Is it really important to figure out what to wear when we go to another country? Isn’t it that we are increasingly becoming alike in our ways of dressing up? To some extant yes we all are becoming alike in many parts of the world and yet I think we retain our quirks as well….

Take off from Bangkok
I have said this many times before and I will say it again, I love window seats on a plane. I love them more if I know I will catch a sunrise or a sunset during my flight. I also usually take a seat from where I know I would get a wing shot from…
Petrified of Street Photography? So am I!
I am truly petrified of street photography. It feels like a daunting task to point my camera at a stranger’s face and click. I know, I know in India not too many people mind, but I just completely freeze most of the time. And yet I was fascinated by it too. I would keep reading…
Wingpod Purslane or Portulaca
It is such a common flower in India I never thought it would have this complicated name- Wingpod Purslane! The flower is also known as Portulaca. The images below were clicked at the Taling Chan Floating Market in Bangkok though. The market is situated on the Chao Phraya River. You can easily hire a long…
The Smiling Faces of Bayon- The Center of Angkor Thom, Camboida
Out of nowhere the rain started falling heavily as we were nearing Angkor. My heart sank, I have had way too much of rain on many of my trips this year. I was left wondering if I would see Angkor in pouring rain! It was not what I wanted. Heavy rains mean the camera stays…
Sunrise at Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia

Where Lotus Grew Like Weed
What do you do when you see pretty flowers on your dining table? When I saw the bunch that is featuring below we started a discussion, whether the lotus flowers were real or not! I mean have you seen a lotus flower arrangement like this before? I had not, for sure. My first question to…
The Pub Street and the Night Market, Siem Reap, Cambodia
After the glittering dance performance (about which you can read here) at Siem Reap we were dropped back to our hotel, Sokha Angkor Resort which is a mighty fine hotel. It was surely not beyond 9.00 pm. We had just one night at Siem Reap so we wanted to cram in as much as we…
Scintillating Dances from Siem Reap, Cambodia
I spent just one night and two days in Cambodia but what an everlasting impact it left. As part of the ASEAN Media Trip we were hosted for dinner by the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism at Royal Angkor Resort. Along with the dinner, they also hosted a scintillating dance show for us. The scene was…
