Tales along trails captured and penned
I hear my mind say – “Don’t just stay there, it won’t get better, get up and try, it won’t get worse!”
I ask, and when will it be over? I hear an answer, I don’t know! So I get up, to brave it through another day, because not knowing is hope enough, to keep going…
My Bhutan Solo travel experience in few words (read few pages). When I made an entry by day on my phone and came back and read it before posting I was amazed (pun intended) with the amount of details in it. So knowing the way my own mind works, I realise that one cannot read… Continue reading A travelogue of Bhutan, the land of happiness
A road trip through Gujarat: My travel journal. I need to confess that for this trip I was just a guest of honour and was lucky to be the driver as well. Lucky because the roads were very good (for most parts). My sister planned the entire itinerary and she was quite ambitious for the… Continue reading A road trip through Gujarat
In life’s seasons of low, I shall still continue to glow. Each season I shall shed it all, until there is nothing for the wind to blow. And the next season again I shall grow and grow, until I reach my sky, still grounded to the earth I owe. If the storm comes for me,… Continue reading Seasons of Change
An ode about hope and life, from moments of detachment: I walked outside and I walked out. I see, as I walk I leave footprints, only to be swept away by the next tide.

She appeared to be asleep. For company… Continue reading Doggie under my table
While solo travel and frequent backpacking is more common and is probably also a fad now, it’s still not considered normal by many. Well that’s the case at least in my circle of people in India. A solo traveler or any ardent traveler often gets a lot of comments and questions (not to discount the looks exchanged between… Continue reading What Ardent and Solo Travelers hear!
Cambodia houses magnificent Angkor temples showing off the beautiful Khmer architecture. From sunrises to sunsets each temple has a great view and history to offer! After a tormenting time with the Ho Chi Minh to Cambodia land border crossing, I reached Phnom Penh in the evening. Phnom Penh was not as exciting as I imagined.… Continue reading Kingdom of Cambodia – Khmer Empire of Temples
A ‘LoveLy’ journey into the reverie Hoi An town and the magnificent ruins of My Son Hoi An is an ancient town, with lanterns glowing the old town streets that host old heritage buildings. And the hundreds of floating lamps on the river on full moon days is a surreal experience etched in my memory.… Continue reading Hoi An, My Son and Da Nang
At the end of a session with 12-year-old footballers, on outdoor career options, a girl asked, do girls trek up mountains too? I said yes they do, it’s common.
