If you’re planning a trip to Texas and do land up in its largest city, Houston, here are some ways to be absolutely touristy. 1. As you’re riding through this populous state, it’s most likely that you will realize how massive it is. 6-lane roads, futuristic skyscrapers on one hand, […]
Sans plan, a few friends, and us, mapped out our 4th July-long weekend along the undulating east coast, from CT to the state of Maine. First, we were greeted by Portland, where, the occasional warmth from the sun, howling winds, the swirl of the sea and the incessant drizzle from […]
May 2014, our first wedding anniversary, deserved a special destination. From JFK to PFN to LIM to CUZ. Post landing in Cusco, a town in the midst of the Andean range, nearly 3600m above sea-level, we were taken to a boutique hotel, Los Marqueses: charming, colonial, quaint and, as we […]
By the end of what was a painfully long New England winter, we found ourselves on a windows-unrolled-feet-up road journey towards the Capital. The overcast skies had nothing to do with our weekend plans. We drove from CT to NY to NJ to DE to MD to DC, got a […]
We love travelling back to India every once in a while. It’s almost like looking for beautiful places around the world only to come home to find it. Bangalore to Coimbatore to Munnar: three cities in three states with old world charm. We stopped for breakfast and realized, there’s nothing […]
We spent just about five hours – a day before Thanksgiving – in the heart of Chicago. To put it mildly: Gotham freaking City! Uncanny resemblance to virtual world (fact is, and even though, The Dark Knight series was shot in several locations here). The Navy Pier: There it stood, […]
“Christmas doesn’t come from a store, Christmas means a little bit more.” Christmas in New York City is sparkling, manic and merry (indeed!). And quintessential. Yet amusing. And wonderful. And magical. And occasionally warm due to the gallons of double espressos consumed. Anything we say would be too little. Luckily, […]
There are only a few things more thrilling than a Mustang and fall colours, and them together. We checked this off our bucket-list, one beautiful October morning. Moaning winds and a partly sunlit autumn sky – enhancing the greens, yellows and oranges of the maple – was a day we, […]
‘Weekend getaways are like curling up into a soft cloud.’ Our road trip mapped out to be a bell-shaped journey. We chose the opportune Labor Day holiday; from CT to NJ to PA to DE to VA. After meandering through roads unknown, we reached our hotel. The sky was burnt […]
6-14 July, 2013: The week we found true love. Athens. After an hour of attempted map-reading and traversing through a relatively traffic-free city, we reached our luxurious little hotel, Athenian Callirhoe, strategically placed in the pocket of a street corner. We, like the Greek, don’t like spending our summer evenings indoors! […]
After a bumpy ride, we reached a breathtaking, expansive, but secluded, property that stood on the shores of the Kabini river-dam, Red Earth. We were received by hospitable hosts who gave us their best champagne, on arrival. What a welcome! Our first holiday together. A tingling excitement. Reason to celebrate. […]
