I will show you the parrots from the KL Bird Park (from a May 2012 trip) but before that you have to listen to my woes. Two of my trips in February got cancelled and suddenly I am left with a feeling that I have no pictures to post on the blog. When this happens…

Redang Island, Malaysia
It has happened to me so many times! I miss a picture completely at the first go and then I wonder how did that happen! So for the lazy Sunday here is a picture from Redang Island, Malaysia. And I am left scratching my head, how did I miss it the first time! It didn’t…
You Stayed at Our Resort- Bukit Gambang Resort City, Malaysia
I have to admit I was surprised at SATTE (at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi) in a very pleasant way! I was spending some time at the Malaysia Tourism stall when a gentleman called me and said hello and then added, you stayed at our resort at Bukit Gambang. I was completely floored. I have been there…
Malaysia Tourism at SATTE, New Delhi
I have to admit I had not heard of SATTE before today. I was there on invitation of Malaysia Tourism. So initially I thought it was a Malaysia Tourism event. It was only after reaching Pragati Maidan I realized it was a big big exhibition! Malaysia Tourism officials at SATTE, New Delhi It was a privilege…
It was a Fabulous Year

I stopped at Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary only for a few hours. I wish I had more time. When I got there I stood with others to listen to the rangers telling us the story of their elephants. It was obvious from the way they told the story that the elephants were a big part…
Seri Pacific Hotel, Kuala Lumpur- Perfect for Business
On my first trip to Malaysia I stayed at Seri Pacific Hotel, a truly comfortable place. It is a good choice for business travelers as the Putra World Trade Center (PWTC) is adjacent to the hotel. PWTC was the venue of our conference and being right next door to Seri pacific, it made the task…
A Night Trek at Fraser’s Hill, Malaysia- A Walk in the Dark!
I have trekked many times through a jungle, so many times that I am comfortable. I know the amount of noise any group makes is a guarantee that there would be no animals for miles around hence I am not worried. But the jungle acquire a different hue at night, one that is dark and somber….
Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside- A Beautiful Hotel
When I visited Malaysia for the Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012 my first stop was Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside. Before leaving someone who knows Malaysia asked me where was I staying and when I said Putrajaya they were suitably impressed. I now understand why. It is a really beautiful hotel and has an equally beautiful location. True…
Engaging with Batik at Noor Arfa, Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia
Call me challenged when it comes to crafts and arts. The only skill I have shown ever in a creative endeavor is with my camera and thank god for small mercies! So I had quite mixed feelings when I got to know that we were visiting the Noor Arfa Batik Complex at Kuala Terengganu. The building itself…
