My first *bushwalking* 👣 ⛰ experience in Australia – Berowra Track at Mt Kuring-gai Chase National Park
It was perhaps the first free weekend since we moved to Sydney. Most previous weekends were about setting up the house (assembling Ikea furniture is quite interesting!), buying stuff for the house or resting after the setting up and shopping. Deepti had to head back to India to finish up some work there and here… Continue reading

Hello (from) Sydney!
It’s been about a month now since Deepti and I are in Sydney. While we’ve been traveling a fair bit over the years, this travel to Sydney is, however, to live and work here! That way, it’s indeed a big move for us. We’re quite excited about living and working in Sydney and look forward to an… Continue reading

Gave A Talk On “Hacking For Travel When You Have A Desk Job” at Inverted Passion Unconference
I had been out of the startup/tech events circuit for a while, primarily because of what you’ll see in the post ahead 🙂 and also because it’s usually the same set of people one comes across in Bangalore. But when Paras tweeted about hosting an unconference with an uncommon format and agenda, it seemed quite… Continue reading

Appeared On A Kannada TV Quiz Show!
(The actual event happened nearly a year back, in Feb 2017. This post though, while written a long time back, was lost in the pile of drafts. Any time is a good time to dust up drafts and publish them, isn’t it? Hence this post!) I got a chance to participate in That Antha Heli (loosely translated… Continue reading

The Solo Trip To Taiwan – Day 1
(Voice in my head: Don’t start off by writing why and how you haven’t blogged for a long time and end up not even posting that.) *Listens to the voice in the head* Turned out that Deepti was traveling to Hong Kong on an offsite with her office folks during the Independence Day long weekend. I… Continue reading

Go Gokarna Gone!
Alright, it has been a long time since I wrote anything here. I have a couple of blog posts in drafts, one on the Ramzan Food Walk in Bangalore and the other one on Top Bollywood Songs of 2013. These are now more like once in a year blog posts, similar to the one on… Continue reading

Celebrating Christmas in Bangalore: 2012 Edition – Part I
Well, nothing fancy about the 2012 Edition bit in the title. It isn’t that I’ve been celebrating Christmas (while being in Bangalore itself) over the previous years and this post is about the celebrations in 2012. Couldn’t think of a better title and hence the title, and this needless explanation at the beginning of the… Continue reading

The Tipu Sultan Trail & The Story of Indian Riches
It all started with Harsha mentioning one day about the nine forts or the Navadurgas that Tipu Sultan built around Bangalore-Mysore. And long before trekking became as fashionable as it is now, we were traveling to interesting places around Bangalore digging (not literally) for stories and nuggets of history. In fact, a lot of the popular… Continue reading

The Nuclear French Kiss
A few days back, I was going through the pages of The Hindu and came across the an interview with Anne Lauvergeon (aka Atomic Annie) , CEO of Areva, the French nuclear giant. I was aware that the French President was visiting India soon and the primary purpose was to sell the French nuclear capability… Continue reading
