Auli – The Perfect Bliss →  March 29, 2010

Crisp white snow, pristine clear air, the vastness of the sky seems to be much closer and the mountain slopes look classic in the snowy garment, like posing for couture. Auli is a destination to encompass such a scenic beauty and be a rugged terrain, both at the same time. An important ski destination in [...]

Pushkar Fair – Traditions vs Modernity →  March 29, 2010

The old traditions and customs can go beyond our mental horizon. Especially when it has its own streak of colours, the not-so-in-things for enjoyment, and where the deep-rooted cultures are so much cherished they can create in you the respect for the same. And it is so much in conflict with the today’s contemporary world [...]

Jodhpur Marwar Festival →  March 27, 2010

The concept of valor and courage is woven intricately in almost every historical epic of a country. The harshness of the so called fighters is part of their personality.

Happy Skating! →  March 25, 2010

Winter sports are lots of fun and our Sunday outdoor ice-skaiting  is certainly a prof of it!  Three city girls we arrived to the quiet country-side, it seems even more quiet during freezing winter.  Dressed in layers and equipped with old skates we are heading to the small frozen pond nearby.

Food for thought – Kumbhalgarh Fort →  March 7, 2010

Working has really slowed down my spirit. My calling to take a voyage somewhere is yelling to me, and I am ignoring it for very long. I am not showing the best trait of being a traveler, that is spontaneity. Really that is required. To travel long distance sure we need to plan, but the [...]

Fabulous Elephant Festival – Rajasthan →  March 7, 2010

How can you brand the regal ness of the Indian Maharajas? Who could have stand upfront to help these Kings to pose out their purple robes? And how it could have been possible for the Rajas and the Maharajas to boastfully flaunt their estates? The kingly royalty was so very nicely endorsed by these super [...]
