Addictive

My last vacation in Thailand was a potpourri of experiences. I was mesmerized by the calm blue water, happy people from all over the world, the 'till-dawn' parties, the 'buckets', the fire shows, delectable spicy food, and last but not the least, smiling local people. I am definitely going back soon.

Of Beautiful Creations & The World

Beautiful Colleen had her dream come true - a perfect beach wedding in Goa, India. And she couldn't ask for more happiness, with her ever handsome loving husband, Daniel. It was wonderful to be part of this exquisite union.

Reaching for the Sky!!!

I have been so MIA that I have lost track of time, days, dates...well 2010 ended with a bang for me though. Traveling can been so refreshing. These are from my trips to China. Nothing like jumping like crazy in strange but beautiful land...wishes for all, for 2011. Cheers!!!







With Michael who is as crazy as myself.

You Know What All Girls Say...

Some cute teens chilling in the sun, before the freezing snowy winter set in.

That Thing That Catches My Fancies!!!

Original Can Become You

It was like a different world altogether...calm, peaceful, laid-back and colorful. I had not imagined a small hilly town like Mcleodganj would accommodate so many people from all over the world, making all feel at home. (Almost) Everybody had a smile on their faces which initially amazed me, as I was accustomed to rude and impolite people in the city. The tranquility rubs on you.

Such are two different worlds co-existing.

I had snapped some hairdos there, for somebody's purpose. But now coming back and going through them reminds me of my dreadlocks I had four years back. Oh I miss them.


You just can't seem to get enough of them.

Romancing The Countryside!!!

Tranquility Over Water

By the Maheshwar ghats.

Feel It Strong!!!

Time stopped
I felt the breeze clinging on
All the words I read
Now faraway like the sea
It cannot be too long when we part
To find pain no more



My fren posing outside our hotel in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh. Its a lovely retreat run by MP Tourism, which nestles right at the banks of the river Narmada. I love how her red tee shirt stood out in the pitch black surrounding and my phone camera giving that rusted effect.

Beautiful India!!!

Location: Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh

Rust and Gold!!!

Fresh and cool breeze.
People with brimful of innocence.
Simplicity couldn't get more reassuring.
Colors were for everyone - young and old.
Vibrant in a rustic world.
Even a day's existence in this beauty is a blessing.



Except for the many poor dogs being run over by cars and trucks recklessly. The ignorant illiterate irresponsible people should not be given the license to drive and kill!!! I protest!!!

Explored a minor rural part of Madhya Pradesh. It was beautiful. From the local markets to the vast plantation fields and the greeneries around. Spent a day at a small town called Jhabua and then 3 days at Maheshwar (famous for Maheshwari silk). Visited the exquisite forts of the Hindu and the Moghul eras at Mandu which is on the mountain top. History is amazing!!!
