Along the Bund on the Puxi side of the river Huangpu, I was flanked by a bunch of artists
who said they would sketch my portrait for a negotiable price. Obviously, I looked like a
tourist sporting a camera, gawking at the pretty lights and still looking very
un-Chinese. Since I had...

Hampi is like a different land and that’s what makes it unique besides the ancient
temple structures and ruins that adorn it. While most tourists prefer to take a guide, I
would recommend exploring the area alone and preferably on your own two legs. For longer
distances one could hire...

There’s a charming little sub-culture town in Manali called old-Manali. Apparently, in
the ‘70s, hippies that traveled to India from all over the world settled down here.
During the summer season one can rent a room and live in this community, in the winter
though, the town is...

Solang Valley is breathtakingly beautiful especially in winter with a 360 degree view of
snow mountains. Besides the Mountaineering Institute, Solang is one of the best known
destinations in India for skiing and other winter sports. Rumour has it that professional

On a whim, I decided to catch a bus to Gokarna one Friday evening. It was off season, but
still difficult to get a last minute ticket. As luck had it, I managed to get a KSRTC seat
just a few hours before departure. There are always interesting people going to Gokarna
and sitting on...

There has hopefully been a crackdown on this by now, but when I was in Beijing a couple of
years ago I had an unpleasant experience. While breaking some money, I was given a fake
100 Yuan note. Like a naïve tourist person (the best victim), I only realized much later
how different the...

I have a fetish for German bakeries and in Bangalore what better place could there be than
the café at the Goethe-Institut (Max Mueller Bhavan). I went there to check out a film
festival and lo and behold, ended up at the cozy café on the top floor. The building
itself is artistic,...

Soon as I heard there was a new donut shop in town, I made a dash for it. The Donut Baker
is an international brand which came to India last year. There was a small branch outlet
nearby which wasn’t as impressive as I thought it would be. The variety of donuts
wasn’t as great as I...

Chinese is a tough language to speak because depending on the intonation (rising, falling,
flat etc) one word can have up to five different meanings. Very few local people speak
English or other languages and what little engrish they do speak is most often their own
dialect. The best...

The Grand Place has some of the best architecture I have ever seen. There’s a pleasant
charm in just standing in the middle of the cobbled Square observing such intricate art.
Legend has it that the builder of each of the houses tried to out-do the other, so many of
the carvings and...

Midway along the Simla-Parwanoo highway, about 35 kms from Chandigarh, one comes across a
1.8 km Cable Car ride connecting one hill to another. The cable car is meant to run
between two resorts, the Timber Trail Resort and Timber Trail Heights, but I’ve never
stopped to stay there,...

At some point I got interested in clay, terracotta and pottery and discovered that for
most pottery material, Pottery Town, as the name suggests, is the best destination. The
‘town’ is a few rustic alleys packed to the brim with pottery raw material, local
potters and their ware. On...

This is an old castle, not to big, lying in ruins, in the heart of Brussels city. I found
it while just wandering about and it was hardly about a 10-minute walk form the Grand
Place. It’s surrounded by lush green lawns and on entering, it was something of a museum

It seems difficult to obtain a good musical instrument in Bangalore mostly because of the
price factor. Most people recommend (a) Shopping for instruments at Chennai instead (for
much cheaper), (b) Getting the instrument custom made, (c) Importing from SE Asian
countries (such as...

An Austrian friend was showing me around Vienna and I couldn’t have had better company.
He knew exactly where to go and what to see avoiding as much as possible the touristy
‘sight-seeing’ stuff and showing me around from a local perspective. One of the best

The yummy fried fingers snack in Belgium is called Frites not Fries. It’s a close
cousin, but certainly varies in texture and the way it’s served. It isn’t as deep
fried or lean as the American variation of French Fries. Frites are not necessarily
potato; they could be a similar...

Europe is dotted with cathedrals and just about all of them were built as works of art in
really good taste. While exploring the streets of Vienna, I was awestruck at the character

Baga is actually an extension of Calangute beach closer to the North of the Goa coast. The
white sands of the small fishing beach, its proximity to water sports and touristy seaside
comforts tend to attract a fairly large population of visitors from the West. Most of the
