The people who have been with this blog would certainly recognize that romance is not my choice of topic but once in a while I do crazy things! So I wrote for Travel Write Asia an article named- Romantic Getaways in Malaysia. Do check it out. And now that I am on the topic, I did not include…

My Malaysia Photo Feature now on Rediff Getahead
A photo feature of my Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012 shots is now up on the Rediff Getahead. I am also at the end of my Malaysia pictures. So it is almost time to travel again. Let us see when and where. Nothing fixed as of now.
Beauties on the Roads of Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia
When I say beauties on the roads of Kuala Terengganu in Malaysia I mean the modes of transport! When I spotted this bus first I was too far away to click a picture. But the next day I saw it on the roads near the Shahbandar Jetty area. I was standing on a slightly elevated…
Kuala Terengganu’s Blue and Beautiful Skies
I loved the time I spent at Kuala Terengganu and Redang. We took a ferry from Jetty Shahbandar at Kuala Terengganu to go to the Redang Island. Before that we also spent a lot of time around the central market area. The sun was high but a bit diffused due to the clouds. But I…
Hotspots for Birding in Malaysia
I often say I became interested in birds only after I acquired my zoom lens. Then I could bring the birds closer and ask my more knowledge friends to identify them for me. And gradually it grew on me. I don’t have any super zooms, only a 70-300 mm lens. So to get a reasonable…
Snorkeling at Redang Island, Malaysia
In May 2012 CNNGo included Redang Island (or Pulau Redang as it is known locally) in Malaysia’ top 10 islands. And it entirely lived up to its reputation when I got a chance to visit it in September 2012! When I stepped out to the beach adjacent to my hotel, this was the view that greeted me. It was…
More Pictures from Malaysia
I got to see much more of Malaysia on my second trip. And Malaysia is the second country where I have been more than once. I have been to UK many times but it is because of my work. Come summer and I think Nepal will get added to this list as I plan to…
Rainy Days from Malaysia
For today’s skywatch I present two rainy day pictures from Malaysia. Of late I have developed a penchant to click pictures through car/bus windows when it is raining outside. That way sometimes I get interesting pictures! If you search for Sultan Abdul Samad Mosque, Sepang, Malaysia on the net, you will find that it is…
Cycling at Putrajaya, Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012
Guess what did we do after driving at the Sepang International Circuit? We went cycling at Putrajaya in Malaysia. It had been ages since I went cycling and I was wondering if I would be able to cycle again! But I did fine. Cycling is one activity that everyone can identify with, the bruises sustained…
Fraser’s Hill, Pahang, Malaysia
I have to admit I am spoiled when it comes to the mountains. After all one of the perks of staying in Delhi/Gurgaon is that you can travel overnight and be in the Himalayas. So when I realized that Fraser’s Hill (in Pahang, Malaysia) is 1524 meters (5000 feet) in altitude I was quite ambivalent about it. It…
