I traveled to Sariska in September after a long time. My last trip was to Coimbatore in February 2020. A few travel opportunities did come my way but I was not confident about it so I kept saying no. I decided to go on a blogging trip to Sariska Manor in September as corona cases…

Shatabdi Express Journeys with Indian Railway
There was a time when trains used to be my favorite mode of travel. I still like it but I would happily take a flight over a train if it is available. Among all the journeys that I end up embarking on trains by the Indian Railway, I prefer the Shatabdi Express experiences the best….
