While searching for Airbnbs in Chiang Mai, we stumbled upon this charming homestay called Lucklub, nestled within what the description called an artists’ village, just 7 km from the city center. The name ‘Baan Kang Wat’ was mentioned in the description, and it was a place I had never heard of before! Curiously enough, I
To the people I met in Egypt, It’s been nearly a month since we returned from Egypt, but I’m still suffering from post-trip blues. Even now, I wake up thinking about those slow mornings in Zamalek, sipping pistachio lattes from the cozy coffee shop next door, strolling through quiet streets that eventually spilled into the

The train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella is one of those journeys — winding through misty tea plantations, lush green valleys and little mountain villages, with breathtaking views at almost every turn.

Today, you can walk through the same charming old town, discover the house where he is believed to have been born, wander past Gothic buildings, and, of course, eat your way through Toruń’s famous gingerbread.
“The rain stops and my friend departs. I wish he had stayed, I wish the rain had not stopped so soon.” -Ruskin Bond. It was just another day when I met ‘this person’. He came to JNU to play football with my friends. A brief interaction, some words exchanged over alcohol and dinner, and I
“Sunset felucca ride on the Nile? You know how much?” “Egyptian boat ride. Indian price. Brother, come.” “Very cheap price. One hour on the Nile. Only 10 Dollars!” As we strolled down the Nile Corniche in Luxor, the familiar calls echoed around us. By now, nearly a week into our journey through Egypt, we were

‘Knock! Knock’ We were all sitting in our room post-lunch, before setting out for Kibber, when Murli walked in. With him, was this tiny boy who had shining eyes and a mellow smile. “Meet Singye. Yeh mujhe market mein mila”, (I met him at the market) Murli said in his not-so-good Hindi. But his expression
