When I visited Finland with Nokia not only I managed to see a new country I got a new phone too. The company gave me a Lumia 1020. I have now used it for more than a month and I really love it. To begin with it is a 41 megapixel camera. Even my DSLR…
Lack of Sleep, Hallucinations and What Not!
Most of my trips are short, that is the only way I can travel a lot with a full time job. The day I come back, usually the very next day I am at work. If I arrive at 1.00 am in the morning, I am at work by 9.30 am. If I arrive at…
Baby Bull in a Bone China Shop or Cafe 88 with Chhavi
When Cafe 88 said I was welcome to bring along Chhavi for an afternoon lunch to which I was invited, I guess both the parties didn’t know what we were signing in for. If I have to go to Delhi I usually take the metro. With Chhavi after two stations I start counting how many…
Maldives Nostalgia
Looking at my Maldives pictures leaves me with such deep nostalgia. Not looking at them also induces it! If I could run back to Maafushi, I would do so right this moment. This time I will go with a underwater casing for my mobile phone and I will not fall sick when I come back!…
Tracking a Tiger
Have you ever wondered how do they go about tracking a tiger? We were sitting in a jeep deep inside the zone 5 of Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan. This was the zone where in the morning two tiger cubs had been spotted. Above the noise of the the Gypsy I couldn’t hear a thing. Suddenly the…
There is More to the Jungle than Just Tiger

Conversations in the Jungle, #Saveourtigers Trip with Aircel
When the good folks at Aircel asked if I enjoyed their Save Our Tigers trip to Ranthambore, I told them it should have been obvious to them by my happy state. They then asked what did I like? To me the most valuable part of this trip was the conversations I was privileged to be…
Dude Called me Auntie
I just came back from a trip to Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan. The trip was sponsored by the Aircel’s #saveourtigers initiative. And it was there that a dude called me auntie! Let me tell you the whole story along with the video! In the Indian national parks at most of the places you cannot…
Maldives on Budget
I always had the impression, along with some of my friends who like to travel, that Maldives was an incredibly expensive destination. Then I chanced across Svetlana’s Maldives posts on a budget. That was a complete blessing, as it showed me that Maldives on budget was possible. Now, that I have done the trip here…
Fihalhohi Island Resort, Maldives
We opted to go to the Fihalhohi Island Resort, Maldives because it was easier on the pocket. We were actually staying on Maafushi, which is a budget island. The excursions were available to both Anantara and Taj Exotica but it was so expensive for me. Most of the islands take day guests. So, the population…
