Staying @Hansar in Bangkok

We zeroed on in staying at Hansar during our short 3 days stay at Bangkok after reading the fantastic reviews about the hotel. Staying @Hansar: The first sight was a quite disappointing – looked like a very small hotel, darkly lit, a very business-like lobby – quite a bit of […]


Siam Niramit In Bangkok Is Worth The Time & Money

We were a little sceptical about going to Siam Niramit, for we feared a tourist trap in the name of Thai culture extravaganza. But thankfully, our fears were ill-founded. A short drive from the city-center in Bangkok, gets you to the venue. They have made it like a small Thai […]


Sightseeing in Coorg (Karnataka, India)

A small little town Coorg is, but offers quite a bit of options for both tourists and seekers of quietude. We try to balance both and here’s what all we saw and experienced in the three days that we were there: Playing with elephants at the Dubare Elephant Camp: We […]

How About Spending An Entire Afternoon @South Bank, London?

This May, we were in London for 2 days and 2 nights. Now, 2 days and 2 nights is abysmally less for a city like London about which one has read so much; the city that has been so eulogised in books and poems, the city that has one of […]


Craving for a Vada-Pav from Dheeraj’s Vada Pav, Ville Parle (Mumbai)

Mumbaikars will swear that monsoons have ARRIVED!!! What with the near non-stop downpour, resulting traffic snarls, submerged roads, pedestrian woes, it’s almost as though it’s July. That’s when the rains are this incessant. But this year seems to be different… The rains that started Friday afternoon is continuing. Unabated. The […]


How About An Evening In India’s First Nightclub, Mocambo in Kolkata?

Park Street in Kolkata is synonymous with nightlife and dining … and opulence. It’s still the place for the most happening nightlife (especially during Christmas & New Year) like Tantra, the best pastries & cakes at Flury’s; iconic restaurants like Peter Cat, Trinca, Moulin Rouge … and of course the […]


3-day Highlands & Isle of Skye Tour in Scotland

We set out on a 3-day tour of Scotland and its beautiful countryside from Edinburgh. Going past Glasgow, reaching the famed moors, the many castles, one by one, the Lochness and its legends, staying over at little hamlets at cosy Scot homes, it had been one memorable trip, made more […]

Café Madras – Mumbai’s BEST South-Indian Restaurant

And it’s not only us who say this. Times Food Guide, Times Now, CNN-IBN and now, Trip Advisor too finds Café Madras to be the BEST. One that churns out Mumbai’s best Dosas and Idlis and Uppmas and Uttapams. And Sheera too. We love their Pineapple sheera! On our way […]
