How to Make Business Trips a Pleasure, not a Hassle

Whether you’re accustomed to business travel or new to the experience, there are plenty of ways you can maintain the excitement in the whole concept rather than it turning into a chore. With many high flyer positions listing ‘business travel’ as one of the requirements, it’s not always a pleasant experience. Saying goodbye to your families for days, or weeks, on end can be heart-breaking, so ensuring that the trip is as pleasant as possible will help you keep in high spirits.  Read more...

A visit to New Zealand is there on my bucketlist. So when I read about Tonga, I just had to add it to my bucketlist along side New Zealand. Or maybe I can club it with my trip to Hawaii? Well, we will see  :)

Ensconced in the South Pacific Ocean, Tonga or the Kingdom of Tonga is an archipelago of 176 islands out of which 52 are inhabited and is perfect for pacific holiday experience. Lengthwise, the Kingdom stretches over a distance of about 800 kilometers in a north-south line located about a third of the distance from New Zealand to Hawaii.(source :wiki)  Read more...

To see India in 7 days would be a challenge that will definitely test anybody’s scheduling skills. Let me try and show you a glimpse of how I would plan a few major cities.

With one of the best climate and weather on offer, this high tech city occupies a high spot as one of the most  eminent places in the list of tourist spots in India.

Saying cheers with Black Dog

It has been a while since I wrote a review. Am not a whiskey drinker but then one day I found a bottle of Black Dog Centenary being delivered by the Black Dog and Ginger Claps team, at my home.

Normally, I need no reason to party and here I already had one! So a Black Dog get-together it was, at my place and for this I called over my whiskey / scotch connoisseur friends.  Read more...

Ladakh – Where we Ate & what we ate!

The Maggi Story Pic: Priya Q

Steamed bun or Theemok; vegetable spinach cheese momos were the highlights of our lunch at the Tibetian Wak Kitchen in the market area; which is a very humble place with basic interiors.

We stopped for lunch at Khalsar on our way to Nubra Valley; a lunch which is better forgotten about than written. We accept that one can’t ask for non-veg food anywhere out of Leh, but the vegetarian dishes can taste nice too!! This was not the case at Khalsar.
