Ratatouille- Trying French Food in Pondicherry India

— We all love to revisit our childhood every once in a while just for the sake of good old days. A very tough task for me as I kind of sort of you know actually what I mean is I like to believe that while I left childhood behind long ago, my childhood never left me. Get it? Don’t worry it is never going to come in an exam. So I watch a lot of animation movies with my kids and every once in a while one gets a movie that one loves to watch again and again.   [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

Bhandara for Breakfast-On way to Kanha National Park

You get a lot of places with food that will make your salivary glands work overtime but normally the hygiene is something you just have to ignore. Let me talk about one such little place we discovered on our trip to Kanha National park in Madhya Pradesh. This was a trip with GHAC and my friend Sunanda Mandavi was leading the group, [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

How and Why to Travel without Ticket on Trains

There was a time when  you had to visit the railway station to book a ticket or go to your friendly neighborhood agent to get a booking.

Freedom Ride- Bicycles For Freedom

As I have written in past philanthropy  in India normally means going to temple to donate soiled currency notes or install fans on the ceilings of Dharam Shala in a  holy town like Benaras. Some more adventurous ones will get a bench installed in a park with the names of their seven generations painted on bench to forever kiss the bottoms of the people using the bench.(Why do people do that to their ancestors?) Some companies have  a robust CSR or corporate social responsibility initiative which in many cases is just an annual photo op kind of event. Tried My Hand At Panning Shots So [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]
