Travel Diary: Business Trip to China
One of the key highlights of 2014 was a short trip to Yiwu City in China.

Weekend trip to Lavasa
When your daily lives are super active and at times even stressful, I think gifting yourself a weekend getaway can add a lot of punch.

Travel Diary: Super Star Aquarius (Part1)
My fantasy for a cruise holiday started when I was evaluating options for the honeymoon about 2 years back. We didn't want to do the Super Star at that time and looked at the Royal Caribbean.

Weekend in Lonavala
Saturday afternoon was crazy. A sudden phone call triggered plans to head to Lonavala with gang of friends to spend the weekend.

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.
