PARIS : Discovering the Soul of the Seine
After the mentally challenging half-yearly exams in September, I was desperately in need of a break. Since childhood, there was one place in the whole wide world that I dreamt of visiting more than anything else – Paris, no matter how clichéd it might sound. The image of the Eiffel Tower had been etched in…
HAVELOCK – A TROPICAL PARADISE IN ANDAMANS
After our time in Port Blair, we proceeded to the Phoenix Bay Jetty to catch our catamaran to Havelock Island (now called Swaraj Dweep).

Although we had booked seats on the Gonautika ferry,…

Hanoi – Dive into the Soul of Vietnam’s Vibrant Capital

HAUNTED PLACES IN KOLKATA – A DATE WITH THE DEAD !
If you ask me, which genre of books I love reading the most? Without a blink I would say SUPERNATURAL FICTION. It lights me up as I like the thrill of being scared, but it doesn’t excite me as much as real stories about paranormal encounters do. I love the spooky feeling of crossing a…

GOA – The Melting Pot Of Indian & Portuguese Culture
Howdy ! I have been away for quite a long from the cyberspace. In fact this time I don’t have any acceptable excuse to give.

JAIPUR – A LABYRINTH OF FORTS!
Bored of dull colours and muted tunes in life??!! Head to Jaipur – the capital of Rajasthan. My first impression of Jaipur was that it’s only an eclectic mix of vibrant colours and cacophony of beeping two-wheelers and honking auto-rickshaws but in just a few days my opinion about the city changed manifold. You…
