I started tweeting about a month back on Mondays about where would I rather like to be! So today after a particularly … whatever day I decided why not, this can spill over occasionally to the blog too. So this Monday these were the five places that look particularly appealing. Pushkar: The nostalgia for Pushkar…

Maldivian Sunsets
For today’s Sky Watch I bring you the Maldivian sunsets with silhouettes. Being on a beach at sunset is a beautiful experience, in Maldives doubly so. You can gaze into the golden water or watch the waves at play. On the day I clicked pictures, there was a gentle breeze as well. The heat had…
Visa on Arrival for Maldvies
Visa on arrival for Maldives was a simple affair for me. I love the countries that give me a visa on arrival. As of now I have visited a few nations which give visa on arrival. I have been to Hong Kong, Thailand, Bhutan and Maldives. Next, I also love the countries that give me electronic…
I Love my Nokia Lumia 1020
When I visited Finland with Nokia not only I managed to see a new country I got a new phone too. The company gave me a Lumia 1020. I have now used it for more than a month and I really love it. To begin with it is a 41 megapixel camera. Even my DSLR…
Lack of Sleep, Hallucinations and What Not!
Most of my trips are short, that is the only way I can travel a lot with a full time job. The day I come back, usually the very next day I am at work. If I arrive at 1.00 am in the morning, I am at work by 9.30 am. If I arrive at…
Baby Bull in a Bone China Shop or Cafe 88 with Chhavi
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…
Maldives Nostalgia
Looking at my Maldives pictures leaves me with such deep nostalgia. Not looking at them also induces it! If I could run back to Maafushi, I would do so right this moment. This time I will go with a underwater casing for my mobile phone and I will not fall sick when I come back!…
Tracking a Tiger
Have you ever wondered how do they go about tracking a tiger? We were sitting in a jeep deep inside the zone 5 of Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan. This was the zone where in the morning two tiger cubs had been spotted. Above the noise of the the Gypsy I couldn’t hear a thing. Suddenly the…
There is More to the Jungle than Just Tiger
When you go to a tiger reserve in India, you of course wish to sight the tiger. But remember it is a wild animals, it has a free will of its own. The only place where a tiger sighting is guaranteed is the zoo. In the jungle you have to do tapasya to see it….
Conversations in the Jungle, #Saveourtigers Trip with Aircel
When the good folks at Aircel asked if I enjoyed their Save Our Tigers trip to Ranthambore, I told them it should have been obvious to them by my happy state. They then asked what did I like? To me the most valuable part of this trip was the conversations I was privileged to be…
