When it comes to aeroplanes I think the world can be divided into window lovers and aisle lovers. And no one loves the middle seats. If you wish to confirm this argument skip doing the web check in and see which seats you get on a full flight. All windows and aisles would be gone…

Countries Traveled, The Last Part
A while ago, I started country counting. My tally stands at just sixteen, or maybe I should say sweet sixteen. So I round up the tally with some of the beautiful skies I captured in the last six of them. You can see the first ten countries here and here. So this completes the list…
Wat Phra That at Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai, Thailand
Even my sleep deprived eyes could see that I was in the middle of grand splendor at the Wat Phra That Temple Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I can’t fall asleep on planes and I can’t feel fresh without sleep, hence the first day of a trip is usually tough for me. I visited…
An Epic Adventure with Flying Squirrels, Chiang Mai, Thailand
When I heard that we were taking a 45 minute drive out of Chiang Mai (Thailand) to experience a zipline, I was not too sure what we were up to. I have done ziplines before. I agree they are a lot of fun while they last, which is often less than a minute. I was…
How to Photograph Songkran?
When I was invited by TAT New Delhi to attend the Thai New year celebrations my first concern was how to photograph to Songkran? I mean it is a water festival and my camera doesn’t mix well with it. It was totally not acceptable to me that I would attend the festival without clicking pictures….

The Story of Tublu by Jahid Akhtar
My love for books is older than my love for travel. But with Chhavi around reading has gone down. So when I got Story of Tublu: An Amazing Journey Called Life from Jahid Akhtar I was not sure how long I would take to finish it. I took it on my trip to Shivpuri and…
A Chance Encounter with a Blind Passenger on Delhi Metro #themetroproject
This long weekend I am staying at my sister’s place. The chance encounter I am referring to, happened in the Delhi Metro. I was boarding it from MG Road station. I hardly ever get into a scuffle for a seat but then I am also human. Today I got into one such scuffle and being…
Bull’s Retreat, Shivpuri
If you would ask me I would stay in a camp any day over a retreat. But Chhavi had different ideas. She had a great time at the MHE Beach Camp but she didn’t like the nights as the camp has no electricity. I understand that as the camp is in the Rajaji National Park…
