Madhav @7
Madhav just turned 7! He has grown taller yet not an inch wider! He is smarter, naughtier, yet he remains the apple of everyone’s eye, including his sister’s, though she will fiercely deny this! Ha! Sibling rivalry! Not a day goes by without the 2 squabbling and skirmishing, pinching and pulling one another’s hair, complaining … Continue reading Madhav @7

Binsar , Uttarakhand

On our way, we stretched our cramped legs … Continue reading Binsar , Uttarakhand

Hawkers were selling colorful knitted shoes, … Continue reading Nainital, Uttarakhand

We can't hang out with friends and family. We can't travel. We … Continue reading In the time of Coronavirus
Mainland China- Restaurant Review
I think it was watching the movie "102 Not Out" that sparked our interest in Mainland China. There's a scene where the main characters all go to this fine-dining place to celebrate a milestone. It looked tempting. We'd never tried this before even though we'd passed by it so many times on our way to … Continue reading Mainland China- Restaurant Review
