• Dhaka Diaries : A visit to the salon

  

  After spending one and a half months here, I finally decided to venture into a salon on the Thursday before last. I’d googled the ones close to home, read the reviews and eventually selected one. However, not too sure about how the salon would turn out to be, but knowing that I would have to […]

• Dhaka diaries: The first fortnight here

  

  As of today, we’ve finished a little more than a fortnight. I have been procrastinating writing this post as I find the hotel room uninspiring. It doesn’t matter that the writing table overlooks the canal or that the big French windows give me an unhindered view of the sky, the brick-red rooftop of the American […]

• Kerala Diaries: Travel- In and around the ‘Queen of the Arabian Sea’

  

  Fort Kochi is called the ‘Queen of the Arabian Sea’. It gets its name from Fort Manuel of Cochin, the first European fort on Indian soil controlled by the Portuguese. I’d been to Fort Kochi in 1995, a long time ago, with my parents. I remember we had lunch there- a fresh catch of fish […]
