We had finished our meal and stepped outside into the muggy air. I looked to my right as we walked along the path leading way from the hall to see dozens and dozens of men and women giving their time to prepare food, feed, and clean the dishes of the all those who came to... Continue Reading →
Sunday Special – Varanasi, India
India is a large country and quite varied at that. Although I spent nearly a month in India, mainly in the north and in Goa, I have longed to return to this place that brings a wonderful influx of sensations. The abundance of colours, the ongoing din of the streets, and the assault of smells... Continue Reading →
My Top 5 Favourite Countries
Another Top 5 for ya! This time round will be my favourite countries that I've wandered about. This differs from my favorite cities because in many cases I have only seen one city within a country. This in turn does not always give me a feel for the whole nation. Of the countries listed, I have... Continue Reading →
Sunday Special – Rock Garden of Chandigarh, India
While in India, D and I were told that we should see the Rock Garden of Chandigarh. When I first heard of it I immediately thought of a flower-related rock garden since that is what is in my mom's front yard. This rock garden is nothing of the sort. Rather, it is a very cool... Continue Reading →
Sunday Special – Goa, India
Beaches, waves and a hippie-esque laid back vibe gives this former Portuguese colony a unique flair. The smallest Indian state but one that attracts people from all over to enjoy the mix of its former culture with that of its present one. I was in Goa in June which was the start of the rains. And rain... Continue Reading →

Dirty Hands
I had planned to wander around Chandni Chowk but the rains were coming down hard. I was already partly soaked from just crossing the street. I thought it best to head back to the New Delhi subway and back to the hotel. I sent Dempy a message on WhatsApp to see if she wanted anything. She... Continue Reading →
The Map Project – India
Hello! Here is the next and last (but only for the time being I hope) installment of The Map Project. It has been great reading the posts and seeing what these kids have learned. Perhaps when I get back to doing a few short trips now and again they can give their insight once more. I hope... Continue Reading →
India
HELLO! Greetings from India. I've been here a month and leave soon for Dubai. Here are some pics of my time here. I have seen Punjab, Delhi, Agra (Taj Mahal) and Goa.

SUNDAY’S SPECIAL SPOT – GOA
This week's 'hot spot' is none other than Goa, India. Despite being the smallest state in India, it is favoured by many for its beach life, blend of Indian and Portuguese history, pilgrims and lifestyle suited to expats from around the globe. Located on India's west coast, near the Arabian Sea, this tropical haven beckons. ... Continue Reading →
