PeaceHumilityHard-workInclusiveness There’s so much to learn from everything that the Sri Harmandir Sahib Gurudwara, popularly referred to as the Golden Temple, stands for. And it also houses what is arguably the world’s largest community kitchen, which serves ‘langar’ to the devotees, every day, round the clock. Amritsar was on our travel bucket list for a…

What to Eat in Sri Lanka:
My gastronomical journey in Sri Lanka was a great mix, of fine dines and street food and everything in between. The goal was to eat every new thing which came my way. My first pit stop was of course the Ministry of Crab, in the Old Dutch Hospital complex of Colombo. The reservation for this…
Darjeeling Diaries:
It is an undisputed fact that Darjeeling has always been every Bengali’s favorite hill station. And thanks to Bollywood for showing the town in it’s full glory, in movies like Parineeta and Barfi, Darjeeling now has people coming from far and wide.

The name Sunderbans conjures up pictures of the dark, mysterious jungle and the Royal Bengal Tiger for most; but for me somehow, it has always meant a long, long boatride. This winter, as my father planned a two day trip to the Delta, we all were superbly excited. After the long car ride till the…
Lunching By The Lakes
The Lake-city of Udaipur had enthralled me ever since I first saw it. I loved the City Palace, the Jag Mandir, the shops selling the Knick-Knacks, the undulating cobbled streets of Lal Ghat, the hearty thaalis at Nataraj and of course, the eateries lining the Lake Pichola. I consciously took out the time to visit…
