My dad met with an accident recently. Although he didn’t suffer any grievous injuries, unfortunately the same couldn’t be said about my beloved bike which needed quite a makeover. As usual I took out my photography gears while my bike was being looked after. I started with this cute, little gentleman working for the garage, with whom our story begins. He is probably the shyest street kid I’ve ever seen, I’ve seen enough to know that the kids brought up […]

After a failed plan to revisit Savandurga(I’ve posted pics earlier) last weekend due to people pulling out at the last moment, I decided to go on another one of my whimsical trips; looked up a random group on meetup and followed them for a two day trek to the Thirumaleguppi & the Hirumareguppi peaks. Admittedly, I didn’t know much about the place or even which state it was in, but I had more fun on this trek than I’ve ever […]

A week has gone by since I’ve arrived at Siem Reap, and now I’m heading to Phnom penh, the capital city of Cambodia. There’s been continuous rainfall since last night, one can smell the wet countryside from the bus I’m traveling in and feel extremely lucky so far that the daylong rainfall, as forecasted, visited us only post nightfall.

Relax and recharge before you have to saddle up for that new business project that will give you your next big break! When […]

During one of my backpacking trips to the temples of Siem Reap, Cambodia, I came across this Khmer girl who was selling some hand made trinkets around the temple. For some reason she decided to leave her mother behind and started to follow me and my friend around the entire temple. After a while, probably after realizing that I was safe enough to approach, she just jumped in front of me, took my tripod away from me and handed me […]

At about 10:30 PM local time, after two sleepless nights and a long layover at Kuala Lumpur, we finally arrived at the Ngurah Rai International Airport completely exhausted, and dying to get some shut eye. Given that none of us spoke the regional language, I wasn’t betting on the night to end on an easy tune either. After ignoring the outrageously priced international SIM cards at the airport and the nosy taxi drivers waiting on the tourists, we located the […]
