Growing up, one of the biggest resentments I had against my parents was the fact that they took me around the world at a very young age. By the time I turned 7, I had been on two round-the-world trips. Now, before you mark me down as a snob for complaining about excessive travel, hear me out…

Lately, I’ve come to the conclusion that everything exciting happens on or next to roads in India. India’s biggest tourist attraction, other than the Taj Mahal, can be found on the roads… curious to know what I’m talking about? Click the link. We begin with the road-side Dhabas (eateries). […]

Sitting cross-legged amidst an array of delicious confectioneries, he was starting to get impatient. “Aap rehne he do, nahi bechni aur kachori aapko” (leave it now, I don’t want to sell any more kachoris to you) he said with slight irritation. There was no anger in his words. […]

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) is that it is poetry in motion. Sounds cheesy I know, but it’s true. The second being that in terms of friendship and the overall feel of the film, it slightly resembles […]
A family vacation, a cruise – halfway around the world, one of the severest winters seen by Europe, the warm Caribbean weather living up to its name; Captivating Caribbean is a small series where I shall cover some of the stops we made during this 14-day cruise. Hopefully, these […]
