In Hong Kong Part I
There is a tussle going on between Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing as they are all keenly vying for the title of most exciting city in Asia, the destination for shopping, dining and style. But these cities still have a way to go before they steal Hong Kong’s limelight. Hong Kong has managed to bounce back from the upheaval of the handover, the Asia... more...

My small weekend in Srinagar
I was not sure what I expected when I got off the plane and walked towards baggage claim. Some part of me hoped of Shikara would pick me up from the airport. Pondering into these questions I got into the waiting car and was quickly driven to the hotel. The place was massive; Jehangir my host offered me a hot cup of kahwa and watched indulgently as ... more...

My dusty travel to Raj Niwas Palace in ...
We drive up through great wrought iron gates down a tree lined gravel path and stop in front of a vast European edifice, the Raj Niwas Palace in Dholpur, Rajasthan. Built by the ruler of Dholpur, the palace is owned by Dushyant Singh, son of Vasundhara Raje who married into a royal family and is now the minister of Rajasthan. Raj Niwas Palace is a ... more...

Ramathra Fort, Gaganpur, Rajasthan
We took the high road, struggled past city traffic and eventually found ourselves on the low ones that don’t bypass life altogether. Dusty roads broken by bursts of colour, as a juggad, the tractor, heaves past, carrying an impossible number of vividly clad women and brightly turbaned men in the makeshift cart. Finally, up dark and sheer turns, thr... more...

Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh
As I walked among the streets of Bhopal, capital of Madhya Pradesh, I was smitten by its architecture with an attractive blend of Rajput, Gond, Afghan, British, French and Mughal influences define the old city, while luxuriant sprawling spaces and contemporary structures dot the new areas. I think the hallmark here is the Charles Correa’s Bharat Bh... more...

Majuli an island in Assam
Majuli’s cultural and natural diversity still survives in Assam. The island is mostly rural and has over 240 villages with a rich mix of different tribes and communities.

Lansdowne
Tiny Lansdowne is one of the quietest hill stations in Uttranchal. So quite and so hidden the time when I reached gates of Garhwal Rifles Cantonment I came to know that I have reached. The town is so picturesque as I drived through Kotdwar past a mountain stream also known as the lost river Khoh, so clear that I could see the pebbles on its bed fro... more...
