My Second First Time in London
June 23, 2016
London has always fascinated me. More so for the simple reason that I’ve lived there an entire year, and yet, don’t have a single memory of the city or my time there. Lucky for me, life hands out second chances in generous measures, and I got to experience London again — for the first time! … More My Second First Time in London
Bhigwan — A Bird Watcher’s Paradise
February 9, 2016
Around 100Kms from Pune in the direction of Sholapur lies Bhigwan, a small village that becomes a hotbed for migratory birds in winter. Among other birds, the serene backwaters of the Ujain Dam witness the arrival of the Greater Flamingos in January and February – also birders and photography enthusiasts. … More Bhigwan — A Bird Watcher’s Paradise
Lohagad
July 7, 2015
Sometimes, you just need to step out. Out into the open, far – or at least far enough – from home, and take with you nothing but your spirit of adventure. And a few sandwiches, maybe. Earlier this week, my sister and I made for Lohagad. Being mid-week, the fort was devoid of the usual crowds … More Lohagad
Thiksay Monastery, Ladakh
June 9, 2015
Of all the monasteries we visited in Ladakh, the Thiksay Monastery seemed, by far, the most impressive. Perched atop a hill with buildings layering its slopes, it was difficult to miss even from afar. We drove up to the monastery instead of using the steep pedestrian access, and found beautiful stupas on one side of … More Thiksay Monastery, Ladakh
The Road to Lamaruyu Gompa
June 6, 2015
On our third day at Leh, following two days of acclimatization, we were all set to explore Ladakh and take in the sights. We had planned to drive up to Lamayuru Gompa, a little over 100 km from Leh on the Leh-Kargil road, and return in time for dinner. After tucking into an absolutely divine … More The Road to Lamaruyu Gompa
Leh — Impressions and Experiences
May 23, 2015
We flew into Leh from Delhi at around 8am, but the excitement had begun the minute we spied the mighty Himalayas from our little plane window. The mountain peaks had seemed really close, and the snow-topped ranges had seemed formidable. A friend had warned us not to underestimate the cold in Ladakh so we were … More Leh — Impressions and Experiences
Indian Botanic Garden, Kolkata

The plant kingdom has always fascinated me, which is why we drove to the Indian Botanic Garden when we visited Kolkata last month. The Indian Botanic Garden also goes by the names Royal Botanic Garden and the more recent Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden. Founded in 1787 and spread across over 100 hectares … More Indian Botanic Garden, Kolkata
Drive to Pangong Lake
May 15, 2015
I’d seen Pangong Tso in the movies a few years ago, and been enchanted by it’s serene, azure waters and the lofty mountains that skirted it. The landscape had loomed larger than life on the silver screen, painted in vivid blue, shades of brown and crowned with spotless white. Striking, in its complete absence of … More Drive to Pangong Lake
Kolkata – Street Photography
May 14, 2015
My visits to Kolkata usually involve overindulgence in food. Whether it’s at home, or the homes of the many, many relatives who shower us with love – through food, or out on the streets…It’s mostly about food. All the time, and everywhere. (No complaints, though!) This time, I ventured out into the streets and bylanes … More Kolkata – Street Photography
