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. After surviving immuring eight months of lock-down in Mumbai, right after our wedding, we immediately headed to Patna for a fresh breeze of much-needed ‘break’, saying ‘Hello’Continue reading “A Journey Through Patna: History, Cuisine, and Culture”

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.

Beaches of Maharashtra: Malvan (Part II)
The idea of my trips is always to explore more than a regular tourist and have a more personalized experience as much as I can find. My last trip to Malvan was mostly about going to lesser known obscure locations where you don’t find tourists thronging the place, and that’s the beauty of exploring more, going those extra miles. How do I do it? You have to earn it by being genuinely good, because the world is just a reflection of what you are.

I am sure those who love driving will absolutelyContinue reading “Beaches of Maharashtra: Ratnagiri (Part I)”
Gujarat’s Hidden Gems: Birding and Street Food
This was a completely impromptu trip to the neighboring state of Gujarat to spot some migratory birds in the peak winter of December. The challenging part of bird photography is that you need to reach the right spot much before the dawn, literally, when it is still pitch dark. Thanks to the local auto-rickshaw guyContinue reading “Gujarat’s Hidden Gems: Birding and Street Food”
