When I started blogging, in 2005, there was no Twitter, there was no Instagram. I resisted Facebook or a long time. Let me be honest, for a long time I was not one of those who would jump at a new platform. I have still not tried Snapchat. I just opened Reddit before I typed…

#HarPalHappiness with ASUS
The festive season is here, Diwali is just round the corner. It is almost synonymous with shopping, bonus, gifting, lights and sweets! The hot summer is the thing of past and the bitter cold is still not here. In other words, awesomeness is all around! We are a family where at any given time there…
Travel during Pooja Holidays
I love the idea of travel but I dread it when I find out that everyone else is going to do it at the same time. And that time has to be the holiday time, the nearest one being the Pooja Holidays. Now it makes life easy if you wish to travel at a time…
Kota Kinabalu City, Malaysia in Pictures
I will always associate Kota Kinabalu with rains, OK may be not always, but surely till the next trip. Due to the rains we could not go island hopping on our schedule. But that gave us half a day to explore the landmarks of the city which was fun. In this post I show you…
Everest Movie Review
It may surprise you a little that I am doing the Everest movie review. I watch movies infrequently and I hardly ever ‘review’ them, if I may call my random writing a review. But Everest is based on the tragedy that occurred on the mountain in 1996. And much before the movie was made I…
Food Walk in Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi with Delhipedia
In spite of living for a long time in NCR I have hardly explored Old Delhi. So when I saw an invitation from Delhipedia for a food walk in Chandni Chowk I accepted it without hesitation. It was an afternoon walk. I was so excited about it that I didn’t even consider the weather. But…
ASUS Zenfone 2
There is a special reason why I am excited by the launch of ASUS Zenfone 2 even though I rarely wax eloquent about gadgets. ASUS Zenfone is the first smartphone that my father used and he is still using it. And he is 70 plus. Initially he resisted smartphones with all his might. So we…
Uncancel by Make My Trip
We who love to travel, would never cancel a trip. But sometimes life just intervenes. I remember I had to cancel my trip to Bhutan because of a minor surgery of my husband. How I wish Uncancel by Make My Trip was around at that point of time! I got to know about it recently…
Barnawapara Wildlife Sanctuary, Chhattisgarh
The MD of Chhattisgarh Tourism, Mr. Santosh Misra described Barnawapara Wildlife Sanctuary ‘as a state of mind.’ I entirely agree with him. I would add that it makes for a very pleasant state of mind! I got to see Barnawapara as a day trip which is a highly unsatisfactory way to see it. I would…
To Make a List or Not of Must See Destinations
I was firmly in the camp of not making list of the places I really want to see. The problem was I wish to see almost all the places in the world! I have anyway no control over who likes my blog and invites me! South Africa was not even on my radar and yet…
