When you consider a holiday to Egypt, it’s practically impossible to imagine any vision occupying your inner mind other than the pyramids.

Our life, it probably began inside of the ocean. About four thousand million years before now. Probably near hot places, like volcanoes, under the sea. And for almost all of that long time, all the living things were water things, living inside the sea. Then, a few hundred million years ago, maybe a little more — just a little while, ... Read More »

The day I started writing this post, was an exact month from the day I left behind everything I knew and moved to the wonderful little town of Pondicherry ... Read More »
I’m neither ashamed nor proud of it, but when I look back at the past few years of my life, I find it incredible that I spent an entire year after graduation, doing absolutely nothing but working my ass off to blisters and drowning myself in a blur of alcohol induced frenzy on the weekends! I blew up virtually all my money shopping ... Read More »

Made up of 885 square meters of lakelands, forests and mountains (or fells, as they ... Read More »
“What strange phenomena we find in a great city, all we need do is stroll about with our eyes open. Life swarms with innocent monsters.” – Charles Baudelaire Honestly, when Mr. Baudelaire pronounced these famous words, he probably attached a lot of aesthetic meaning to it, however, when you think of Mumbai in this context, you can take that quote ...

New Zealand had been on my bucket list since quite some time now. Having heard about the wonders of the place and its people from animate and inanimate sources, I was quite eager to set foot there.
