Delhi feels like Palampur right now! I remember how cold it was at Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. If you take out the view, NCR feels like it right now! And there are so many people without warm clothes. What do you think of the various drives for collecting warm clothes? Or do you prefer to…

Chokling Monastery Prayer at Bir, Himachal Pradesh
In December I was traveling solo to Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. I had a great time. I would usually take the local bus to a nearby place and then take it back towards the evening. In the evening I would have a gajar ka halwa, chai and sometimes dhokla before heading to my hotel for…
Clouds at Sunrise, Palampur, India
This happened on a very cold day at dawn. I should have logically been fast asleep. I did not put any alarm to get up at sunrise. I also watched a lot of movies on TV the night before! And yet my eyes opened on its own and the view from the window at Palampur…
Images from Chennai Streets
I am no street photographer, I am really scared of clicking people. But I am not so timid when it comes to clicking the stuff displayed by street vendors on the road. Sometimes when I click a picture they ask me to click one of them as well. I will start with apple and oranges. I was…
A Missed Approach at Delhi Airport
We were flying back from Bangalore to Delhi today. When the flight started boarding on time at Bangalore we assumed that the fog was bearable at Delhi. My daughter and I slept through most of the flight. I didn’t even drink my customary tea on the Indigo flight. To put the record straight I do not…
May We All Travel More and Safe in 2013
Wishing you all a very peaceful 2013. My country certainly needs it. But wherever you are may you travel safe and even more in 2013. May you travel far and near. And may you travel more with your near and dear ones as well throughout 2013.
It was a Fabulous Year
It has been a fabulous year for me personally. I really went places. You can read the round up here (scroll down to the third account but chances that you will read it all!) I would remember it as an year when I managed to haul myself up to the Everest Base Camp. Then I…
Alive is Awesome- With an iPad
Do you remember some of the posts that I did for Cinthol’s Alive is Awesome contest? There were some prizes associated with it. I was extremely reluctant in the beginning but the person who was in charge of the contest was one persuasive person. Once I committed I did all the posts that were required. And…
The Sky in a Puddle!
Recently I was at Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. And I had a lot of fun clicking the mountains in a rain water puddle at the bus stand. I know the roads should not have this big holes but this is a daily sight for me, minus the reflection of the Dhauladhar Mountains. For more skies…
That Aimless Walk at Palampur
The day I arrived at Palampur my hosts at the Holiday Home Hotel (it is a home based hotel) asked me, “so what would you do today”? And I told them “nothing” as I was way too tired. True to the form after breakfast I went to sleep, the effect of Avomine was still taking…
