How do you put in words the experience of my first scuba dive at Havelock? I don’t know how but I am still going to try. I spent a week in Port Blair and Havelock. I came back to reality just yesterday. I had more nights at Port Blair and less at Havelock but that…

The Cemetery at Mussoorie
The last time I went to Mussoorie it was on invitation from Ilbert Manor. On one of my walks on the Camel Back Road, I passed through the Mussoorie Cemetery. It had a small white gate marking the entrance. I 100% agreed with the notice outside. I do not like plucking flowers and I…
Dehradoon Railway Station
I am very fond of train journeys. But to think of it I think I like journeys because I am equally fond of bus and air travel too! The travel these days is I can’t stay awake on most of these trips. I am usually so tired that whatever is the scenery I can…

Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie- The Corner that I Loved Most
When I reached the Ilbert Manor late in the afternoon, I was quite zonked because of the Avomine (anti nausea medicine for mountain roads). I was quite quickly given the keys of my room and I headed to the second floor of the two story building. This was the view that greeted me. I completely…
It has been a Long Day
Went to the UK visa Gods today at Nehru Place, they at least took my application. And they are efficient. Then I had to go to Chandni Chowk to get the sensor dust removed from my camera and the zoom lens repaired. Left at around 12.00 noon and came back at 9.30 at night. Tired….
