When I attended SATTE at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi I got a chance to interact with Dr. Lee Jae Sang the director of Korea Tourism Organization at India. It was quite an experience to talk to him. He had been talking to a lot of news paper reporters and I wonder if he found chatting…

Sunset Colors from Palampur
This was on my last day at Palampur. I had come back from Sobha Singh’s Art Gallery at Andretta. Andretta is really in middle of nowhere! The day was cloudy otherwise the views would have been beautiful. Whatever I saw was even through mist was grand. I got back just in time to pack and…
Delhi to Bagdogra on an Air India Flight
The last time I took a flight with Air India (its domestic operation was earlier known as Indian Airlines) it was from Delhi to Bagdogra. I was headed to Baiguney (Sikkim) to attend an event organized by Club Mahindra. Those of you who have been on sponsored trips, you might agree with me that an invitation feels complete…
Malaysia Tourism at SATTE, New Delhi
I have to admit I had not heard of SATTE before today. I was there on invitation of Malaysia Tourism. So initially I thought it was a Malaysia Tourism event. It was only after reaching Pragati Maidan I realized it was a big big exhibition! Malaysia Tourism officials at SATTE, New Delhi It was a privilege…
Plumbeous Water Redstart
I clicked this picture of the Plumbeous Water Redstart while walking around in Palampur. I was walking from my hotel to the bus stand at Palampur. This Plumbeous Water Redstart was a very obliging bird. When I saw it I had the kit lens on the camera. The bird was so patient that I could change…
Colorful Dilli Haat
Yesterday I took two of my British colleagues to Dilli Haat. My take was that they could shop around and see some colors at one place. Also it was a bright sunny day, when it was good to be out there in the sun. I shudder to think if I took them out and it…
Marina Beach, Chennai
Marina Beach at Chennai is for sure not the most beautiful beach I have ever seen but I have to say it is going to remain very special for me always. It was the first time when my daughter saw sea here. Initially she was a bit overwhelmed. But by the second day (at Besant Nagar…
Twilight at Chennai
It has been a very busy week. In between my blog was also acting up. Thankfully it is now back to its normal good behavior. For today’s sky watch I present a picture I clicked at twilight at Chennai. We were walking back from Marina Beach in Chennai when I clicked this picture handheld. I…
Winter Chill
Delhi feels like Palampur right now! I remember how cold it was at Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. If you take out the view, NCR feels like it right now! And there are so many people without warm clothes. What do you think of the various drives for collecting warm clothes? Or do you prefer to…
Chokling Monastery Prayer at Bir, Himachal Pradesh
In December I was traveling solo to Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. I had a great time. I would usually take the local bus to a nearby place and then take it back towards the evening. In the evening I would have a gajar ka halwa, chai and sometimes dhokla before heading to my hotel for…
