Goafest 2008 – Sun, fun and gun(n)

9 Apr

After a lot of hard selling, pushing and shoving I managed to reach Goa’s Cavelossim Beach to attend the (third) Goafest 2008. This time it was special because two major groups of the industry – Ad Club and Advertising Association of India (AAAI) had teamed up to celebrate the festival and also share the stage [...]

Weekend in Lonavala

4 Sep

Saturday afternoon was crazy. A sudden phone call triggered plans to head to Lonavala with gang of friends to spend the weekend. We dined at Chenab restaurant in Vashi which I had heard had some delicious food – but I was a bit disappointed. (I found this very funny – SALE up to 100% off) [...]

Back from holiday

18 Aug

Nitika and I had a wonderful holiday in Singapore, Bangkok and Hua Hin (a beach resort off Bangkok). This has been a wonderful trip, I have written a lot and captured some lovely shots. Sharing a few quick photos which caught my attention tonight, but hope to sort them all over the week and share [...]

Off for a holiday

4 Aug

The upgrade requests have been sent, the camera memory cleaned up, shopping list tucked into the wallet and work issues washed off the brains. We are all set for a 10 day holiday in Singapore, Bangkok and Hua Hin (an island off Bangkok). Look forward to some great relaxation moments, a bit of shopping in [...]

Kolkata travel diary

4 Jul

Over the weekend I made my second trip to Kolkata. And this time it was a purely holiday trip – no work and no client meetings. And it was truly a memorable and fun trip. The biggest surprise was that we were staying at Taj Bengal and not Tollygunge Club as was informed by Nitika. [...]

Also hope to get some time to see some of the beautiful sights of the city which include the Howrah Bridge, Victoria Memorial – roam the famous Park Street. I will be sharing my experience on Twitter – [...]

Microsoft Office Bus

14 Jun

If you live in one of the major cities of India, you’ll know that most office-goers have a tough time commuting between office and home. Either you get squeezed in public transport or the pain of driving through the traffic wants you to leave the car home and hop into a cab. But here is [...]

Sunday Diary – Mumbai Photo Marathon 2007

26 Apr

Let’s be honest, if it wasn’t for the Photo Marathon then I would have just spent away another Sunday sleeping, eating and reading. But this Sunday was rather interesting and you will see that we attempted a lot of firsts. Mumbai is a funny city, in the place where they say people are so much [...]

Weekend at Matheran

19 Mar

Nitika and I spent the weekend at Matheran. I have put up a review at Mouthshut.com to share my two cents on this place. Meanwhile I am sharing some photos I got back from there. An interesting branch at Echo point. If you look carefully you will see it shaped like a horse’s head. This [...]

Mumbai Taxi Ride

16 Jan

The last few days I have been using the taxis quite extensively. Although they are more comfortable than a bus I think they provide you with a totally different kind of experience. After the bus drivers if there is somebody who can be called the king of the roads it surely is the Taxi Driver. [...]
