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 tissue and relegate it to the back of […]

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 North […]

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 like […]
