desi Traveler’s guest posts and appearance in, top India travel blogs lists, print media etc.
I have been thinking about compiling a list of all the posts that other blogs have been kind enough to let me write. While I was thinking about it desi Traveler appeared in print media also so that was added to the wish list.

Prasad, you have become quite the accomplished photographer (and blogger) in the last recent months! I take particular pride in this, as you couldn’t have done it without my assistance with some stateside purchases. ;>
Peter
Thanks a lot Peter, coming from you it is a big compliment.
Not only in guiding me to buy the right gear, but also the time you took to help me understand the basics of photography has really helped me. I hope to do better every passing day and it will be all due to your guidance in both Hyderabad and US when you explained me how each picture you took and what is good or bad about those pictures.
