Ganges at Rishikesh
I recently spent some time at Rishikesh in Uttarakhand. It was a college trip and three faculty members were there. We would often go out for a walk. There was a bridge close to our camp. The trouble was that it had wire meshes all over. So even though I would get good elevation I…

Wanderlust- When did I Catch it?
I am sometimes asked- when did I start to travel? Well there are two answers to it. One is that I started traveling after I stopped being active at sports. But these days a different answer suggests itself to me. And that is, I hardly travel! I have not yet started traveling, I want to…

The Sky in a Puddle!
Recently I was at Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. And I had a lot of fun clicking the mountains in a rain water puddle at the bus stand. I know the roads should not have this big holes but this is a daily sight for me, minus the reflection of the Dhauladhar Mountains. For more skies…
Ajmer Sharif, Ajmer, Rajasthan
The auto driver left me in a narrow street in Ajmer and said I could walk straight to the Ajmer Sharif shrine ahead. When I looked at the crowd my resolve wavered but I somehow proceeded to the entrance. I came to the dargah from the Ajmer Railway Station. The auto driver at the station wanted 200…
