You would hardly ever see me talking about anything but travel on this blog. I make exception for books but that is about it! So when I was contacted by Dear Earth about their range of soaps, face wash and other such products I was not very sure what I wanted to do. Then I…

Ways to Kill Time at Airports
I quite enjoy being at airports. Given the traffic situation in many places like Bengluru, NCR etc. I like to arrive early rather than risk missing my flight. In other countries that I visit, because of unfamiliarity with the immigration norms I try to reach before time. But the best was when we were in…
Shopping in Thailand
I am one of those people who firmly believe in that when you don’t shop at 50% off, you save 100% of the money. I can’t think when I last wrote, if ever, about shopping on this blog. But this recent trip to Thailand changed my views a bit. In fact before heading out my…

Chitra's Jewel Art- I am a Fan!
I started interacting with Chitra over her other blog, about temples. Then one day we connected on Facebook and then I discovered Chitra’s Jewel Art. I have to admit I am not very fond of jewelery. But earrings are an exception. And I just way to lazy to go out and shop as well. So I…

I don’t know how they make them this ultra smooth? I actually clicked this shop because the evening light was falling…

Tintin in Tibet
Tintin in Tibet Bags for Sale in Mcleod Ganj Mcleod Ganj streets are full of souvenirs and colorful ones at that. What I drool most at are the earrings of all size and shapes (that is one piece of jewellery I use almost on a daily basis) but then I am content with just taking…
French and Czech Signs in Agra Shops
The Last Print Out (Right Bottom) in English Saved me! A Shop at Sadar Bazaar, Agra. If you know any of the languages in the picture above, do drop a comment. This restaurant also sold South-Indian food near the south gate of the Taj Mahal Agra apart from whatever they are selling from this board….
Lac Jewellery from Jaipur
Lac Earrings from Jaipur, Rajasthan I use ornaments sparingly. But I have to admit I am quite fond of earrings and can wear quite big ones that resemble chandeliers! And there is no place like Jaipur to shop for jewellery. I bought all the stuff in the picture from Jaipur (but not in this trip…
