I love it when I can catch a colorful sunset right in the middle of the city. This was clicked from my sister’s home at Noida. Of course I am presenting the scene quite selectively here, I have not included the construction cranes and other such trappings of civilization. The birds just crossed the frame…

Moosi Rani Ki Chharti, Alwar, Rajasthan
I recently visited Alwar in Rajasthan which is about 150 kilometers from Delhi. But as both of us are not a big fan of driving we took the Shatabdi Express from Gurgaon. Alwar is one and a half hour journey from Gurgaon by Shatabdi. I used to think that when we would start traveling with…
Mumbai and Jet Airways- Always on Business
There are certain things that I always end up doing on business- like flying Jet Airways and visiting Mumbai. In the recent past I can remember only one Jet Airways flight and I actually took it to Mumbai for attending a conference. Trips like these mean I work hard and hardly get to explore the…
Cheetah ka Tou Pata Nahin per Monkey Jarur Peeta hai!
Sorry for the Hindi title but it is related to an old ad of Mountain Dew which claims that Cheetah drinks Mountain Dew. Well I don’t know about the Cheetah but monkeys at Siliserh Lake at Alwar (Rajasthan) certainly like to to drink Mountain Dew and other cold drinks. It was my daughter who came shrieking to me…
Back from Alwar, Rajasthan
We took a short break at Alwar in Rajasthan. This was a family trip and we all enjoyed a lot. I just got back a few hours back. But as I have said before, if I have an internet connection I will blog. I find it difficult to go to sleep if I don’t. And…
White Clouds at Palampur
This was the day sky at Palampur. The view was beautiful as we were walking back from the Deer Park at Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. I was of the view that Palampur itself has such rich vegetation, do we really need a Deer Park? The local friend who took me there was of the view…
A Few Hours at Shimla
I visited Naldhera (about 19 km from Shimla) sometime back. If you would ask me honestly I am more of an off beat place person rather than the mainstream. But I got to experience Shimla Tourism while I was returning back from Naldhera. I clearly remember that it was a rainy day but then when…
Sunset Colors from Palampur
This was on my last day at Palampur. I had come back from Sobha Singh’s Art Gallery at Andretta. Andretta is really in middle of nowhere! The day was cloudy otherwise the views would have been beautiful. Whatever I saw was even through mist was grand. I got back just in time to pack and…
Delhi to Bagdogra on an Air India Flight
The last time I took a flight with Air India (its domestic operation was earlier known as Indian Airlines) it was from Delhi to Bagdogra. I was headed to Baiguney (Sikkim) to attend an event organized by Club Mahindra. Those of you who have been on sponsored trips, you might agree with me that an invitation feels complete…
Plumbeous Water Redstart
I clicked this picture of the Plumbeous Water Redstart while walking around in Palampur. I was walking from my hotel to the bus stand at Palampur. This Plumbeous Water Redstart was a very obliging bird. When I saw it I had the kit lens on the camera. The bird was so patient that I could change…
