Value for Money and Summer Vacations Don’t go Hand in Hand

Posted on May 21, 2014April 27, 2021

I have no qualms in declaring that I am extremely middle class. I am really a sucker for value for money. I have recently been given two gadgets which I simply love. I really like them to bits. But they are so damn expensive that when at a future date (really far away in future)…

An Auto Ride through the Narrow Lanes of Ajmer

Posted on May 20, 2014April 27, 2021

This time when I visited the Wheeler Bookstore at Ajmer Railway Station the person at the stall said, “lo aa gayen Agatha Christie ki fan!” (Here comes the Agatha Christie fan). In the last two years this was my fourth trip to Ajmer and as I bought Agatha Christie every time from the shop, so…

I started tweeting about a month back on Mondays about where would I rather like to be!

Lack of Sleep, Hallucinations and What Not!

Posted on May 5, 2014April 28, 2021

Most of my trips are short, that is the only way I can travel a lot with a full time job. The day I come back, usually the very next day I am at work. If I arrive at 1.00 am in the morning, I am at work by 9.30 am. If I arrive at…

Love Story

Posted on January 4, 2014May 9, 2021

All great love stories are complicated. If you have any doubts look around you, look at the literature and recall the legends. Could you find one that was uncomplicated? Remember Romeo and Juliet?

I had a very interesting conversation with Preethi Venugopal of Tulips and Me. It basically was about I should talk more about myself! I think I do reveal enough about me through my blogs but not so much by doing posts on it. So here is an attempt to talk about me! OK 10 things…

How Did You Name Your Blog?

Posted on October 10, 2013May 9, 2021

I got a comment recently on my blog that though the name of my blog is Travel Tales from India, I write about other countries! And then they say what is in a name. I think the impression was formed because of the recent spate of posts on Thailand and Cambodia. But that took me…
