World Tourism Day
Rachakona Fort
After months of being in a lockdown, it made perfect sense to head out to a place which is far from the madding crowd, largely free from pollution and boasts of great views all around.
MY LATEST PET PEEVE
A while back I'd written about a pigeon that had a less than satisfactory interaction with my car. The car didn't feel too bad for sure and I felt a bit of annoyance but didn't let it bother me much since there are way more pigeons than there are cars in this world. Or it... Continue Reading →
And Poof! It was gone…
I really don't like pigeons. They are nature's poop-factories and the bane of statues everywhere.

He has hopped all over the country before retirement and taken us with him. And while many don't like... Continue Reading →
All Roads Lead To…
Kondapochamma Sagar Reservoir! Read about the place here. Ever since the papers published news of a newly inaugurated reservoir in the outskirts of the city, hordes of Hyderabadis have been heading out with with that target in mind- Kondapochamma Sagar or bust! The roads were a veritable showroom of SUVs and MUVs all the way... Continue Reading →
The Throwback Blog Post
I know the references to Corona-impacted travel have been overdone, but with no clarity in sight about future travels, modes of recreation etc people are harking back to the good old days. Sadly for some of us they were just a few months ago. Check out my posts on my last trip here and here.... Continue Reading →
The Feathered Ones
When you're lucky enough to spot flamingoes, painted storks, pelicans and herons all in the same frame.
Random. Structured. Haphazard. All Me.
