Air France and Discrimination against Indian Passengers

Nowadays, the staff of Air France has been news over discrimination of passengers on the basis of race. Over 50 Indian passengers, who were left stranded on the Paris airport due to a technical snag which took over 28 hours to fix, have alleged racism and complained that they did not receive food or water […]

Visiting Berlin

My trip to Berlin started on a very anxious note, which quite embarrassingly I cannot disclose here (my friends know what I am talking about). Anyhow, things went smoother once I boarded my Air France (Warning: avoid flying Air France) flight to the German Capital via Paris (where I missed my connecting flight and waited […]

These are a few of my favorite things

“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things”
I had almost forgotten how much I used to love this song as a kid until recently when I actually visited the city of its creation- Salzburg. […]

Neemrana Fort and Palace - A Trip to the Bygone Era

Going for office offsite trips is always a memorable experience, especially when you have young and enthusiastic people with you. After weeks of contemplation and cancellations, we eventually decided to make a visit to Neemrana Hotels and Forts, which is a two and a half hour drive from Delhi on the Delhi-Jaipur Highway. The roads […]

Corbett Calling

Corbett can be one of the most exciting weekend getaways for you if you are a Delhiite. With woods around you, chilly breeze, sprawling forests, luxury resorts, and vacation-like atmosphere, Corbett qualifies to be a perfect haven for travelers and non-travelers alike. I made my first trip to Corbett last weekend, after being sick and […]

I have always been very interested to know more and more about the […]

Seven step sisters?

We are all familiar with the term, ‘seven sister states’, referring to the seven states from the North East region of India. Most of us would even have faint memories from school, when we were made to mark the seven sisters with their respective capitals on tiny political maps of India. But try asking anyone […]

Bombay Diary - A city Replete with Potholes & Promise

Mumbai is a place Delhiites generally don’t like to travel. Heavy traffic logs, un-warmly behavior of people, and dearth of good-looking girls often are the major grievances of those who have been bred in Delhi or North India (disclaimer: I don’t want to instigate the North India-West India divide issue here). On my second trip […]

River Rafting At Rishikesh

Rishikesh is exactly what you expect it to be: disorganized, replete with firangs, overpriced on the weekends, and full of excitement and natural beauty. My decision to go river rafting in the Ganges this weekend was a hasty one, but one that I absolutely enjoyed. I had earlier done rafting at the River Beas at […]
