I don’t know where I’m going But, I sure know where I’ve been Hang­ing on the promises In songs of yes­ter­day An’ I’ve made up my mind I ain’t wast­ing no more time But, here I go again Here I go again It’s been quite a year. But it’s time to wrap it up in […]

You must go to Fontain­has, said my friend Albert on the phone. It’s a her­itage area where you can still see influ­ence of Por­tugese archi­tec­ture. He’s a true blue Goan so I couldn’t pos­si­bly not lis­ten to him! On our last day in Goa, we headed to this old quartier of Pan­jim beside the Ourem creek. […]

I feel lucky to have been in quite a few places this year. And espe­cially to wit­ness some of these mem­o­rable sun­sets that will for­ever live in a cor­ner of my heart!

It’s one of my most favourite times of the whole year — Christ­mas and New Year! The bright shin­ing stars light up the houses and streets every­where, there are chil­dren singing car­ols and there’s a gen­eral spirit of bon­homie every­where. In Goa right now, enjoy­ing a chilled out Christ­mas. Yes­ter­day, took the whole day and explored […]

Where on earth can you wit­ness hefty buf­fa­los run­ning 100 metres through mud and slush in under 14 sec­onds? The answer folks is a few hun­dred kilo­me­ters away from the city in Man­ga­lore dur­ing the Kadri Kam­bala fes­ti­val! And that’s where three of us — Venkatesh, Sandeep and I headed on the Dec 10–11 weekend. […]

(Update — Decem­ber 21: After more than a week, they finally emailed the ticket! Phew. That was one long wait!) For all their promises to ensure cus­tomer sat­is­fac­tion, it’s hard to under­stand why they con­tinue to be so slack! This hap­pened to me on Mon­day while book­ing an online ticket. The page timed out and I didn’t […]

It was an inter­est­ing week­end, to say the least. Mon­day comes around again and I’m left with mem­o­ries of the lovely seaf00d (we tried every­thing from prawns, king­fish, seer fish to pom­fret!), the beau­ti­ful sea­side by Bekal and the end­less walk along the ren­o­vated fort, the sun­set we caught on the way back to Mangalore. […]

I have no idea how Mon­day turned to Fri­day, but it just did! Mon­day evening I caught up with three girl­friends and their 3 moms and had a lovely seafood din­ner at Sanadige’s. Unfor­tu­nately, there wasn’t enough time to fly my mum in to join the party :) Have you folks tried it yet? If you […]
