Kuala Lumpur: Veg Foodies’ Delight!

I like the tag line of the Malaysian Tourism Board: ‘Malaysia – Truly Aisa’. It really is true, at least for the foodies! We have been to plenty of places in Asia – Thailand, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, India and the Maldives. Malaysia offers the palette a taste of all these countries and more, including Japan, and Korea. We have struggled a bit in Thailand for vegetarian food and have eaten boiled rice and stir...

Monday Musings: Hungry in Colombia

“Whenever we travel in a new place, we look forward to eating popular dishes of the local cuisine. More than checking out the famous landmarks, museums or places that come highlighted in travel guides, food is bound to make a better introduction to a new land. It connects you to the local culture immediately and it allows you to understand how people live. Very often, this connection can be found in its most authentic form...

Our favourite videos were those shot by Evan Trout from Burris Film. Here is the link to one of the videos….and there are many more! We wanted to know more about...

Monday Musings: Guanajuato, Mexico

Guanajuato’s colourful buildings cascade like sugar-coated treats over the hills that make up this Mexican town. Aside from the photo opportunities at every turn, the town has a vibrant cultural scene. As well as the theatre, check out the birthplace of the artist Diego Rivera – famed for his colourful murals – in the house and museum of his birthplace. Also worth a visit is the not-for the-squeamish Museum of the Mummies, complete with exhumed...

Malindo Air: Airline Review

We want to travel ever so often. Our whims and fancies would take us to a new destination every alternate weekend if budget wasn’t a constraint. Hence, every sale on air fare or introduction of a new low cost carrier is a reason of us to celebrate. We don’t care whether the flight takes us to an interesting location in India or lets us add another stamp to our passport – our bags are always...

I had Tweety bird erasers, mugs, pen stands and soft toys. Remnants of this obsessive phase still exist at my folks’ place. ‘I twaut I thaw a puddy tat’ was like music to my ears! For someone who is...
