When it comes to sense of direction I rank really low. I heavily use Google Maps to find my way around, at least for the last two years now. Before going to England I went on a sponsored trip with Google Maps in India. I learned many few useful tips and tricks there. I was looking…
Plaza Premium Lounge for Any Ticket on Any Airline at T3
I have limited experience of airport lounges. I anyway like to walk around airports. If it is a smaller airport I actually try to walk every inch of it. But when I am travel weary lounges do sound like a great idea. I thought the only way to get a lounge access was to fly…
Will it be Singapore Again in 2016?
Photo Credit R.A.R. de Bruijn Holding BV on Shutterstock There are many places in this world that have such fond memories for me. Ladakh is special because my first blog post (in 2005) was about it.

An Unforgettable Journey to Eastern Sri Lanka
I got only a fleeting glimpse, much of it from a moving bus, but it has been an unforgettable journey to Eastern Sri Lanka.

My First Ever Cruise Experience with the Harmony of the Seas
Harmony of the Seas was my first ever cruise experience. When I said this to the commander of the ship Captain Gus Andersson he replied, “well from here on it will be all downhill for you!” And we both laughed because the Harmony of the Seas is currently the biggest cruise ship in the world!…
Goa- Hotels or Service Apartments for You Stay?
Everyone goes to Goa for one reason or the other! I have been there a few times myself! I personally prefer South over North Goa. And you guessed it right, I prefer peace and quiet over party! Goa tourism manages to be in news constantly! If the tourism is high it gets written about, and vice…
