• Day 1: Arriving at Sikkim

  

  When you need a real break, then you must uproot yourself completely from everything and everybody you know or are accustomed to and challenge yourself by going to the unknown. The unknown teaches…in more ways than you think. P.C. TrekEarth As the car swerved down the winding road, a 1000 meters above sea-level, all I […]

• Send the Kids on Those School Trips Please.

  

  I have never gone on a school trip for reasons best known to my parents. For many years, I thought we were ‘poor’ and that the school trip must have been an unnecessary financial burden on my parents but then when I had some financial sense and understood the expenses incurred on my wardrobe were […]

Secondly, I was sure it would be similar to the the South of India. All tropical […]

David was our guide in the Capital city and rightly so- he was flexible, informative and extremely fluent in English. Hanoi, like all places in Vietnam had wide, good roads […]

• Vietnam Diaries 1: Good Morning , Vietnam!

  

  I landed this morning after a 10 day trip to Vietnam. As I got into the cab on my way home, it seemed like one long, beautiful dream, far, far away; so different from anything that I had fathomed, that it almost seemed unreal. ‘Exotic’ best describes this South East nation-the people, the food, the landscape, the victory […]
