Travelling around
Just read Mridula�s piece about her trip to Goa on GoNomad. I and Sajju were planning on taking that very same YHAI trip, but never did. We both keep talking about travelling in India. But somehow all our time seems to just go in visiting family back home in Bombay and Pune. We travelled so …

The long awaited vacation ( Ajanta)
I cherish the act of travelling. It just makes you move beyond yourself. Reach out into the minds of others, teach you that what you think of as your life and what you attach importance to is a small part of this seamless universe. End of last month, start of this month I went to …
