I have to admit I was surprised at SATTE (at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi) in a very pleasant way! I was spending some time at the Malaysia Tourism stall when a gentleman called me and said hello and then added, you stayed at our resort at Bukit Gambang. I was completely floored. I have been there…

That Knock on my Hotel Door at Goa!
I usually have a very normal stay (and thank God for that) whenever I travel. This year in March I was in Goa and I was staying at what I am sure was not your typical Goa budget hotel. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against budget hotels in Goa or for that matter…
Seri Pacific Hotel, Kuala Lumpur- Perfect for Business
On my first trip to Malaysia I stayed at Seri Pacific Hotel, a truly comfortable place. It is a good choice for business travelers as the Putra World Trade Center (PWTC) is adjacent to the hotel. PWTC was the venue of our conference and being right next door to Seri pacific, it made the task…
Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside- A Beautiful Hotel
When I visited Malaysia for the Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012 my first stop was Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside. Before leaving someone who knows Malaysia asked me where was I staying and when I said Putrajaya they were suitably impressed. I now understand why. It is a really beautiful hotel and has an equally beautiful location. True…
Lakshman Sagar, Pali, Rajasthan- The Journey and the First Impressions
When I heard from Lakshman Sagar about a possible invitation to their property I was quite excited as I liked what I saw on their website. We settled for 9th to 12th November as the dates for the visit. I now had to find train tickets to Ajmer just before the Diwali week. I got…
Arabian Bay Resort, Bukit Gambang Resort City, Malaysia
When we reached Bukit Gambang Water Park the first thing that was waiting for us was high tea, true to the Malaysian sense of hospitality! Food and Malaysia go hand in hand. It was one day when I needed it. I was really tired. Some food tucked inside me, I was willing to walk through…
The Taaras Beach and Spa Resort, Redang, Malaysia
Have you ever wondered a month or so after a trip that your memories slightly alter? I usually rewind my trips through my pictures. But after a month or so some memories fade out. And at other times I wonder why I did not talk about certain other events in the first place! I stayed…
Mumbai: The Food & Travel Paradise
All my trips to Mumbai have been either for events or for work. I have yet to explore the city as a tourist! Being on official visit has an advantage though, you don’t have to worry about the hotels in Mumbai! One of my trips to Mumbai was for a day long event. I arrived…
A Flowery Post
I am really partial to flowers. And I am not good at recognizing them. But there is a huge directory of Indian flowers and I painstakingly browse through it to identify my flowers. So I realized that the one above is called Allamanda. All these pictures have been clicked at Goa, at the hotel I stayed in,…
Eaton Smart Airport Transit Hotel at T3, IGI Airport, New Delhi
If you went to T3 (international airport in New Delhi) did you notice the hotel sign anywhere? I have to admit I missed it somehow even though I arrive at airports quite early. So I was quite thrilled when I got to know that I was invited to the Eaton Smart New Delhi Airport Transit…
