As someone pointed out after reading yesterday’s post, we all look for a break from our urban lives but land up in retreats that happen to be equally crowded. Thankfully, I’d say, the hills still have some unexplored places but they ask you to be more venturesome and daring. If you are looking for valet … Continue reading Virtually Real
An Urban Escape
I have always found unpeopled roads and unfrequented places tantalizing. You might find it strange but I have often imagined what it would have been like to live in those times when only a handful of people walked the roads.

The old Godrej beauty with a capacity of two-hundred something litre, shining in pristine … Continue reading The Refrigerator’s Tale
