The Garuda Indonesia World Photography Contest

Posted on June 7, 2013May 14, 2021

If you have been browsing through this blog you may guess that I love taking pictures. I simply truly love taking pictures and I enjoy it so much more because this is the only creative streak I have ever shown in my life. And yet if you ask me to take part in a photo…

The Durban Skyline, South Africa

The Sky and Skyline at Durban, South Africa

Posted on June 7, 2013May 14, 2021

For today’s sky watch I present Durban again. There is uShaka Marine World at Durban and the beach behind it. We took a taxi to go there but we walked back to our hotel from the beach. While walking back I would always lag behind the group, I just kept clicking pictures. The walk was…

Pashupati Nath Temple, Kathmandu, Nepal

It is Almost Time to Head out to Nepal

Posted on June 6, 2013May 14, 2021

It is that time again, when it feels like war. I would be leaving station soon to go to Nepal. The idea is to try and trek through the Annapurna Circuit. Due to my work commitments I could not take leave earlier. So let us see how the monsoon treats me. But then I am…

Bourke's Luck Potholes, Blyde River Canyon

Bourke’s Luck Potholes, Panorama Route, Mpumalanga, South Africa

Posted on June 5, 2013May 14, 2021

Bourke’s Luck Potholes are part of the Blyde River Canyon. You will have to forgive me for initially not being too excited about them, after all I drive daily on pothole filled roads in my daily commute to work. But these were different type of potholes, completely different! The potholes are named after Tom Bourke…

Masks, South Africa

Come Hide Behind Me!

Posted on June 4, 2013May 14, 2021

I do not buy as many souvenirs as I click pictures of. These face masks looked so regal to me. Buying felt impractical but clicking a picture did not. We found a lot of souvenir shops along the Panorama route and after a while it was difficult to drag everyone out of them to continue…

Southern Sun Elangeni, Durban, South Africa

Southern Sun Elangeni and Maharani Hotel, Durban, South Africa

Posted on June 3, 2013May 14, 2021

At Durban we were hosted at Southern Sun Elangeni and Maharani Hotel and it is right by the beach. I had a beach facing room too. I think a lot of rooms are beach facing at this hotel. As South Africa is three and half hours behind India I would easily wake up by 6.00…

Wildebeest, Manyeleti Game Reserve, South Africa

Wildebeest

Posted on June 2, 2013May 14, 2021

When I first say wildebeest I thought it was a close cousin of the bovine family. On reading about Wildebeest later I realized they are from the antelope family. My guide Erick would as usual try to converse with them. When we would try to take pictures he would command, “Stop you ugly beasts what…

African Buffalo or Cape Buffalo

The African Buffalo or the Cape Buffalo

Posted on June 1, 2013May 14, 2021

The wildlife in South Africa is truly amazing. If you go on a safari, you will hear the term Big Five all the time. Cape Buffalo is part of the big five gang in Africa. When we asked our guides, why the African Buffalo or the Cape Buffalo is the part of the Big 5…

Scenery Around the Three Rondavels, Mpumalanga, Panorama Route, South Africa

South African Music

Posted on May 29, 2013May 14, 2021

South Africa is mesmerizing for so many reasons. The people, the food, the music, the landscape all are stunning. I am blessed to have traveled to South Africa. South African Music I hope you will enjoy this foot tapping music. This was featured at the SAA CEO’s Breakfast at INDABA 2013. Foot tapping, isn’t it?…

Dubai

The Dubai Connection

Posted on May 28, 2013May 14, 2021

I have not traveled within Dubai (shall I say yet?) but my younger nephew, also known as Brat 2, has done a long internship in Dubai and I have heard a lot of tales! He is an excellent traveling companion and we have been chatting about visiting Dubai together but let us see when we…
