As the title suggests, here you will find detailed personal accounts of my travel.
Wanderlust strikes. But there is COVID and we want to be mindful of our 6 feet distance. We hatch a plan: hit the road, tents and sleeping bags in tow. The Plan: Michigan -> Washington D.C. -> Seattle -> California -> somewhere in the middle of nowhere (TBD) -> Michigan In the light of all …

It is a pleasure to walk to the bus stop each morning as I make my way to office as the wild roses adorn the walkway and their scent fills the air…
A cluster of Tulips at the Keukenhof – the largest flower garden in the world. ‘Which colour do you choose? We have every one of them.’ A flower from Central Asia, first found by the Turks but now the symbol of Holland. Over 7,000,000 bulbs planted each year. As stubborn as a tulip! – for …
Summary of the post 29 April 2012: From 06:30 – 11:21 in the morning, I spent my time trying to catch an elusive train. From 11:21 till 01:00 the next morning, I spent my time dating trains – starting from the steam engines right upto the present day trains. 28 April 2012: I woke up …

I like my newest form of entertainment – walk to the bus stop near my abode, board the first bus that comes rollicking along, go right till the last stop and do a rewind of my chosen trajectory. It is a great way to explore the town when it is a cold, desolate afternoon with …
As I wheel my heavy luggage out of the airport (I have been admonished many a time for it, but I just can’t seem to help), I see a cheery lady waiting at the entrance with a Bosch placard. Confirming that the sign was intended for me, we walk to the Ford hatchback waiting at …
I have this uncanny ability to be the last one to board the flight no matter how early I reach the airport and this time is no different. I quickly wind up my calls to some VIPs in my life and I rush to the boarding gate. Boarding the flight, I remember that mine is …
Welcome to Hampi… the valley of ruins and rocks. I hadn’t even heard of the place. A nice colleague of mine just happened to ask if I would like to join and I just happened to say ‘yes’. It is one of the most unplanned trips I’ve been on… but one that I’ll cherish for …
