And before you wonder what did I do to get involved with police in Malaysia let me set the record straight. When I was there for Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012, we were traveling in a 30 car convoy and covering more than 1000 kilometers. The police escort was to keep us together and safe and probably others…

My Malaysia Photo Feature now on Rediff Getahead
A photo feature of my Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012 shots is now up on the Rediff Getahead. I am also at the end of my Malaysia pictures. So it is almost time to travel again. Let us see when and where. Nothing fixed as of now.
Rainy Days from Malaysia
For today’s skywatch I present two rainy day pictures from Malaysia. Of late I have developed a penchant to click pictures through car/bus windows when it is raining outside. That way sometimes I get interesting pictures! If you search for Sultan Abdul Samad Mosque, Sepang, Malaysia on the net, you will find that it is…
Cycling at Putrajaya, Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012
Guess what did we do after driving at the Sepang International Circuit? We went cycling at Putrajaya in Malaysia. It had been ages since I went cycling and I was wondering if I would be able to cycle again! But I did fine. Cycling is one activity that everyone can identify with, the bruises sustained…
Fraser’s Hill, Pahang, Malaysia
I have to admit I am spoiled when it comes to the mountains. After all one of the perks of staying in Delhi/Gurgaon is that you can travel overnight and be in the Himalayas. So when I realized that Fraser’s Hill (in Pahang, Malaysia) is 1524 meters (5000 feet) in altitude I was quite ambivalent about it. It…

You can see three Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012 participants joining the locals. The gentleman who started it all was from Japan and he was quite popular with…
Food from the Central Market, Terengganu, Malaysia
No trip to Malaysia is complete without a discussion about food. If you like fish and sea food it is going to be a paradise for you. I am a vegetarian though but still there was plenty for me too. Malaysian food is flavorful and actually quite delicious. Rice and noodles are staples so no…
The Spirit of Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012
Even though Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012 was suppose to be competitive, I thought the participants were really cool and their lust for travel was much more dominant than any competition. We all ran around hunting for clues in our teams but we had so much fun together! The gentleman in the orange in the picture…
Anything for a Good Picture
I used to think that I am a bit crazy when I would indulge in some stunts to click a few pictures. But I had a lot of company at the Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012. Here is a photographer from Taiwan giving gentle directions to the group about how she wants them to stand. She…
