The travel bug has bit me again. This time, I’m travelling to Paris. Here’s the story of how this eight month old got his Schengen visa. Last year, when I was still blissfully floating around in Mum’s tummy, my parents decided to take me to Rome. Luckily, I didn’t need any visas then. I floated […]

If you remember, last week I was telling you about how I landed up in Dubai, right into the arms of my cuddly grandparents. When I had decided to go meet them, I had looked forward to getting to know these people I heard about all the time, and who were my ancestors. What I […]

You would have figured by now that I’m not one to stay put in one place for too long. After flying from India to Ivory Coast and then flitting back and forth between San Pedro and Abidjan for pediatric visits, I logged another 13000 kms this month going to Dubai and back (do you think […]

A week in Rome, or Roma as it is locally known, unfolded a lot of beautiful surprises. Yes, I always knew Rome had a lot of history to it, but seeing every bend, every lane, every structure steeped in history was another experience all together.

Poor though it maybe, Africa is a beautiful place, rich in natural resources. When I move away from the hustle-bustle of city life and open my eyes and ears, I realize there’s so much to see and appreciate here. While I try to capture some of it with my pen (or more literally speaking, keyboard), […]
