From the South of India!
Sometimes words ain’t required because pictures are worth more than anything. My tryst with travelling began in 2014, and since then I have been to a lot of states in India.

Temples, Elephants & Rubber Plantation at Thirparappu Waterfalls, Kanyakumari

An evening on the shores of Sangam, Kanyakumari!
Memory is a strange thing. It follows no pattern and works totally, at random like the traffic in Delhi NCR.

Unknown, Untouched & Uncanny -Padmanabhapuram Palace, Kanyakumari

How should you spend time in Auroville if you don’t meditate?
Back in 2013, after completing a huge project, I went on a break for 10 days out of which I decided to spend 3 in Puducherry. After the release of ‘Life of Pi’ in 2012, I have been rooting to experience the ‘French’ touch, they say exists in Puducherry (I am going to call it…
Picture yourself in the Pine forests of Palani Hills, Kodaikanal
Situated in the lap of Palani hills, Kodaikanal is one of the finest hill stations we have. As you drive towards Kodai, the landscape changes gradually with glimpses of Eucalyptus trees against the backdrop of Pine trees. Temperature falls down degree by degree & even before you realise, your hands start searching for a jacket.
