Good food but Average Service at Sultan Saray Restaurant Ajman

Posted on February 10, 2017May 7, 2025

I hopped over to Ajman on a whim, from my trip to Sharjah. It was my free day, and after a lot of confusion (self-created) I eventually stumbled over to Ajman. The choice was a bit of convenience and a bit of serendipity. Sultan Saray was my lunch stop. I will get to it in…

Flying Economy with Singapore Airlines to Philippines and Indonesia

Posted on November 25, 2016October 20, 2017

My first trip with Singapore Airlines was a FAM in the business class. The aircraft was A380. After that I was a little unsure about flying economy with them. I took multiple flights with them recently. I flew Delhi-Singapore-Manila and back in October. It was followed by Delhi-Singapore-Jakarta. On the same trip I flew back…

Everest

Everest Movie Review

Posted on September 21, 2015

It may surprise you a little that I am doing the Everest movie review. I watch movies infrequently and I hardly ever ‘review’ them, if I may call my random writing a review. But Everest is based on the tragedy that occurred on the mountain in 1996. And much before the movie was made I…

Palladium Hotel Mumbai

Posted on March 2, 2015April 12, 2021

I recently stayed for one night at the Palladium Hotel, Mumbai (Now St. Regis) I was attending 2015 Discover Thainess an event which was held at the hotel itself. The rooms were booked for us by the Tourism Authority of Thailand. We were greeted by the staff at the ground floor. As most of us had very little…

Sony Xperia Z3- First Impressions

Posted on October 13, 2014April 17, 2021

My new phone is a Sony Xperia Z3. It took me a while to start using it as it would take a nano sim whereas I had a micro sim. But that is sorted now through the collective wisdom of my friends on Facebook. So here is what I have to say about the phone….

Ikea the Book- Designers, Products and Other Stuff

Posted on October 4, 2014April 18, 2021

Before talking about IKEA the Book: Designers, Products and Other Stuff, let me give you an idea about where I am coming from. Last month a prominent Indian apparel firm wanted to feature me on one of their social media channels. They wanted a full length picture of mine in a style that was me….

Dress Code for Women in Hong Kong

The Royal View Hotel, Hong Kong

Posted on August 27, 2014April 20, 2021

I usually don’t bother much about hotels when I travel alone or if we are all adults. But with two kids in Hong Kong I was worried about everything. More so when both are brats and I was the only adult on the trip. I was going with Makemytrip and they booked me with the Royal…

The New Travel Companion

Posted on July 2, 2014April 22, 2021

I love to travel, be it with extended family, solo or on sponsored trips. However there are three constant companions that go on every trip with me, my camera, my cell phone and my laptop. I like my camera and my cell phone quite a lot. But I could not say the same for the…

Remembrance of Fading Dreams- A Book by Anurag Kumar

Posted on August 17, 2013May 11, 2021

As I had read Recalcitrance the prequel to Remembrance, it is logical that I read the second book too. The backdrop of the first book is the revolt of 1857 in Lucknow and Remembrance picks up right from where Recalcitrance left. The revolt of 1857 has been crushed and the people are now trying to…

The Beautiful Mountains at Fagu, Himachal Pradesh, India

The Naked Mountain- By Reinhold Messner

Posted on November 29, 2012April 21, 2025

The Naked Mountain is the account of the ascent and tragedy on the Nanga Parbat in Pakistan. I am aware there are other accounts of the same expedition but Rehinold Messner’s account is the only one I have read. The expedition was full of controversy and ended in almost a double tragedy. The Rupal Face…
