I do not quite know what to make of 2015 in the first 15 days. On the first day itself my car got a new scratch and a check that I received for a blogging assignment was mildly torn. I am hardly sentimental towards my car, but I am quite sentimental for my blog. And…

To Make a List or Not of Must See Destinations
I was firmly in the camp of not making list of the places I really want to see. The problem was I wish to see almost all the places in the world! I have anyway no control over who likes my blog and invites me! South Africa was not even on my radar and yet…
Beautiful Skies from Batal in Spiti
Spiti is one of my favorite favorite regions in Himachal Pradesh in India. For most, Batal is a pit stop at the Chaha Chachi ka dhaba but we have been lucky to camp at Batal. And what could be more appropriate but to remember such beautiful places at the start of a new year! Another year…
May We All Travel More in 2015
Wish you all a very happy, travel filled 2015. May we all travel more. That is what I have been wishing for, year after year! And if I can get more of the same as 2014 travel wise, I promise I am not going to complain! Other than the constant desire for travel, there are…
If You Had to Pick Only One Picture III
It is almost time to let go of 2014. It has been a good year for me. So to sum up my travels for this year I continue with ‘if you have to pick up only one picture’ series. Only I am posting 10 pictures this time as I do need to warp up the…
The Last Trip of 2014- Sariska, Rajasthan
We did a quick trip to Sariska Rajasthan over the extended weekend. This was the first time in 2014 that all three of us traveled together! I took Chhavi out and Seshadri took Chhavi out, I went out and Seshadri went out but somehow the dates never coincided for the three of us. And more…
Ways to Kill Time at Airports
I quite enjoy being at airports. Given the traffic situation in many places like Bengluru, NCR etc. I like to arrive early rather than risk missing my flight. In other countries that I visit, because of unfamiliarity with the immigration norms I try to reach before time. But the best was when we were in…

So, I am back with more simple photography tips which are camera independent. They will work with any camera you use. If you wish to look at previous tips, here are part I and part II of the series. Keeping the Horizon Straight I was not even aware that I used to mess up my horizons…
Naksel Boutique Hotel and Spa, Paro, Bhutan
I have stayed in some really beautiful hotels this year. I should also add that the expensive and swank ones happened because of the sponsored trips. One such hotel was Naksel Boutique Hotel and Spa in Paro, Bhutan. Paro is a tranquil place to begin with and Naksel is even further away from the small…
Sunset Dinner in Thailand
When I first heard of it, I was perplexed. Sunset for me is really early in the evening. Nine at night is more like real evening to me. I usually eat food around nine. When I visited Krabi, the sunset was at 6.30 pm. It is tea time for me. On working days I usually…
