Photoshoot in Bali: Flytographer

Ankur and I got married in November 2010. It was a big, fat Indian wedding… to be precise, a North Indian wedding. I wore a pink traditional wedding dress and Ankur came on a chariot with horses. Don’t be surprised! All this is pretty normal in a North Indian wedding. All the wedding pictures are in place…but we never could manage to get a pre-wedding shoot done. We have no pictures that capture our emotions...

Samabe Suites: Honeymoon re-lived!

What makes the honeymoon trip so special? Of course…you have recently gotten married! Anything besides that? Well, its the way everyone treats you. People go the extra mile to make you feel special and to ensure that life seems like paradise. That is exactly how we felt at Samabe… like royalty walking through paradise! We reached the Samabe reception drenched in sweat. I would blame the Balinese island heat, which was also responsible for making...

Day Trip to Ubud: Tips

I plan for every trip well in advance. I read up the Lonely Planet. I check out Tripadvisor. I surf through numerous blogs. Doing the homework well is my job. Ankur’s job is execution. Well, for this trip, I did nothing. We just got our hotels in place and thought that we should do a day trip to Ubud, just because everyone talks about it. This is all that I knew… and Ankur knew even...

Masai Mara: Photo Blog Part I

Masai Mara… it’s a true jungle where humans are the outsiders and the animals know it! I spent over ten minutes admiring a lioness who was least concerned about my presence.  Our safari vehicle drove close to a giraffe…so close that I was sure he would eat up my safari hat for dessert! I clicked to my heart’s content and soaked in all that I could without the lens. There was plenty of time for...

Lake Naivasha: Boat Safari

Lake Naivasha National Park to a bird lover is what Masai Mara is to an animal lover. It’s a peep into God’s colourful creations and how they co-exist. The place is bird photographer’s delight. How close can you get to the birdie without scaring it? If you are on a boat in Lake Naivasha, the answer is real close… at times closer than 5 meters even!!! If you love birds, including the pigeons and crows...

Lake Nakuru National Park

Our regular readers will know how much I love birds and animals. I will painstakingly plan safaris, drive to far flung locations and walk through swamp lands to get a few feet closer to wildlife. I am not fascinated only by the big five… herds of gazelles fascinate me just as much. While Masai Mara is the place to see the four legged beings, Lake Nakuru National Park and Lake Naivasha National Park are the...

Vegetarian Must Eats in Amsterdam

No trip to the Netherlands is complete without stuffing your face with cheese, the delightful Dutch gouda cheese! But cheese is not the only thing that Netherlands has to offer to the vegetarian taste buds; there is more. Besides cheese, the Dutch love their potatoes, pastries, caramel and apples. I am sure there is a lot more to add in the list, but two days in Amsterdam was too short a time to put together...
