Ubud – Where Nature Beckons

Fear of the unknown.. When I saw Sugi at the Denpasar airport, smiling and waving warmly to me, holding a paper board with my name on it, I was relieved. Solo travelling has its share of fear of the unknown and anxiousness. A friend in Melbourne had recommended me Sugi’s travel company (go_bali_holiday), he was … Continue reading Ubud – Where Nature Beckons

Home Coming…

Ahmed tried to capture the picturesque scenery through his Canon DSLR camera, however everything looked hazy and out of focus, or was it just his teary eyes! Only he knew what he felt inside his heart, at this moment, in front of the Dal lake in Kashmir, standing along the empty pier, the ‘shikara’ (boat) … Continue reading Home Coming…

The Human Touch!

Last few weeks I have been feeling fervently quite low due to several reasons. Mood swings, unsolicited tears, drifting apart in solitude etc. Guess we all go through this phase once in a while in the journey of life. Not everyone is perfect or let’s say none of us are perfect! When I have my … Continue reading The Human Touch!

My Pianist friend – An Anecdote!
