I'm a firm believer in taking a break from the usual and mundane. Sadly not everyone has the time or luxury of hopping on an airplane and whisking off to an exotic location. Sometimes, a gorgeous car ride in the pouring rain to a nearby city and checking into...
Most of the time when I write about food, it's usually a single restaurant that I thought was so good that I needed to talk about it so that other people can enjoy the experience. I've been writing recommendations on this site for over 5 years and very rarely...
There was a time when driving for a couple of hours or road trips were exciting but I find them losing their appeal. Maybe it's a sign that I'm not as patient as I once use to be. After a rather turbulent flight in a plane far smaller than...
Travelers often categorize themselves as either a beach person or a mountain person. While both hold a great appeal, I'd call myself a jungle person. Going on safari in any part of the world gives me more pleasure than frolicking on any beach or waking up to any spectacular...

I've said it a million times and I'll keep saying it - there is nothing like being on a safari. I've been lucky enough to experience the wild in Africa as well as in our own back yard in Central and North India and every single time, it is...
A lot has been said about the ceremony that happens daily at the India- Pakistan border in Amritsar Punjab. The first being that they still refer to this as the Wagah border when Wagah is actually a village in Pakistan. For us Indians it is actually officially called the...
Punjab is one Indian state that has made an impact globally. When the west thinks of India, they often associate Punjab or Punjabis and that's because the entire state is full of history, culture and life. The city that seems to represent best what Punjab is all about is...
There are always cities or countries on my wishlist. Places I'm curious about or can't wait to visit. Amritsar however never featured as one. My sister has been talking about visiting the city and specially the Golden Temple and I always thought yes I'm sure it will be lovely,...
