I am not a frequent flyer and hence the headline of this post. For me flying internationally is exciting and fun. Going by my recent experienceinternational flight booking is not so much fun sometimes. My card was charged and no tickets were issued on a recent attempt! But let that not take away anything from the…

Of Pillars and Ancient Doorways
I visited Hauz Khas last year for the first time. Then I went back again in January and roamed around the ancient ruins. I liked this passage most from all the pictures I clicked. However it was not as quiet as the first picture will suggest. It was full of college going students who came with their guitar…
Gurgaon Roads
The roads in my part of the world can get incredibly congested and usually a lair of dust hangs over it. But on some days it turns to magic. On those days I try to pause and click a few pictures. This post is part of Sky Watch Friday. Do check them out, they rock!
Immigration Experience at London Heathrow and Manchester Airport
Between 2007 and 2011 I traveled to UK (for work) 5 times. I went through London Heathrow thrice and Manchester twice. From London I would then travel to Oxford. And from Manchester my destination has been Lancaster. I actually liked Oxford City a lot. I would spend sometime in London as well but I am…
A Parrotful Post- KL Bird Park, Malaysia

Jungle Babbler
I get to see a lot of birds without even leaving my home. I put a bowl of water for them in the balcony throughout the year. On weekends I give them a further incentive to visit my balcony. I will put something to eat as well. From my experience I know that the birds…
This Game of Ghosts by Joe Simpson
This Game of Ghosts by Joe Simpson is a remarkable book. I thought there could be nothing more gripping that his Touching the Void but I enjoyed reading this one equally if not more. If you have not read Touching the Void I would say you read it first. If you like reading about the…
Evening Glow at Hauz Khas Lake, New Delhi, India
When I visited the Hauz Khas area in South Delhi for the first time in October 2012 I certainly did not expect to see a lake right in the middle of the chaotic city that is Delhi. But there it was right in front of my eyes. I decided to spend some time exploring the…
Travel Fashion or Travel Gear?
I admit upfront that the topic of travel fashion/clothing makes me nervous. Those who know me will vouch for the fact that I can pack for even an overseas business trip in an hour or so. I will pack two business suits, formal shoes, a few shirts and I am done. Other than that I…
