Video Review We visited Jim Corbett National Park in October this year after 9 years. Corbett National Park is a thickly forested region in the Kumaon region in the foothills of Himalayas. The national park is India’s prominent tiger reserve and named after Jim Corbett, the famous tiger hunter-turned-conservationist. This time, we stayed at CorbettContinue reading “Corbett Wild River Access Resort”

Leela Raviz @ Samudra Beach, Kovalam
Video Review Prev After a night’s stay at Hotel Marine Palace in Hawa Beach, we moved on to the more secluded Samudra Beach in Kovalam. This beach has just two or three resorts and is on a cliff so you get an entirely different experience from Hawa Beach. We stayed at the Beach View VillasContinue reading “Leela Raviz @ Samudra Beach, Kovalam”
Hotel Marine Palace Kovalam
Video Review Last month, we stayed at Hotel Marine Palace in Kovalam for a night. This hotel is located on Beach Road and has a good view of the Hawa Beach. Though the exterior is pretty unassuming, the room itself was spacious and well furnished. We had a glorious view of the sunset on HawaContinue reading “Hotel Marine Palace Kovalam”
Thursday Hops #21
This week’s Thursday Hops is dedicated to the ongoing farmers’ protest against the recently introduced farm laws. I won’t go into the nitty-gritties of the laws as I’m not really an expert on them. But just think, if the very farmers that these laws are claiming to protect are protesting against them, then there mustContinue reading “Thursday Hops #21”
Thursday Hops #20
Last week, we went to Bangalore to visit my sister. This was our first flight since the lockdown. I must say airlines are doing their best to maintain social distancing and sanitization norms. No contact check-in and boarding, alternate seating near boarding gates, gowns for the middle seat passengers, face shield, mask and sanitizer forContinue reading “Thursday Hops #20”
Thursday Hops #16
As I mentioned in my previous edition of Thursday Hops, we were living in an East Delhi colony when my son was a little boy of five or six. As the colony had originally been unauthorized, there were not many parks or open spaces there. So I used to take him to a park inContinue reading “Thursday Hops #16”
Thursday Hops #15
This week I went to visit my in-laws. Their house is located in a small colony in East Delhi, and they have been staying there for the last 45 years or so. This locality was originally an unauthorized colony, which basically means there was vacant land lying around and someone came along and put upContinue reading “Thursday Hops #15”
Thursday Hops #14
This week, I stepped out to buy an outfit for a family function next month. I was quite excited, as I was visiting a shopping mall after a gap of nearly eight months. I enjoy a shopping expedition even normally, but due to this long, Corona-induced abstinence, I was determined to savor every moment ofContinue reading “Thursday Hops #14”
Thursday Hops #13
So it’s Thursday, and time for the 13th hop! Like the previous hop about Mukteshwar, this one is also from my hubby’s recent trip to Uttarakhand. More specifically, it is about a local jharna (mountain spring) in a place called Sat Tal, or Seven Lakes. This is a perennial spring, though its volume does varyContinue reading “Thursday Hops #13”
Thursday Hops #9
Thursday Hops #9 is about this mysterious structure in our complex. No one knows what it is meant to be. Here is the bird’s eye view of the structure. What to do you think it represents? Among residents, it is known as the supertree, the inverted umbrella, or simply “that thing in the middle”. WhenContinue reading “Thursday Hops #9”
