I always had Hampi on my list of places to visit, but it took me many, many years to actually make it happen. And as another friend is planning a trip here, I decided to take this opportunity to write about my experience of one of the most beautiful places in Karnataka. The weather is …

My first trip to Nice was in 2012 March. But that was for work, and we were staying in Nice and going to Monaco every day to work. So believe it or not, while we did manage to see Cannes, the Grand Prix track, we hardly got to enjoy the French Riviera. And I wanted …
I am not an early riser as most of my friends know. But many years ago, I realized – sleep is something I should save for my bed at home. And I find this principle to come in very handy in short trips such as this. The next day, continuing from my previous post, we …
What’s happier than an impromptu trip? Nothing, really! So when a friend was getting married in a town close to Visakhapatnam, a few of us packed our bags, bought super expensive tickets on Indigo (the price plummeted soon after much to our chagrin.) We reached Vizag late one Wednesday. The airport is extremely basic, bathroom …
I have been gone for a while, and it’s not that I’ve not been writing. But food suddenly became such an important aspect of my writing that everything else ended up in a back seat. But a loyalist to travel as always, I have returned! The most fantastic and exciting thing for a food lover …

Iguaçu Falls is one of the new 7 wonders of the world, with the longest drop of 82 metres, and a width of almost 3km. During my visit to Sao Paulo, my friends/colleagues were heading to this waterfall, Cataratas (in Portugese), and I was the last minute addition to this plan!
During my trip to Slovenia, I met some wonderful people, learnt about a culture that I had only read in text books, the Baha’I, explored the city in such a different way that I can only wait to go back there again. Thanks Badii, Aleksandra and your very cute kids for your time and hospitability. And Gloria for being such a wonderful and fun companion during my trip.
I had decided places where I have no time to explore, I will eat and try to compensate for lack of being a tourist! And my visit to Jordan’s capital Amman becomes a perfect case study, because I am certain I gorged here more than what I normally would in a MONTH! And my visit …
