Chhavi and I are back from Deoria Tal. It was one roller coaster ride from here to Deoria Tal and back. Traveling with a child makes it all the more fun and unpredictable. There are a lot of dos and don’t for my travels. A child makes them go haywire without even trying! Traveling with…
The Bansagar Catchment Area
While traveling from Panna to Bandhavgarh in Madhya Pradesh, I crossed the Bansagar catchment area. This year the rain has been in abundance in India so the catchment area was full of water. It was a beautiful sight to behold. Bridge over Bansagar Catchment Area At the start of the bridge too the scenery was…

Cows on the Road- Panna to Bandhavgarh, MP, India
I recently visited Panna and Bandhavgarh in MP. These days as soon as I sit in a car I fall asleep. But the previous night I retired early (read no internet in the room) and I woke up quite fresh. Hence I was not falling asleep in the car. It was difficult to pass time,…

The Road Trip- Poipet Siem Reap
