It has been that kind of a year that we are going to remember for a very long time. 2020 has been no ordinary year, it is ‘shake the foundations, change the paradigms’ kind of a year that I hope the universe is in no hurry to repeat. We all have been in it together,…

Offbeat Tourist Places in Bhuj- Ramkund Stepwell
Ramkund is a well preserved stepwell or ‘baori’ in Bhuj, Gujarat that is a little off the beaten path. I have been to Bhuj a few times and in 2019 I was willing to move away from the well known places like Aina Mahal and the Kutch Museum. I visited Gujarat in 2019 on an…
Postcards from Hanoi, Vietnam
I visited Vietnam in the October of 2019 on a blogging trip with IndiGo when they launched their inaugural flight from Kolkata to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This trip happened pre-covid. If I have learned one thing in 2020, it is not to take travel for granted. In today’s post I show you some…

Postcards from Ho Chi Minh City
Blogging has truly taken a back seat for me even though I did travel a fare bit in 2019! I am not even sure how much I can travel in 2020! January started on a bright note as I visited Sri Lanka but I end up saying no to a lot of trips these days….
Aahana Resort at Jim Corbett
I visited Aahana Resort in Ramnagar in November. That was the time when pollution in Delhi/NCR was going off the charts! I was happy to leave the city behind! Ramnagar is a small town, the getaway to Jim Corbett National Park! The air was anyway a thousand times better than Gurgaon, on top of that…
