Tryst with nature Posted on August 7, 2007August 7, 2007 If I write a book, I’d like to do it in a quiet place like this one. Sitting outside a cottage, looking over a beautiful mist covered valley. Watching the rolling hills and catching a glimpse of a shimmering lake in the distance. Enjoying a hot cup of coffee and the company of Deku (the cute dog we adopted for the weekend). It was an outing with the girls and four of us set off to spend some time at this off-the-beaten-track village in Tamil Nadu. It was magical. One of those places you don’t want to tell anyone about because you don’t want it to lose it’s quaint and quiet charm. And you definitely don’t want to see it teeming with truck loads of loud touristy families with a bunch of badly behaved children. No… this is one place that will go un-named. Just a few pictures to capture it’s beauty. Some places, I feel, are best left un-discovered!

Of gastronomy, gluttony and much gladness Posted on January 29, 2010January 29, 2010 It was a different experience in Mumbai this time around – we played tourists to the hilt.

I had little time to stand and stare back then.

No rafts, just people Posted on July 28, 2005July 28, 2005 This weekend’s trip to Seetha Nadi was great fun. Short, of course. 2 back-to-back 12 hour bus journeys would have been back breaking to say the least, but our enthusiasm levels made it bearable. My camera died in the raft. We got stuck at one point. Water gushed in.

Weekend @ Mahabalipuram Posted on August 28, 2006September 1, 2006 Boats going out to sea early morning… Sunrise at Mahabalipuram So a friend and I drove off to Mahabalipuram last weekend. It was a nice scenic drive via NH4. We started off at 5 am in the morning (after sleeping at midnight, such good children we are).
