I have to admit I was surprised at SATTE (at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi) in a very pleasant way! I was spending some time at the Malaysia Tourism stall when a gentleman called me and said hello and then added, you stayed at our resort at Bukit Gambang. I was completely floored. I have been there…

Engaging with Batik at Noor Arfa, Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia
Call me challenged when it comes to crafts and arts. The only skill I have shown ever in a creative endeavor is with my camera and thank god for small mercies! So I had quite mixed feelings when I got to know that we were visiting the Noor Arfa Batik Complex at Kuala Terengganu. The building itself…
The Taaras Beach and Spa Resort, Redang, Malaysia
Have you ever wondered a month or so after a trip that your memories slightly alter? I usually rewind my trips through my pictures. But after a month or so some memories fade out. And at other times I wonder why I did not talk about certain other events in the first place! I stayed…
Shades of Blue
Whenever I look at this picture I get mesmerized by the shades of blue! I tried counting them all but then I gave up! The place is Redang Island, in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia.
Beauties on the Roads of Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia
When I say beauties on the roads of Kuala Terengganu in Malaysia I mean the modes of transport! When I spotted this bus first I was too far away to click a picture. It is the Heritage City Shuttle Town Bus in Kuala Terengganu in Malaysia. But the next day I saw it on the…
Kuala Terengganu’s Blue and Beautiful Skies
I loved the time I spent at Kuala Terengganu and Redang. We took a ferry from Jetty Shahbandar at Kuala Terengganu to go to the Redang Island. Before that we also spent a lot of time around the central market area. The sun was high but a bit diffused due to the clouds. But I…
Hotspots for Birding in Malaysia
Update: The links in this post became outdated to I had to take it out. Please enjoy my new blog posts. I often say I became interested in birds only after I acquired my zoom lens. Then I could bring the birds closer and ask my more knowledge friends to identify them for me. And…
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 Dancers from Malaysia
On both my trips to Malaysia I have had the pleasure of watching many dance performances. I do not understand the language but the costumes are really colorful, the movements graceful and the music upbeat. This was the first performance on the Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012 trip. The group was actually much bigger but I…
Redang Island, Malaysia- As Good as it Gets!
I don’t know where to start about my trip to the Redang Island! I had a short stay (I am sure a stay of any length will feel short) at the island and I have left behind a piece of my heart there! It was so captivating. Our hotel the Taaras Beach and Spa Resort…
