A little adventure for the body and mind blended with some peace for the soul makes a perfect recipe for a great trip. That is why exactly you need to be here. To sense the rush of flying in the skies and to still the mind. BIR Two things particularly stand out in Bir – […]
Bathu ki Ladi – ‘Temples under water’ !

If you only travel to places everyone else does, you will only have experiences similar to everyone else. After 2 hours on the powerful Himalayan wheels, under the scorching heat of the fiery sun in the hills, a year-long or rather about 300-day long wait and anticipation but sans expectation turned out to be a […]
What to do in and around Binsar !

How about nothing? Sometimes it’s perfectly okay, and absolutely necessary to shut down, kick back and do nothing. What is important is to take out time for oneself. Do nothing. Believe me. Doing nothing is very important. You will then surely know exactly what you need to do. With no Mall road, branded stores or […]
The Great Amritsar Food Trail !

Now I am a firm upholder of ‘eating and staying healthy’ but a few happy days of mouth watering, butter dripping, fat filled food did harm to nobody. 😛 One can’t do nothing when gluttony takes over. Amritsari Kulcha My first hand at the ‘Kulcha’ was at the Bhai Kulwant Singh Amritsar famous kulcha & nan. […]
Amritsar – Historic city of gold !

Golden temple does not define Amritsar. Nor does Wagah border.

To ride is to feel the warm rays of the sun, the wind brushing against you, a sense of freedom, never ending roads and mental inactivity or sometimes the other way around. Long roads, contrasting barren brown […]
All about Pushkar and the ‘grand mela’!

There are two ways of looking at things. Either you try to see behind walls; have admiration for smallest of things, embrace the new and feel and experience the vibe around you or else you are indifferent and can interpret most things as obvious with hardly any element that surprises you. If you fall in […]
On the road to Lansdowne !

THE LONG NIGHT It was 2 am on a Saturday at Meerut when we were looking for directions. A glance at the android phone and suddenly we found ourselves under the bike struggling to stand on our feet. It was my first accident. Not particularly anything to be happy about at all, but I was. […]
