Exploring Kausani

After sitting through a terribly boring business presentation for four long hours, all I could shout to my colleague and best friend Nisha after coming out, was that I just need to run away or else I will go mad. That is when she suggested Kausani. It is a small hill station in Uttarakhand flanked […]

Cool Kurseong

When the humid weather of Kolkata became a little too unrelenting, a vacation became a must and so, I broached the topic with my younger sister. It seems like she was waiting for my initiative only. The moment I said “we should discuss it with dad” she said “yes, exactly” and before I could proceed […]
