This happened on a very cold day at dawn. I should have logically been fast asleep. I did not put any alarm to get up at sunrise. I also watched a lot of movies on TV the night before! And yet my eyes opened on its own and the view from the window at Palampur…

Images from Chennai Streets
I am no street photographer, I am really scared of clicking people. But I am not so timid when it comes to clicking the stuff displayed by street vendors on the road. Sometimes when I click a picture they ask me to click one of them as well. I will start with apple and oranges. I was…
A Missed Approach at Delhi Airport
We were flying back from Bangalore to Delhi today. When the flight started boarding on time at Bangalore we assumed that the fog was bearable at Delhi. My daughter and I slept through most of the flight. I didn’t even drink my customary tea on the Indigo flight. To put the record straight I do not…
May We All Travel More and Safe in 2013
Wishing you all a very peaceful 2013. My country certainly needs it. But wherever you are may you travel safe and even more in 2013. May you travel far and near. And may you travel more with your near and dear ones as well throughout 2013.

That Aimless Walk at Palampur
The day I arrived at Palampur my hosts at the Holiday Home Hotel (it is a home based hotel) asked me, “so what would you do today”? And I told them “nothing” as I was way too tired. True to the form after breakfast I went to sleep, the effect of Avomine was still taking…
Beautiful Indian Women
It is only when I get out I realize how stereotypical is the definition of beauty around me! Particularly in the ads and movies. I am no street photographer! I am a big chuha when it comes to clicking strangers. But I don’t know what I liked about these women that I had to click…
What is there to See in Palampur?
I was once talking about a hill station I visited for which I was full of enthusiasm. It was slightly far away from a bigger well known spot in the hills. And I was asked, “So what is there to see?” The question caught me by surprise! For me the biggest draw has always been…
A Short Trip to Palampur in Himachal Pradesh
I had a fabulous one week in Palampur. The details will start pouring in. But let me start with their mere bus stand and a lowly puddle! It happens only in Himachal Pradesh I think! I had a gala time. I stayed at the Holiday Home Hotel a lovely home based accommodation. And the full disclosure…
