The first-ever metropolitan city I ever visited, it was Delhi, as a small kid in the year 1996. I only have faint memories of the city from those times. I was in Delhi for more than a month with my uncle and grandmother. Thankfully, my uncle took me to all the major tourist attractions in Delhi, leaving me happy and contented like never before.

Road Trip from Bangalore to Pondicherry
My first ever tête-à-tête with this state was a road trip from Bangalore to Coonoor in the year 2017 on a Maruti-Suzuki Swift, with me on the backseat doing nothing. Fast forward to the year 2021, I could only promote myself to become the navigator in Volkswagen Vento on yet another road trip from BangaloreContinue reading “Road Trip from Bangalore to Pondicherry”
How to Choose the Best Camera for Yourself
This question, though very simple, has a profound answer that goes beyond marketing gimmicks and a simple comparison of camera specifications.

Naldehra, Himachal Pradesh
Four days, four different moods. From gorgeous grey to pristine white, tranquil blue to resplendent green, nature is just at its best everywhere you move your eyes. Far away from the hustle and bustle of Shimla, Naldehra gives you a refreshing break from a typical tourist place, offering a majestic view of pristine peaks. The best time to come here is winter when you can probably catch beautiful snowfall like we did.
Chikmagalur, Karnataka
The literal meaning of Chikmagalur is ‘Land of the younger (Chikka) daughter (Magalu)’. It is one of the most popular haunts for people in Bangalore looking for a refreshing weekend getaway, full of scenic hills, coffee estates, and waterfalls. The climate here is pleasant throughout the year. However, I would recommend you to visit thisContinue reading “Chikmagalur, Karnataka”
A Journey Through Patna: History, Cuisine, and Culture
Don’t go by the title. I originally hail from a small town in Bihar called Katihar. Patna has just become a new home ever since I got married.

Exploring Jaipur: A Blend of History and Modernity

Exploring Rajgir: A Journey Through Bihar’s Spiritual Heart
I know, when it comes to travelling in Bihar, there are not many geographical diversities to explore as such. Bihar lies on Indo-Gangetic plain with an average elevation above sea level of 173 feet. We may not have sky-kissing mountains to look up to, or musical sea waves to soothe one’s soul, but we do haveContinue reading “Exploring Rajgir: A Journey Through Bihar’s Spiritual Heart”
