We spent three days Lucknow in the chilly month of December. We were there to attend Ankur’s 10 year reunion at the Indian Institute of Management. Nostalgia was strong and we spent two out of three days at the IIM campus itself. On the third day, we explored Lucknow. Lucknow is known as the city of Nawabs and was the capital of the Awadh kingdom. The city still carries the legacy of the ‘Nawabi’ times...

Places to Visit (India) in 2015- Part 1 was a blog on what I want to do during the year- a monologue from my perspective. I am assuming that Ankur would like to visit at a couple of places from that list, else I will make a puppy face and convince him to come along. My little list aside, Ankur has a list of places in India that he would like to visit during 2015. Considering...

Recapping 2014 through the flashback posts, Flashback 2014: Part 1 and Flashback 2014: Part 2, made us realize that we had averaged at least one trip a month, which included three new countries and nine domestic trips. That isn’t too bad for a couple that also has regular jobs, what do you think? We would love to have an even more rocking 2015! We know not what the future holds, but there is no harm...

Our last vacation was in Croatia during August, a country that has made us fall in love with rocky beaches. However, today’s picture, which captures a colourful sunset at the Varkala Beach in India, has made us want to sink our feet in the soft sand once again! Colourful Palette “Rosie and I have been traveling around the world for over 7 months now. It’s been a fast-paced, action packed half-year and it’s just started...

South Mumbai: Tourism in our own city!

Often, we do not lend the touristy sight to our very own city. Those living in Mumbai might understand what I am saying – we are so busy cribbing about what is wrong that we seldom appreciate what is right around us. Walking through the lanes of South Mumbai was on the cards for a long time and we finally ended up taking some shots of century old buildings last month. It was Ankur’s effort...

Kerala is called ‘God’s own country’. You can look at pictures on the internet and get a peek of paradise. But if you want a slice of heaven, you have to cruise through the back waters of Alleppy. So, what does this ‘slice of heaven’ look like? Close your eyes and imagine cruising over the calm backwaters, lush greenery all around, tall coconut trees laden with fruit and vast open blue skies – thats what...

250 kilometers away from Mumbai is the little village of Bhigwan, which plays host to hundreds and thousands of flamingos every winter, from the months of December to March. I have not read about it in any guide book or travel magazine and it stays under the wraps, unexplored by the maddening tourist crowds. Maybe that is the reason why the flamingos fly there… they still have their space, relatively undisturbed by mankind. This was...

Kerala is a costal state. Obviously, it is famous for delectable fish curries, which is something that us vegetarians cannot enjoy. The state is also famous for spices – walking through the spice market will surely make you crave for some aromatic curries and rice. Worry not – for the vegetarian foodie tribe that would want to join us in our food expeditions in Kochi, here are our two cents. Read on for a vegetarian...

We Indians are an expressive lot, and needless to say, dance is an expression of feelings that simmer in the soul. India has a list of classical dance forms that are well regarded across the world. I am not trained in any of them neither do I understand any of them – and I am not too proud of it. Three decades too late in life, but it is never too late to spend a...

The Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur, features on the list of the most romantic hotels in the world. Staying in the hotel and feeling like royalty was on my bucketlist! Good time to go… There is a good time to go when the weather is perfect – October to April. And then there is good time to go when price is the least May – August. During peak season, between November to March, when the maximum...

There is an explicable joy in staying at a plantation – green paddy fields, enticing mango orchards, flowering stretches of mustard or dwarf coffee plants. Coorg let’s you experience this joy, without hordes of tourists clambering at your heels! Off season? Coorg is situated at an altitude of ~3500 feet. As we Indians like to say ‘It is a hill station!’. A lot of local tourists gravitate towards Coorg during the summer months of April...

I love animals, barring the creepy crawlies in the world. Not that I have anything against them, but I would rather stick to larger species in the mega life forms. It was my love for animals that had taken us for a wildlife safari on our honeymoon to Kruger National Park in South Africa – that was over three years ago. It was time for another wildlife trip! Ankur isn’t too fond of the four...
