10 reasons why Lithuania makes good weekend getaway in Europe

Recently I had the opportunity to spend few days in the cities Kaunas and Vilnius, in a country called Lithuania. Lithuania is one of the least visited countries in Europe as majority of tourists focus on Paris, Spain, UK, Italy, Switzerland etc. Lithuania- specially Kaunas is extremely cheap to travel and stay (in comparison with other EU cities) and offers an experience little different to

Hostel Louise, Brussels. Belgium-Average one

Louise hostel in Brussels was the cheapest option I had while I was searching for accommodation in Brussels. When I checked in map, it showed some 3.5 kms from city centre, so I thought it should be manageable. But after our free walking tour of Brussels, I checked at a tourist information centre as to how to go to this hostel- this is what the staff there said “Why do you people book a

Camkix Deluxe 5 In 1 Lens Kit Review

Every time I try to improve my hand at my DSLR,I often end up being an amateur.With the cameras in our phones getting better and with the desire to travel light every time,we often end up taking more pictures from our phones than our DSLR’s.I wouldn’t say what I write below is in any way a substitute to full blown DSLR lens,but nonetheless very useful to clip on with Digital Cameras,PC’s and SmartPhones (The lenses included in this set can be used with a wide range of cell phones and mobile devices including [...]

Travel at Bhushavali


Vaithamanidhi Temple (Tirunelveli - Tamil Nadu)

Vaithamanidhi is a relatively smaller temple is Thirukkolur built majorly by Chola Pandyas which is a unique lineage of a mix of Cholas and Pandyas! This is also one of the 9 Vishnu Temples called the Nava Thirupathi. The Lord Vishnu here is Lord Vaithamanidhi and his consorts are Kumudavalli & Koruvalli. 

Right opposite the temple, is a little mandapam. All it had were 4 pillars and steps to its platform. Even all those were sculpted completely. And a friend who's a dancer couldn't help but pose [...]

Travel Tales from Mridula


Food Walk in Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi with Delhipedia

In spite of living for a long time in NCR I have hardly explored Old Delhi. So when I saw an invitation from Delhipedia for a food walk in Chandni Chowk I accepted it without hesitation. It was an afternoon walk. I was so excited about it that I didn’t even consider the weather. But the weather cooperated with us. The day was not so hot. So without any further delay let me take you on the food trail in Old Delhi that I did. We had 5 food stops- Natraj Dhai Bhalla Corner, Amritsai Lassi Wala, Gole Hatti, JB [...]

A Wandering Mind


Rishikesh - The Pahadi House Experience

A lantern hung on the branch of a tree , its pale glow just enough to find our way around. Our host rushed to light the fire, and details emerged from the darkness – the neatly whitewashed house, with a pretty garden around, a water pump, the kind I hadn’t seen in years, wickerwork chairs that reminded me of my grandparents’ house,  and a pair of care-takers, busy whipping up dinner for us. However, there was just one thing that Samhith noticed – the old fashioned charpoy (wooden bed) on the lawn! [...]

My 6 Top Travel Destinations for Sports Enthusiasts

Travel is not just about following a guide book and seeing the top attractions. It is about connecting with the soul of a place.

Daughters of Tomorrow


In all fairness…

After my last post, I have been a bit tormented and I still don’t think I will ever understand the reason.

My oldest sister got married a couple of years ago. I don’t know when, where or to whom. She sent a mail inviting me for the wedding and I ignored it because for me it really doesn’t matter what she does with her life. I didn’t think I would gain something by attending her wedding.. I couldn’t imagine having to deal with my family members and all those dramas and the [...]

HOW TO FALL IN LOVE WITH GREEN TEA | MOCKTAIL RECIPES WITH LIPTON

There are two kinds of people in this world, those who live a healthy lifestyle and those who gobble down whatever food they can get their hands on. Sadly, yours truly falls into the latter category. But even with the junk food fueled lifestyle of mine, I can proudly say that I have the healthy habit of drinking green tea regularly and indulging in an active lifestyle.
On the other hand I am always surprised when I find my fruit-eating, yoga-loving friends excluding green tea from their healthy regimes, [...]

I had never thought that people whom I have never met in real life could actually relate to me as a friend reading my blogs, I guess thats the power of Blog World.

Indian Backpacker's Travels


Made in Kashmir – cricket bats !

Little pockets of sunshine filter through the tall trees that slope gently downwards along the green hills .I take in the refreshing change of scenery as I drive through the dusty pathways of old Srinagar town towards the touristy Pehalgam. I warm myself with a hot cup of Kashmiri kehwa and watch the landscape change colours along the way.  In case you are imagining snow – capped peaks and misty rivers,  that is a long way to go. All I see in front of me are some dowdy storehouses and old factories [...]
