“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” For months now, we’ve spent our time basking in the comfort of our motherland! Our journey has been – from the land of glittery temples, Chennai (lovingly, Madras) […]

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places…” ~ Roald Dahl A smooth drive of 300km from Bangalore led us to the district of Chikmagalur, locally known as Chikkamagaluru, set in the foothills of […]

The Land of Coffee – Chikmagalur, Karnataka, India

Port Blair As the flight from Chennai landed in the island’s archipelago, immediately, a pleasant radiance emanated. We checked into a cozy B&B, Andaman Galley, a few minutes from the airport. Our only agenda was beach food at Corbyn’s Cove, a curvy coastline with palms in the background, jet skiers […]

It was at the first light of dawn that we arrived in a quiet town surrounded by the “blue mountains”, 2000m above sea level, Coonoor. Amidst the touch of winter in the wind, we checked into MGM Hill Worth Resorts – a gem of a find, set on a cliff […]

Enchanted by Coonoor, The Nilgris, India

We watched from our car windows as the clouds made shapes, and soon reached what was a French settlement in India, Puducherry (Pondicherry or Pondy, with love). Our choice of stay was Neemrana’s La Maison Tamoule. An idyllic establishment bathing in antiquity – welcoming duplex rooms of typical 19th century […]

Tales from an Indian Union Territory: Pondicherry

It was not one of those strong, impulsive feelings that can hit two people like an electric shock when they first meet, but something quieter and gentler, like two tiny lights traveling in tandem through a vast darkness and drawing imperceptibly closer to each other as they go. – Haruki […]

Celebrating Two Years: Pollachi, India

“The world is full of magic things patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” Sitting amid a skyful of stars (thank you, SriLankan Airlines), Ceylon tea in hand, we noticed a matutinal glow painted across the sky. This was unmistakably a good sign. Thereafter, we landed in Colombo and […]

“Some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are worth writing about.” – Charles Bukowski Day 1: Vibrant Clarke Quay On a young summer evening in July, we alighted in the city-state of Singapore and checked into a room 14sq. metres (just!) in size, at the Porcelain Hotel, Chinatown. Tip: […]

72 Hours in Singapore

So, here’s our story. India → Singapore → Ngurah Rai International Airport Denpasar Eight of us – we were travelling with friends – arrived at the Indonesian archipelago heaving sighs of relief (earlier, there was a drifting volcanic ash cloud from Mt. Ruang that disallowed flights from landing in Bali). […]

Paradise Found – Bali, Indonesia

May God bless their souls, was the first thought that came to mind when we cancelled our journey to Base Camp Everest. The earthquake of 2015 sure reduced parts of Nepal to shambles but not the spirit of their people (as we learned from our friends and television channels). Our […]

Over the Hills and Far Away – A Himalayan Trek

“The mountains are calling, and I must go.” One weekend, in the mood for adventure, we loaded the car with a few friends, and drove towards Tennessee. 14 hours and 2000 miles, over a weekend, just to experience the magic of the Great Smoky Mountains! In what was the first […]

The Smokies, Tennessee

One morning, in the midst of the trees bursting with amber colored leaves, we took off on a road journey towards New Hampshire, New England’s famous fall state. Autumn had arrived without any warning. From Connecticut via the border of the green state of Vermont, the beauty was severe. The […]
