When I started looking at my pictures from my yesterday’s visit to Hauz Khas, my intention was to do one post. I realized it would be one very long post if I posted even the pictures I thought have come out well. I have to admit I have hardly explored Delhi at all. Yesterday too,…

Solo Woman Travel in India
Many a times the first question that is asked about solo women travel in India is, “is it even possible?” If you go by my limited experience the answer is yes but with caution. I never really intended to travel solo and my first solo trips were for work abroad rather than in India. And…
Valley of Flowers and Hemkunt Sahib Trek, Uttarakhand, India
This is the first summer when I have trekked twice and I think I am going to make it a habit. In this post I am collating all my Valley of Flowers and Hemkunt Sahib Trek links and also sharing a few more pictures. Traveling to Rishikesh and Joshimath (Day 1 &2 of the trip)…
A Trip to the Rock Garden, Chandigarh
I went yesterday to Chandigarh for work but my work got over unexpectedly by 3.30 pm or so. My flight back was at 7.00 pm. The distances at Chandigarh are not that great so I decided to check out the Rock Garden once again. I was last there in 1988 (yes you read it right!)…
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…
Dusk at Chilika Lake, Odisha

Close Up of Gazania Flowers
Had clicked these Gazania flowers in winter with my cell phone. Such a sunny and cheerful picture they paint! They certainly made my day brighter. Are you partial to flowers like me?
There is Treasure Everywhere!
I subscribe to Calvin and Hobbes comic strips in my reader. And I was a few days back reading through a few pages of the book There’s Treasure Everywhere (the link will take you to the comic strip and a blog by Matt Gibbson). That is how I felt when I discovered these golden wheat…
Tiger Butterflies in the Neighborhood
When I cannot travel I try to see what is around me! I am blessed to live in a low rise area with many plants. As I have been rummaging through my folder I decided to take the neighborhood bird walk today. I didn’t had much luck with birds but had some with butterflies, the…
A Beautiful Sunset near a Peepal Tree
I am rummaging through the folders these days and found this picture that I took at a park at Noida at sunset. There is something so amazing about sunsets, also that it is easier to stay awake at that hour than at the sunrise!
