I do not have the money to travel through the globe but thankfully India in itself is big enough, 28 states and 7 Union Territories. I have to admit in the list below, when I say I have visited a state, it means I have seen a few places and not that I know it…

Kuldhara- The Ghost Town from Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
I know this is a long post but I present Kuldhara Village in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan as a part of Skywatch Friday. I managed to stay for 2 nights and 3 days at Jaisalmer courtesy Suryagarh Hotel. I was quite excited about the sand dunes in Jaisalmer but I had not even heard of Kuldhara Village…
When did you Last Kept Still for an Hour and Did Nothing?
When was the last time you lay down for an hour and you were awake? OK tossing and turning is not counted. I did it today morning at Rait, the spa at Suryagarh, Jaisalmer. I went for a Bliss Bali massage and it was sheer bliss to be pampered for an hour while the mind just thought of…

Saturday with Flowers- Himalayan Meadow Primroses
I used to post flowers on Friday as well as the skywatch. But I would usually become lazy about the second post about the flowers. So I decided to shift the flowers to Saturday. These are Himalayan Meadow Primroses that I clicked on the trek in May 2011 in Uttarakhand. Found the name via Flowers…
