As I was coming back (with Anuradha) from a trip to China Town at Kuala Lumpur, this was the site that greeted us at the train station. We can see Petronas Towers from Seri Pacific Hotel. So we ran to the concierge and asked if there was a place within the hotel from where we could click a…

A Blue Butterfly
Not sure if I will be able to blog on 7th from Kuala Lumpur so I am scheduling a post. This uncertainty is due to not having a relevant adapter for my laptop. I am planning to lug my clunky laptop around. Once I can sort out the adapter issue I would like to blog from…
Gulmohar Flowers
Thought I would quickly click the neighborhood Gulmohars before I leave for Malaysia. You never know in 4 days what may happen to them. As of now they are in their full glory. Will try to blog from Kuala Lumpur. But it will depend on the hotel connection and the laptop working with an adapter….
Will I? Won’t I?
In case you are wondering what is the question, it is the Malaysian visa question. And the flowers as I said are called Flame of Forest. Two more days to find out the answer.

Images from the Rock Garden, Chandigarh

I Hate 2X2 Small Planes
I have to admit I hate flying in 2X2 small planes. They are small and they get really thrown around during turbulence. And that leads to motion sickness for me. For example I went to Chandigarh today (work) and took an evening flight back. While going it was all peace and quiet. But coming back…

April has Been More of Photography and Less of Travel
April has not been great travel wise. But it looks like I will after all go to Chandigarh for work. Hope May will be a different month travel wise. So for a few more days I will have to manage with pictures rather than travel tales.
Chinese Honeysuckle or Malti Flowers
Clicked these Chinese Honeysuckles (also called Madhu Malti or Rangoon Creeper) in my backyard. What the eyes saw, could capture only a fraction of it in my picture. But they are still a pretty bunch, aren’t they? Also on more backyard update there is a purple sunbird nest and a tailor bird nest in the…
