Eat Your Heart Out In North-Goa

Eat Your Heart Out In North-Goa

I was in Goa last weekend and I’m infused with susegado tinted peace. Yes, that much abused word when it comes to all things Goan. A number of people have messaged me asking for a list of recommendations for great eating joints. And being a vegetarian, I believe that if a place in Goa has […]

The Great Goan Vacation

The Great Goan Vacation

It is surprising how just three days of bone warming sun, soft sand, towering palm trees and chilled breezers with friends who have shared over a decade of my life, can expunge a couple of years of world-weariness. Which is why after a long hiatus, the first thing I felt compelled to write was a […]

Kochi: Familiar And Unique

Kochi: Familiar And Unique

  Kochi sits in the middle of the state of Kerala, in south-west of India. Kerala is ‘God’s Own Country’ as the marketing campaign has been shouting for years. That’s true.

Love In Goa!

Love In Goa!

Before Sunrise

Before Sunrise

Imagine my excitement when I realised that the flight I was on would  be taking off into the Goa sunrise. We took off with the help of runway lights, and as I admired the deserted beaches down below, the sky turned a dark purple.. beckoning me to take a look. As luck would have it, I was seated […]
