So after quite a big break from traveling since my last trip to Sydney, well about 3 months. I went on a trip to Nicaragua and Costa Rica for my thanksgiving vacation 3 days of leave making 9 days of vacation time. The cab played a mix of reggeaton and other latin music but the best part was the remix of "Kabhi to Najar Milao" with a Bachata song, which immediately put a big smile ...

Yet Another Backpacker from India. Notes about my travels and trips and some random observations. Friday, April 18, 2014. Indian Elections: The subtle difference between naivety, ignorance and being outright dishonest. I have been meaning to write a post about my view on the ongoing Lok Sabha elections in India. We are in the middle of more than a month long process, so I hoped to give out my thoughts not as a justification of what happened or didn't happen but more about the process of it. The argument ...

Yet Another Backpacker from India. Notes about my travels and trips and some random observations. Sunday, October 26, 2014. Random thoughts on public companies.

Yet Another Backpacker from India. Notes about my travels and trips and some random observations. Thursday, February 11, 2010. Brasilia is often an ignored city when it comes to tourists visitors who would be overwhelmed by other famous places to visit with associated names like Rio (culture capital), Sao Paulo (business capital), Florianpolis (Industrial capital) and so on. But this Political capital city has its own charm and deserves a visit though may be shorter one than others. Camila also introduce...
