My first Night-Camping-Trip

I just came back from what was my first ever night camping trip. I’m perhaps completely exhausted right now with the amount of physical activity I’ve been through on an April Summer day. But I want to write about it before the excitement sinks in and I fall trap to the regularities of a frustrating [...]

Trekking trip to Maula Ali Dargah

Yesterday morning I went on my first official trekking trip ever! What started as a casual invite from a friend to join her on the adventure, went on to become an unforgettable memory. The trip was every bit fun filled and I learnt how to trek too!
For those of you who are wondering where Moula [...]

Travelling in and around Delhi NCR

Some one new to Delhi might feel it difficult to travel within Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).

My trip to Vizag

I happened to visit Vizag for the first time last weekend. I was there to attend a friend’s wedding on Sunday night. Arrived at 6AM on Saturday morning at the Vizag railway station after an overnight train journey (Godavari Express). The journey wasn’t too pleasant, thanks to the scrimpy side-upper berth (I got that even [...]

Lets conduct our traffic ourselves

I start my bike at home, many apprehensions in my mind as I change gears, zip through the lanes and reach the main road that I take to office. Honking bikers, listlessly parked autos, signal jumpers, brimming city buses, reckless overtaking, lane switching, driving on the wrong side of the road, careless pedestrians crossing roads, [...]
