I attended the gala dinner at the MITBCA tonight. They were giving away the best Malaysian travel blog awards tonight as well. But I will share a few images from the cultural show that I got to see. I was fascinated by these beautiful ladies standing at the reception in their beautiful attire. They were…

Travel in Time of Covid19
As I start typing away, my mind wanders, was ‘Travel or lack of it in time of Covid19’ a better title? But then I go ahead and keep typing. I hardly write anything these days, I hardly travel too! Growing up in a small town, Gorakhpur, UP in the 1970s and the 80s travel was…
Going Places- Part II
As the pandemic has brought my travels to a complete halt since March 2020 I am using this time to reminisce about my past travels. I am doing this via Instagram Reels primarily but the blog gives me more freedom to write and I don’t need to worry about hashtags here! You can find the…
The Zip Rider at the Bobrovy Log Fun Park, Krasnoyarsk
I have a love/fear relationship with adventure. Before the adventure begins I fear it a little (OK sometimes a lot) but I love it after I am done with it. But the zip line or the zip rider is one activity I can approach without fear for the simple reason that I have done it…
SATTE Musings
I first attended SATTE in 2013! Gosh how time passes by! I attended it again in 2014 and 2016. In 2015 I was out of town. So what is SATTE? It is a leading trade event for tourism. In 2017 35 countries and 28 tourism boards participated in the event. The next logical question is…

London and Oxford are special because I used to go there repeatedly for work. Thailand is special because it is…
The Top Ten Posts for 2015
While selecting posts, I was sorely tempted to increase the count to 15 but in the end I restricted the top ten posts for 2015 to 10 only. And whatever may be my confusions at the moment in my life, I did feel blessed while drawing it. I wish I could draw from 10 to…
My 10 Best Travel Photos from 2015
It is December, it is time to go down the memory lane. And pictures come first. I actually scrolled through each of the outstation trip I took this year to pick up my 10 best travel photos from 2015. What surprised me was that some trips yield a lot of good pictures (Spiti readily comes…
What Nickname You will Choose if You got Another Chance
On more than one international trips I have been acutely aware of the spelling of my name. It is Mridula Dwivedi. People get thoroughly stuck at Mr itself, we have never reached at the Dw bit ever! I have been nicknamed twice already. Hence the question- what nickname you will choose if you got another chance?…
