Best Places to Travel for Vegetarians

Top Travel Destinations For Vegetarians   I have always thought that India is one of the few countries in world where people are vegetarians by choice.

Pictures of Super Blood Moon

My experience of clicking Super Blood Moon in India Moon is our closest neighbor and satellite.  Moon is also the heavenly body in space where humans traveled to in a spaceship, so I guess I can write about Moon on my travel blog:).

Indian Photography Festival Hyderabad

 Block your calendar from 1st to 10th October for Indian Photography Festival  A vibrant city has more to it than just buildings and monuments and skylines.
