This was the scene just behind my hotel at Havelock. It was Sea Shell Resort where we stayed and even though it feels like a very short trip, particularly the Havelock part, it was incredibly beautiful.
Red Cheeked Bulbul at Ross Island, Port Blair
I clicked this red cheeked bulbul at Ross Island, Port Blair. Port Blair is full of them. I heard from our guide at the Cellular Jail that when Vir Savarkar was serving his time there, he remarked that it was the song of the bulbuls that gave him solace. Now we can go inside the jail…
Skywatch Friday- Wandoor Beach, Port Blair, Andaman Islands
This was a beautiful evening from my recent vacation at Andaman Islands. The beach is called the Wandoor Beach. The good part is that they do not allow any vendors at the beach, hence they are spotlessly clean, unlike other places in India. For more beautiful skies from around the world please visit the…
My First Ever Scuba Dive at Havelock
How do you put in words the experience of my first scuba dive at Havelock? I don’t know how but I am still going to try. I spent a week in Port Blair and Havelock. I came back to reality just yesterday. I had more nights at Port Blair and less at Havelock but that…
Back from Andamans
There are two highlights of the trip. Did Scuba Diving for the first time and I can’t stop grinning. Then I got up at sunrise to take a few pics along the sea shore. Tripped with my DSLR, new 70-300 lens and cell phone. All are non-functional now. But it was an amazing trip.
When do you pack if you are about to travel?
The bags are not yet fully packed but I am off to Andaman soon. I used to have this Lighthouse Lands’ End Luggage before but it got spoiled, it was a gift to me by the company. They had assured me that if it ever got spoiled they would replace it. And good to…

Sis Ganj Gurdwara, Chandni Chowk, Delhi
Sis Ganj Gurdwara, Chandni Chowk, Delhi I had been to Chandni Chowk sometime in June this year. I went there to get my camera sensor cleaned. It took them quite sometime to do so. While I was waiting I saw a variety of street food on display and people enjoying it. It is a pity…
Hari Mirch ki Pakori
I am not too fond of Chilli. The food in the picture is Green Chillies dipped in Gram Flour Paste and deep fried. I have to say that this time I was content only by clicking a picture. But in my student days I have tried a few, in Rajasthan that too, where the…
Attar (Ittar) Bottles from Mussoorie
I saw this display of Ittar (oil based perfume) at the Mall Road, Mussoorie. The shop owner was engaged in a conversation with a buyer and I got a few moments to click the picture. Wikipedia has an interesting article on natural perfumes. I am not a big fan of perfumes but had another…
