“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.

The open roads, the winding trails and cityscapes all brimming with stories, joys and sorrows of strangers and umpteen sights and sounds to be seen and heard; and memories yet to be forged , Vistas natural and man-made beckon to me with the alluring promise of experiencing the undiscovered, As I go through my […]

I was travelling in Europe for 3.5 months and the main news I came home to was a brutal gang rape in Delhi that shook the conscience of a Nation- Or so I thought. Sadly I was mistaken.
