“And me, I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it’s not some place you can look for, ’cause it’s not where you go. It’s how you feel for a moment in your life when you’re a part of something, and if you find that moment… it lasts forever…” - The Beach, […]

A Journey To Railay, Krabi - The Discoveries & The Madness, And Everything In Between!
Well, it was indeed a pretty long journey! I had to take a flight from New Delhi to Chennai, where my friend (the one for whom this trip happened!) joined me. It was another 3 hours from Chennai to Bangkok, and then we had to wait in this never-ending queue for the visa! P.S - […]
A Month In Kenya - Exploring Beyond Maasai Mara!
“You are going for a month? That’s long enough!” “What will you be doing there for a month?” “Is Kenya safe to stay for so long?” Even while we were planning the trip and several times later as well, we were asked why we chose to spend a month in Kenya! That’s a pretty relevant […]

The strikingly costumed dancers mesmerize and delight locals and […]

Cape Schanck - Victoria’s Hidden Paradise, Just An Hour From Melbourne

A Tuk-Tuk Driver’s Tale - Stories From Cambodia
Ever since I was a kid, I was always fascinated to see people waiting outside the airport holding someone’s name. I wondered that someday, even I would step out and find a stranger with a board having my name on it! (Human desires I tell you, but who doesn’t like to feel a little special?) […]
Prini Peak - Experiences From A Self-Sufficiency Mountaineering Course

And as a famous saying goes, “Sometimes the path we choose, makes our life.” Back in December 2016, I came across this trailer of a documentary called ‘The Fall’ on YouTube which showed the journey of two young adventurists, […]
