We were in Vienna, Austria, for three days so we decided to take a day-trip to Salzburg and Werfen — the place from where you get access to the Eisriesenwelt Ice Caves. These are the biggest natural ice caves in the world and are only open during the summer. The trip from Vienna to WerfenContinue reading “Eisriesenwelt Ice Caves and Salzburg”

A Trip Back in Time
This is a work of fiction. I’m from the future. My name is David. The world isn’t what it used to be. I have read several history books. It isn’t as beautiful. There is no hope left. I could see a glimmer of hope in the past. There were several debates about having nuclear weapons.Continue reading “A Trip Back in Time”
Adventures in IKEA
This is a work of fiction. I had come to Malmo in Sweden by train and thought I should visit IKEA, the best furniture shop in the world. When I was younger, my father owned a travel company, and we would often shift to different locations within Europe, Malmo being one of them. Currently, I’mContinue reading “Adventures in IKEA”
Top Three Things to Do in Bratislava
Bratislava is a quaint little city situated in Slovakia. It’s not mainstream in the sense that it isn’t a touristic hotspot for travelers. But I thought it was great. Albeit not as flashy as some major European cities, the people were very friendly, and the historic center of town was beautiful. I would suggest spendingContinue reading “Top Three Things to Do in Bratislava”
What to Do in Barcelona – the Quirky City
I visited Barcelona a couple of years ago. Before this, I had only heard about the football team, so I wasn’t expecting a whole lot. But Barcelona was one of the most unique European cities that I have ever visited. This is mainly due to the architecture designed by Antony Gaudi. He was inspired byContinue reading “What to Do in Barcelona – the Quirky City”

They are part of a clan that loves to see snowy mountains in Bollywood movies. They clearly didn’t realize how cold it would be during the winter. I would definitelyContinue reading “An Arranged Honeymoon”
The Lover’s Lock
Meg and Jim stood on the Hohenzollern Bridge, facing each other in front of an infinite sea of locks. The golden lock that they had put on the bridge’s railing was between them. The letters “M” and “J” written with a permanent marker. It was nearly a decade ago, the last time they were atContinue reading “The Lover’s Lock”
The Busker in Lille
Hello there, I’m a busker. Financial guy by day, busker by night. I sing and play the guitar. People think us folks who sing on the street are poor and have no other means to live. They are terribly mistaken. Music is my passion and reason for existence. Instead of opting for a full-time opportunity,Continue reading “The Busker in Lille”
The Instagram Traveller
I’m an Instagram traveler. I have been travelling the world for over two years. I experience my travels through a lens, the lens of my mobile phone. I experience my travels through eyes, not my own, but those of my followers. I have over 100,000 followers now. I love it when I get more followersContinue reading “The Instagram Traveller”
Kleptomania in Champagne
The first thing I ever stole in my entire life was underwear. I was three years old and my play-mate, Billy, was four. He needed to pea so his mom took his underwear off in front of me and dragged him to the bathroom to potty train. I looked at that underwear which had monkeyContinue reading “Kleptomania in Champagne”
