A Railway Station Called Warora

A Random Railway Station: Warora I don’t think I have said it enough time that I love traveling by trains, it is by train travel one gets to see the Middle India or the real India. The little joys of train travel can only be experienced and not explained. One of the new small fun I enjoy is getting down on random train stations where the train stops due to some reasons. It could be due to a red signal, or it could be technical halt or whatever. Many times these stations come in night and I don’t even [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

Let us spread some positive news and actions: SoCh

An Evening well spent: SoCh a breeze of positivism We are so used to hearing all kind of negative news, that anything good, positive is totally lost in the cacophony of negativity around us.

Sunset in Tadoba

Sunset in Tadoba: Stuck  We have a saying in North India, “Aasmaan Se Tapka, Khajoor main Atka”, losely translated it mean: “Fell from sky, but got stuck in the date palm tree”.

The sun almost appears to be stuck in branches, hence my remembering ” Aasmaan Se Tapka, Khazoor main Atka”, what do you say? More posts in Tadoba series: Telia Tiger Cubs Also linking the same to [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

10 tips for safe travels in Delhi

10 Safe Travel Tips and one cool app- Smart Suraksha We have lived in some of the most wonderful cities in India and traveled to more locations than I have written about.  There was a time when Delhi was considered to be unsafe for women while cities like Mumbai and Kolkata were considered to be safe for women.

A Soap Foam like bug: Spittlebug

Spittlebug: The Soap Foam Bug A few days ago I wrote about our visit to the Nature farm where they grow organic food and do not use any chemical pesticides. While walking on the farm I noticed a small foam kind of thing on one of the plants. It was as if somebody was washing clothes and dropped some soapy foam there at best or somebody had spit at worst.  As it was just below a wild flower it was looking rather out-of-place. I clicked a few pictures and was wondering what it could be. I remembered something called Foam [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]
