Remember this picture? Now go to this BBC link and pay special attention to picture number 3. After trying and trying this is my first picture featured at BBC. Why I sent this one? Because when I first put it on my blog a lot of you appreciated it and Maverick even wanted to steal…
Not My Daily Conversation
We were having dinner sitting on a flat rock near a fire on the first night of Kuari Pass trek. I wish I could say there were a million stars in the sky but almost every day by afternoon, clouds would come, cover everything and would not lift till sunrise again. Still, we were a…
Kuari Pass Trek, Uttarakhand Himalayas, India
We decided to trek through Kuari Pass, in Uttranchal Himalayas and the journey started from New Delhi. It was raining for the most of the journey and when we reached Rishikesh at 12 midnight, it was still raining. I was quite disappointed and I started bugging my husband that maybe we will not be able…
Travel on My Mind
Some of the comments on my last post made me think hard (I guess I read constantly to avoid thinking but I am not 100% sure as of now 🙂 and motivated me to write this post. First Prashanth said: I have decided to travel atleast once a month – kinda mid-year resolution ; Now…
Traveling by the State Transport Buses in India
I will give you an account of what happens when you travel by a state transport bus to a hill station in the Himalayas. This is an account of our return journey Chamba to Pathankot (we actually went all the way to Bharmour). To begin with, on our return journey too we had a few…
Traffic Jam: On the Way to Office
I started fresh in the morning for work. As I put the songs of Arth (an old Hindi movie’s songs) in the music system, Jagjit Singh crooned ‘tum itna jo muskura rahe ho, kya gam kai jisko chupa rahe ho’ (very difficult to translate this one in English, so I let it go). I hummed…
Rajdhani Hotel, Bharmour, Himanchal Pradesh, India
It has been such a long time since I traveled anywhere. My last trip was to Bharatpur this January and before that to Bharmour in December 2005. Nothing seems possible before June now. Before I travel next, what I want to tell is the tale of a hotel from Bharmour. When we arrived in Bharmour…
Boarding a Metro
I was waiting at a crowded metro station for the train to come. It was hot and sultry, my shirt was sticking to my back. I was dreading the jostle that would follow the arrival of the metro. My companion was oblivious; she seemed not to have a care in the world. The crowd did…
Tagged by JB: My Very Own List
I have stayed away from tags till date. Due to some unexplored and unexplained fear, tags tend to scare me. But when I saw JB tagging her entire blogroll, I decided to play along. What attracted me is the freedom to make my own list. Here is my list of five things that have changed…
Mall in Gurgaon, Inside-Outsite or How Far a Hundered Rupee Note will Go II
Yesterday, I headed toward Sahara Mall to pick my laptop that I had given for repair ages ago. When I drive alone, I always listed to FM. It is full of Valentine’s Day stuff these days. Some poor soul from somewhere called the RJ and said he would be alone on V Day, as he…
