You must have heard this one- travel will set you free. My sincere feeling is that this was written before jet planes were invented or by a person who never had to travel economy! Sit in a plane that takes off at some obscene hour in a cramped seat to arrive at the other side…
Immigration Fun at the Amman International Airport, Jordan
Immigration and fun are almost an oxymoron, at least in most of the places I visited. But Jordan changed all that, I can now say immigration fun in the same sentence. While going into Jordan. it was almost the same as anywhere else, getting out of Jordan was fun. But then first things first. I…
Wonderful Shopping Experiences in Thailand
I am one of those people who firmly believe in that when you don’t shop at 50% off, you save 100% of the money. I can’t think when I last wrote, if ever, about shopping on this blog. But this recent trip to Thailand changed my views a bit. In fact before heading out my…

The Much Needed Dust Storm in Gurgaon
I first got the inkling of the heat wave in Delhi/Gurgaon/NCR when I was in Thailand. 42 degree Celsius itself gave me shivers. Then I read about 48 degrees, all the while when I was in a cool 22 degrees in the Khao Yai region of Thailand. I also knew that a dust storm in…
The Complete Report of my Beautiful Jordan Trip
When the plane started making its descent at the Queen Alia International Airport, Amman, Jordan I was hooked to my window seat. If someone could have seen me from the other side, they would find my face quashed flat against the window. The landscape unfolding beneath was unlike any other I had seen ever before!…
Traveling through Amazing Thailand!
The invitation from Tourism Authority of Thailand came quite close to the actual trip. I have piles of work on my table to finish if I wanted to make that trip. I managed to finish every bit of it as the motivation was great, if I completed everything I would get to enjoy the Amazing…
Greetings from Thailand Post Military Coup
When I told my father that I was traveling to Thailand, to put it mildly, he was not too thrilled. After all we read that there was a military coup in Thailand and it must not be safe. But as the invitation was from Tourism Authority of Thailand to attend Thailand Travel Mart I was…
