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. I had prepared a presentation of my travel plans starting from Singapore and then spending about 2 months Workaway-ing in Malaysia, then strolling through …
How even a day in Hawaii is totally worth it?
As a fond traveller and nature lover, would you ever plan just one day trip to a place like Hawaii? I never would. But that’s all I had… A day. While travelling with SAS, Hawaii was a fuel stop and I had luckily signed up for a field program to Oahu waterfall and Koolau summit. …
HOME, AWAY FROM HOME II
(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. The last evening was unforgettable. It started pouring and hence the celebrations had to be interrupted in …
HOME, AWAY FROM HOME I
PART I Quietly tucked away in the blanket of fog and enrapturing beauty deep within the Himalayas, way beyond the Banjar valley in Himachal Pradesh, I happened upon a place; a place that gave me long lost peace and satisfaction, that I failed to find in the city life of Delhi; a place that seemed …
The Haunting Beauty of Icebergs
A bizarre sculpture of ice carved with the elements of nature appeared at a distance, when my eyes sparkled with excitement and thrill.

Why is Triund trek an unforgettable experience?
One of my unplanned and bodacious journeys that changed me upside down (definitely in a good way) was the trek to Triund. The memories of the journey are still afresh in my mind and heart and will always be. Who likes to get rid of good memories after all!! Besides if you have made good …
White Rann
Is it not beautiful? To look at the sky and just get lost into it. To look at the clod around you and find infinity. To look around and not find anyone else but you. And, then look deep enough that you find yourself within you. To look at the backscattering of the sun so …
