This is my place. Come in, sit down, relax. It isn't always this bad; somedays, it's even worse. Yes, I have baked baby potatoes – and discovered that there is now one more form of potato that I like. Potato baked with herbs, with the skin on is delicious. But I am going to swim. As the kids write these days, I. Will. Swim. Trackback ( 0 ). Comments ( 0 ). Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:.

Trippin': August 2010
http://trippinblr.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Like any good traveller, I have written more than I have seen and I have seen more than I have written." - Disraeli, misquoted :-). Meant that prices and the crowd had as much as quadrupled overnight. Our bleary eyes turned wide when we stepped out of the car. Why were so many people up and about at 5 in the morning? The only protective armor we had was a cloth bag A had brought along. And our elbows. I've often wondered how people get trampled to death in festival melas. Links to this post.

Trippin': The new land of smiles - Impressions from Sri Lanka
http://trippinblr.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-new-land-of-smiles-impressions-from.html
Like any good traveller, I have written more than I have seen and I have seen more than I have written." - Disraeli, misquoted :-). The new land of smiles - Impressions from Sri Lanka. Whoever thought Thailand was the land of smiles and great hospitality obviously did not travel to Sri Lanka. The hot summer sun and the humidity of the island nation was bearable mostly due to the smiles and sweet nature of the people of the island. After all the sun and exhaustion, it was time to relax in Negombo. Tou...

Trippin': Why go to Singapore?
http://trippinblr.blogspot.com/2013/09/why-go-to-singapore.html
Like any good traveller, I have written more than I have seen and I have seen more than I have written." - Disraeli, misquoted :-). Why go to Singapore? Singapore is one of the two (or according to some, 3 or maybe 4) Asian nations recognized as 'Developed Nations', and that reflects in how the only 'beggar' we met over two trips over the last. Do not get me wrong - for someone from India, the place stuns with its cleanliness, good-smelling. Near my sister's home in one part of Singapore. Looks like they...

Trippin': February 2010
http://trippinblr.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Like any good traveller, I have written more than I have seen and I have seen more than I have written." - Disraeli, misquoted :-). Chikmagalur – Time-lapsing in a coffee forest a.k.a. “Write short notes on your weekend trip to Chikmagalur(5 marks)”. Like coffee. Coffee invigorates. Coffee energizes. So we made sure we stayed away from it for two lazy days in the coffee estates of Chikmagalur! There’s a big citrusy fruit we do not know the name of and the largest cucumber I have ever seen generousl...

Close Encounters of the Cultish Kind |
https://misteedawn.wordpress.com/2010/05/07/close-encounters-of-the-cultish-kind
This is my place. Come in, sit down, relax. It isn't always this bad; somedays, it's even worse. Close Encounters of the Cultish Kind. We took our seats, the ‘coach’ took the podium. Most ‘participants’ responded to him like a herd of sheep to the shepherd. Like the People’s Temple must have responded to Jim Jones? Perhaps he thought I was too far out and needed help? I threw a look at him but swallowed my question. What about the rest? LF may make some troubled people (who I guesstimate constitute 89% o...

Personal Discoveries |
https://misteedawn.wordpress.com/2015/03/18/personal-discoveries
This is my place. Come in, sit down, relax. It isn't always this bad; somedays, it's even worse. I realized… that this blog can also be just for me. No one comes here anyway. So in an effort to make my life more fun, I am going to put anything I want in this space. Starting with this one line that scares me, and makes me want to do a little extra everyday. “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives”. I am hoping to bake baby potatoes tomorrow or Friday night. Another first. Trackback ( 0 ). You are...

Trippin': I married a Malayalee
http://trippinblr.blogspot.com/2014/12/i-married-malayalee.html
Like any good traveller, I have written more than I have seen and I have seen more than I have written." - Disraeli, misquoted :-). I married a Malayalee. I married a Malayalee. And that means I get to travel to God's own country multiple times a year. Now, now, for those of you who are beginning to imagine me staring into a deep golden sunset from the sundeck of the family-owned kettuvellam. Cochin maybe India's tourist haven, but for me it is my in-laws place. Every Malayalee goes to their n A. The one...

Trippin': Malaysia - expensive Asia
http://trippinblr.blogspot.com/2014/03/malaysia-expensive-asia.html
Like any good traveller, I have written more than I have seen and I have seen more than I have written." - Disraeli, misquoted :-). Malaysia - expensive Asia. Is Malaysia a developed country? How can the roads be this. I have to confess I was happy to see a few potholes when our affable cabbie took us through some short-cut country roads on our way back to the airport from Malacca. The all-time favorite snack of my childhood. Maybe adopted from the Chettiars who traded with these people from quite a ...
