  • The Journey, The Traveler

    It is not just about travel; it is also about the thoughts that rush to me when I travel…

  • The Land of Happiness – Part III

    We are struck by the similarity between Bhutan and Scotland. On curves, we feel we are on our way to Hogwarts. We will turn around the corner & there will be the Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft. Sigh!

  • The Land of Happiness – Part II

    It is on the way to Punakha that the King crosses us on a bicycle, His envoy following him. While cars stop & hawkers stand up in respect, the King’s simplicity touches us…

  • The Land of Happiness – Part I

    It has an idyllic setting; you can see the Sun rise behind the mountains, the village slowly coming to life, unpaved roads, greenery, calm & tranquil… There is nothing not to love. If there is one place you should cover in Bhutan, it is this.

  • When Like & Dislike Co-existed

    “Gar firdaus ae baruhe zamin ast, Hamin astu Hamin astu Hamin ast.” (If there is heaven on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here.)

  • Kem Chho Gujarat?

    Rural menfolk in white dhoti – kurta, women in colorful chaniya – cholis, children playing in the mud, cattle, goats, sheep & dogs freely roaming around, elders sitting under the banyan tree discussing sociopolitical affairs… this pretty much paints a picture of a typical Indian village.

  • It Took a Spell of Rain to Make Us Love

    What the beach, shacks, parties could not do, the greenery, the rain and the sea did…

  • China – Not That Mythical

    The Chinese eat anything that walks. The language barrier is significant. The Chinese are rude & unfriendly. True or False?
