    City of Joy – P’s Expedition to Kaee

    City of Joy – P’s Expedition to Kaee

    Now that I’ve summarized my Kolkata excursion (you can read that here), I’ll write a more detailed account of my days there. The first day, of course, was partly about getting to the city of not just joy, but diversity too. A first-rate weather in Delhi NCR calmed my resfeber (noun. Swedish. The tangled feelings […]

    City of Joy – Life of P

    City of Joy – Life of P

    Saudade (n.) Origin: Portuguese Definition: A nostalgic longing to be near something/ someone who is distant The Howrah Bridge in the distance, putting up a show with its lights! Calcutta, or Kolkata, has always held a place in my heart. I’d traveled to KOL a few times but always for work or when passing by. […]

    The Alwar District in Five Days

    The Alwar District in Five Days

    Our recent blog post (& the comment it generated) made us realise that the Alwar District was a wholesome getaway. It has the advantage of being close to Delhi NCR (4.5 hours from ISBT) & enough to see & do for more than a weekend! We dug through our emails, photographs, and memories, & compiled […]

    Alwar – An Anonymous Historical Enchantment

    Alwar – An Anonymous Historical Enchantment

    It was an airless August morning when we drove to Alwar to see its nameless attractions. By the end of the holiday, we were left wondering how this city retained its allure in spite of being so close to NCR! Alwar is one of the oldest cities in Rajasthan. It’s surrounded by a moat & […]

    Har Destination Kuch Kehta Hai!

    Har Destination Kuch Kehta Hai!

    Stealing & modifying the tag line of an Indian multinational paint company, we firmly believe Har Destination Kuch Kehta Hai. Every place that we’ve been to has stood out in one or the other aspect. This has led us to believe that there are no bad destinations; just unfortunate circumstances that ruin a trip. We […]

    A Monsoon Drive to Mathura

    A Monsoon Drive to Mathura

    The weekends when we’re unable to head out of the city, we think of ways to make the best of the days. Moreso during the rains. A long drive in the monsoon months cures even the worst of our moods; we’re sure it does for you too. One such weekend in July 2020, we made […]

    Travel Attitude!

    Travel Attitude!

    We often get asked about how we manage to travel so much. TBH, we don’t think it’s ‘much’; we would love to travel at least twice as much as we do now. But, returning to the point, we realise we cannot give ‘tips’ for we are not experts. What we can do is share our […]

    Eat, Stay, Love – In Dehradun!

    Eat, Stay, Love – In Dehradun!

    We would have crossed Dehradun countless times, thanks to it being a gateway to the hill stations of Garhwal. But, it’s only over the past few years that we began considering Doon, as it’s fondly called, as a destination in itself. Over time, we realised that this capital of Uttarakhand is an idyllic weekend destination […]

    August Trails in Jabarkhet Nature Reserve

    August Trails in Jabarkhet Nature Reserve

    When we planned our Landour trip, the name ‘Jabarkhet Nature Reserve’ kept popping up. But we’d only one day in Landour & weaning ourselves away from this serene town seemed impossible. Someone advised us to visit the Jabarkhet Reserve before we started for Delhi NCR. We’re glad we got this counsel & that we took […]

    Landour – A Scenic Town in Garhwal

    It felt like craziness but we’d to do it! So, March 2020. The world was locking down in a frenzy. We knew India would shut down anytime. The threat of COVID was rife but we knew we’d to make the most of a long weekend. A last long weekend for a long time to come… […]

    Can’t Get Enough…

    Can’t Get Enough…

    We travelled across the region of Bundelkhand, Seeing the remnants of history. Laxmibai’s Jhansi was the first stop, Despite her defeat, we only saw her victory. Orchha beckoned next, With its fort, rivers, cenotaphs & palaces. We wandered around the tiny town awestruck, Till our feet developed calluses. Orchha told us about Chhatrasaal, The ruler […]

    दिल का आंगन

    दिल का आंगन

    दिल के मकान में एक आंगन है। वो आंगन मैंने मैहर के नाम कर दिया। अरे! मैहर तो छोटी जगह है। इतना बड़ा आंगन क्यों दे दिया? एक छोटा सा कमरा काफ़ी था। मैं हँस पड़ी। मैहर का खुला, नीला आसमान, ये गेहूं और सरसों के खेत वो कमल के अंगिनत झील मैहर की त्रिकूटा […]

    Appreciation Post

    Appreciation Post

    When N & I got married, we promised each other we would never stop wondering. We felt it was a coincidence that the words ‘wondering’ & ‘wandering’ were so similar… Over the last eight years, we have explored much of India! We pick up our car & drive away at the drop of the hat. […]

    What We Like About…

    What We Like About…

    It may still be a bad time to talk about travel as India has emerged from the second COVID-19 wave only two months’ back. However, there is a post idea that has been on our minds for weeks now & we felt this would be the perfect time to write it down. So, we have […]

    Please Do Not Judge!

    Please Do Not Judge!

    When the second COVID wave hit, we saw multiple posts on social media admonishing travel bloggers (& other kinds of influencers) for blogging & posting while the country was going through a catastrophe. The blogging/ influencing/ vlogging community was called ‘heartless’ & ‘selfish’. Now, we are not influencers by any stretch of imagination, nor do […]

    10 Reasons Why We Love The Mountains

    Thanks to the lousy day we had yesterday, we have been trying to escape mentally to the mountains. If you know us, we feel ourselves at home in the mountains. 2021 has been difficult for all of us but we have managed to cope on most of the days. However, occasionally, like yesterday, it gets […]

    Doors of Rajasthan

    So we’ve been wanting to do this for a LONG time but something or the other made us put it off. Finally, the Holi post of Incredible India made us bite the bullet! Isn’t that a treat to the eyes? So, here we go, with our version of ‘Doors of Rajasthan’!! Do you like it? […]

    You’ll Be Missed

    You’ll Be Missed

    We have always been proud of being unattached to material possessions. It is not that we do not value our belongings, but we do not attach undue importance to at least 90% of our possessions. We thus usually do not get heartbroken if something breaks/ tears occasionally. Or even while decluttering – we are happy […]
