Floating in an Okavango Makoro I peregrinate across the river of White Lotuses. The water is so calm here, And the Sun shines with benevolence This quintessential tranquility is confounding. The canoe abruptly comes to a standstill, And punting has been stagnated all of a sudden. As splashes of water dampens my face I wiped …
If I were to say that travelling has changed my life, I wouldn’t be completely right. And that is because what I would be saying will only be partially true. Travelling hadn’t just changed my life, it has made me who I am. I am me because I travel. It has defined my life, given …
I had to cancel my travel plans of backpacking across South-east Asia. I had been planning for this trip for a very long time. I had even booked my flight tickets.

If you come across one such brute, It’s eyes staring right into your eyes, It’s skin etched, lacerated and scarred; And the teeth, ugly and sharp. What if there’s more? More than one? I am underwater and I can’t swim… …
Due to the time restraints, I and my friend Olivia Crooks, haven’t been able to sky-dive the day everyone else we came with, did. The group of six people each left us two as the last ones to board a plane and then jump out of it. When everyone else was sitting there in excitement, …
(PART II) Who knew a place where I came to see and get involved in a cultural fair could give me so much more than that, in terms of inner peace, a sense of tranquillity and lifetime memories.
