I have said this many times before and I will say it again, I love window seats on a plane. I love them more if I know I will catch a sunrise or a sunset during my flight. I also usually take a seat from where I know I would get a wing shot from…
Petrified of Street Photography? So am I!
I am truly petrified of street photography. It feels like a daunting task to point my camera at a stranger’s face and click. I know, I know in India not too many people mind, but I just completely freeze most of the time. And yet I was fascinated by it too. I would keep reading…
The Bumpy Ride from Beshishehar to Sangey, Nepal
These days as I have started playing around with videos I am looking at my old folders as well. I remember this bumpy ride from Beshishehar to Sangey really well. It required a strong back, it was that bumpy. Sangey could be one of the starting points of Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal. Many people feel…
Wingpod Purslane or Portulaca
It is such a common flower in India I never thought it would have this complicated name- Wingpod Purslane! The flower is also known as Portulaca. The images below were clicked at the Taling Chan Floating Market in Bangkok though. The market is situated on the Chao Phraya River. You can easily hire a long…
The Smiling Faces of Bayon- The Center of Angkor Thom, Camboida
Out of nowhere the rain started falling heavily as we were nearing Angkor. My heart sank, I have had way too much of rain on many of my trips this year. I was left wondering if I would see Angkor in pouring rain! It was not what I wanted. Heavy rains mean the camera stays…
Sunrise at Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia
After strolling through the Pub Street and the Night Market I managed to hit the bed by mid night. When the alarm went at 4.30 am the next day in spite of being disoriented I did not want to fling the cell phone against the wall. You see, I was going to watch the sunrise…
Food Tales from Thailand and Cambodia
I have lived in hostels for close to 12 years and mess food killed all my taste buds. However it has been 11 years since I left hostel and I am regaining some interest in food. Mind you just a little, so don’t expect much out of this post. I am now going to talk…
Where Lotus Grew Like Weed
What do you do when you see pretty flowers on your dining table? When I saw the bunch that is featuring below we started a discussion, whether the lotus flowers were real or not! I mean have you seen a lotus flower arrangement like this before? I had not, for sure. My first question to…
Walking on Stilts in Thailand- A Video
We visited the Puan village- Ban Dong Krathong Yam in interior Thailand. It was a peaceful village with a stunning temple and a large community hall. The people were hospitable and hosted us for sumptuous lunch. They also put on an excellent cultural show for us with the ASEAN theme. However the activity that provided…
The Pub Street and the Night Market, Siem Reap, Cambodia
After the glittering dance performance (about which you can read here) at Siem Reap we were dropped back to our hotel, Sokha Angkor Resort which is a mighty fine hotel. It was surely not beyond 9.00 pm. We had just one night at Siem Reap so we wanted to cram in as much as we…
