Time goes by so quickly, it feels like not so long ago when I was writing my new year post. And the first quarter of the 2015 is already over. It has been very mixed 3 months for me. The months have been more painful for the number of trips I ended up saying say no…

Camping by the River Ganges with Chhavi
‘Whenever I am asked, “How was your vacation?” I have a fixed reply, “Holidays are always good.” But camping by the Ganges with Chhavi was better than good! We were staying at the MHE Beach Camp. As the kid is still small she was underage for rafting. So, the number one attraction on the Ganges was…
The Evening Sky
I quite enjoy doing the sky watch posts. I was thinking about what to post yesterday and I realized there was no sky pictures left that were worth posting from my previous trips. At times like these I rummage my old folders quite thoroughly and I usually find something. But today I picked up my…
Ramada Plaza Menam Riverside, Bangkok
Staying by the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok is a beautiful thing to do. I have had that opportunity when I stayed with Ramada Plaza Menam Riverside. Most of the expensive and iconic hotels are by the side of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. Ramada Plaza Menam Riverside is a five star property. I had…

Slow Down
They say one of the best advices in photography is to ‘slow down’. I somehow feel it is an advice that I would do well to heed in life as well. It is one of those days when everything feels just like a mad rush. But then I will restrict myself to photography thoughts only….
Amari Hua Hin, Thailand
When I went to Hua Hin (Thailand) I stayed at Amari Hua Hin. Even though it has been a while since the trip, I still remember the place fondly. We had already been in Bangkok for a few nights and I somehow managed to tire out myself completely. So when I saw the façade of…
Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace, Phetchaburi, Thailand
I could feel that I was in a palace complex just by looking at the souvenir shops and the cable car lobby. On my, let me count, the third trip to Thailand (and which was not the last) I visited the Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace in Phetchaburi. The palace was the last stop on this trip. As…
Spring is in the Air!
By the sheer numbers of flowers that I see around me I can safely declare that spring is in the air. But this time it is a strange spring. Monsoon has got mixed with it somehow. I have never seen so much rains in March in recent times. At one point many flowers bowed down…
