Sabadell, Catalonia’s second biggest town, does not come in the news very often. Just twenty kilometers from Barcelona, Catalonia’s capital and biggest city, it is the quintessential step daughter that was never treated at par. Neither does it have Barca’s glitz, nor glamour, nor its touristy appeal. It certainly does not have Lionel Messi. Why,(…)
It is a cold day in Moscow. The five member group has been standing behind the building for two hours now. From time to time, one of the men clicks a photograph. In a cold Russia, Decembers are bleary and not many are on the streets. The group is not noticed. The building, Mercury City,(…)
A mist descends from the sky and slowly swirls around the carriage. The horses pick up pace, not because their driver is pulling tighter at the reins, but because they are as nervous as him. The carriage rattles along, spraying the dust and stones in its wake, as it moves rapidly through the only(…)
It is the year 736 AD. Dust flies from the barren land, as a mob of turbaned riders on galloping horses trample down everything unfortunate enough to lie in the way. Suddenly, the head raises his sword and all men and steeds stop obediently. The leader’s horse tosses his head in the air and neighs(…)
It all started with a tring, a tring tring perhaps. Or maybe not, because mobile phones are not landlines. So, it must have gone ‘Mauja hi maujha’. Some of us then went on to say hi. “Hi, I went through your website and read about the Delhi Heritage Walks that you conduct. Which one do(…)
Why should we go to Antarctica? Open a travel forum, and they shall tell you ‘for the ice capped glaciers, for the Emperor Penguins, for the unusual and pristine landscape and for its virgin nature.’ But is that only why we want to visit a land, where the weather can change in a matter of(…)
In the November of 1938, a man took a train from Königsbronn to Munich. When he reached there, he made his way to Löwenbräu, a historic beer hall. As he weaved his way through the cavernous underground hall, all around him men were raising their mugs, cheering and lauding a mustached man standing in the(…)
The first time I heard the word Argentina was while my father was watching a football match on our fourteen inch television, and I was sitting under his arm trying to do what men did. Watch the game I mean, not admire his armpits. They were running, all of them, in their striped white and(…)
The Hauz Khas village is still one of Delhi’s prettier areas. As most of my friends say, “It really does not look like Delhi at all,” with small French cafés, Lebanese and Oriental restaurants jutting out on both sides of one long-winding, thin road. Art galleries and stores selling vintage Bollywood posters too push their(…)
Disclaimer: For, one day, we shall have kids, and this is how they shall learn history. The Viking Fire Festival? Well, let us first gather some perspective, eh? There is a lot of noise in this world, kids. Some countries wanting oil, some countries not wanting to give oil; some countries wanting more lands, others(…)
Can you just step out of your house one day, stand on the road watching the cars pass in a blur, and believe that you can travel across the world just through hitchhiking and asking people to let you stay in their houses? Surely one can’t really cross the world only depending on the assistance(…)
As a young boy growing up in what seemed to be a pretty school in Noida, I had the greatest belief in the theory of true love. The theory was then put firmly into practice when all of twelve years old and no facial hair to speak of, I fell for that loveliest of creatures(…)
It’s raining cats and dogs in Delhi, people. The rain gods really seem to have descended upon us, unlike the rest of their brethren who are supposedly in Allahabad right now for the Allahabad Maha Kumbh Mela, what is billed as the largest and greatest religious gathering on the planet. Astonishingly, the 2013 festival is(…)
When I was in college, I would never consider buying a holiday package from a travel company. Mostly, my friends and I would travel to a destination taking a bus or train. When we’d reach, we’d take an auto and look around to find a cheap yet decent hotel and then for the remainder of(…)
1) Well, chances are that the dates you shall choose to visit the festival are over the Republic Day Weekend. But let’s explore your options eh. If you are in Delhi, the other interesting event you could be part of is the Republic Day Parade Celebration. Now since you were never the brave sorts,(…)
New year’s right next door, and it is that time of the year again - no, I did not mean that time of the year when you feel cold. No, not even when you get drunk and party all night on new year’s eve. What i was talking about was it’s that time of the(…)
So, you have decided that you have had enough action in 2012, and that anymore and they might just put your name in the Hall of Fame next to Jenna Jameson and err forgive me, but I do not know any male porn stars. Or maybe you believe that what happens on the first day(…)
