It took me three visits to Oxford before I could go punting! When I saw those punt boats for the first time just ahead of the Oxford City Center on the Magdalen River, I wanted to try it. After all, who would not be tempted to view the historic Oxford buildings while gliding through the…

What is Your Travel Blogging Niche?
What if someone asked you the same question- what is your travel blogging niche? Do you have an answer? I have to admit I was pretty stumped when this question was put to me! But since then I have been thinking. I started this blog just to talk about my own trips. There was…
Beauties on the Roads of Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia
When I say beauties on the roads of Kuala Terengganu in Malaysia I mean the modes of transport! When I spotted this bus first I was too far away to click a picture. It is the Heritage City Shuttle Town Bus in Kuala Terengganu in Malaysia. But the next day I saw it on the…
Spot Billed Ducks at Hauz Khas, Delhi
I have to admit I was crazy about bird photography once. I bought a macro lens (75-300 mm) thinking I would click flowers. After I got the Macro I started chasing the birds instead. I did it for a long time. But I would never be too happy with my pictures barring a few. And I always…
Kuala Terengganu’s Blue and Beautiful Skies
I loved the time I spent at Kuala Terengganu and Redang. We took a ferry from Jetty Shahbandar at Kuala Terengganu to go to the Redang Island. Before that we also spent a lot of time around the central market area. The sun was high but a bit diffused due to the clouds. But I…
Cliff Jumping- Now Why did I do That?
When I showed this picture to a friend, he asked, “So did you go down screaming?” To my “no” he added, “I would, because what if that was the last thing I did in life!” I had no such thoughts when I took off that ledge. But the question remains, why did I do it?…
Hotspots for Birding in Malaysia
Update: The links in this post became outdated to I had to take it out. Please enjoy my new blog posts. I often say I became interested in birds only after I acquired my zoom lens. Then I could bring the birds closer and ask my more knowledge friends to identify them for me. And…
Snorkeling at Redang Island, Malaysia
In May 2012 CNNGo included Redang Island (or Pulau Redang as it is known locally) in Malaysia’ top 10 islands. And it entirely lived up to its reputation when I got a chance to visit it in September 2012! When I stepped out to the beach adjacent to my hotel, this was the view that greeted me. It was…
Hauz Khas, Delhi- Really Khas!
When I started looking at my pictures from my yesterday’s visit to Hauz Khas, my intention was to do one post. I realized it would be one very long post if I posted even the pictures I thought have come out well. I have to admit I have hardly explored Delhi at all. Yesterday too,…
Sunset at Hauz Khas, Delhi
I went to Hauz Khas to meet fellow bloggers Mariellen Ward, Digant and Priyanka. We meet at Naivedyam at Kauz Khas. And later we dropped into Kunzum Cafe too which is run by Ajay Jain. The idea was to talk about Delhi Travel Massive and how to go about organizing it. I have to admit…
