing about the data that I gathered from those 196 195 country links that I mentioned in the previous post.
National Tourism Organization Websites of 195 Countries, NTO Websites
If you ever wondered about the official tourism website (also know as National Tourism Organization or NTO of a country) here is a list of 196 195 countries for you. This is a work in progress and an individual effort. Also, I know the list would become obsolete quite soon because so many URLS will change….
New Notice at IGI Airport New Delhi?
I think this notice is new at the Delhi Airport. Not that I go to airports quite frequently but I cannot recollect seeing this before. Maybe it is because of the forthcoming commonwealth games that they have put it? The best piece of an airport scenario (though this was at Chennai airport but I can…
