Machu Picchu
One of the wonders of the world and an icon of Incan prosperity, Machu Picchu is an architecturally endowed city miraculously built on top of a mountain. I am watching the Condor-shaped construction from the adjacent hill - Huayna Picchu. Probably one of the highlights of my travels...

Detroit Skyline, and icy Detroit river: Viewed from Windsor, Canada on a cold February afternoon
I was in the automotive capital Detroit, Michigan, USA last weekend. There was Valentine’s day too, and one might wonder what I was doing in Detroit, a city infamous for intolerance, crime, racial segregation and an overall decay since the inevitable collapse of the automobile sector. I don’t know the extent to which any of that is true.
Well I had a lovely time, spending the gloomy snowy weekend eating, drinking, sleeping and getting pampered. Here are some not-so-glamorous pictures of the city.
There are rows of broken, unkept, dilapidated houses, just outside downtown
Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament. (Note the emphasis on ‘Most’, since there are “Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament” in other cities of USA)
Downtown Detroit
Taking down a building right in the heart of the city. There are several abandoned buildings around
Streets in the business district were empty although it was the lunch time
Fist of a champion
The municipal building
I haven’t been posting for a long time for a number of reasons but I assure you that I’m well and back in action. I received several emails and comments asking me if everything was okay – yes it is! Thanks for checking in! I’ll be checking out my reader soon.

New York City – Manhattan skyline. (April, 2008)
I’m going on a short trip to New York City and Chicago starting tomorrow. I’ve scheduled posts for a week or so – something that I am testing for the first time because somehow I have this hangup about the concept of blogging which I feel should be more like food fresh off the market for immediate consumption rather than canned or frozen stuff for scheduled use. But others argue that it is a good idea to keep the blog ‘active’ and if that means scheduling a post for the future, so be it.
So while I checkout New York city and Chicago, I won’t be visiting your blogs or replying to the comments here.
btw, if you haven’t already, check out my new Priyank.com homepage, my updated About page, my personal blog and the Photo gallery.
Have a good week!
Cheers!
PS: I am meeting 2 blog-friends on the way. Send me a message if you are going to be around.

New York City – Manhattan skyline
Thats right. What did I do this long weekend? I went to New York City. Got soaked in the NY spirit for three-and-half days straight and that left me thirsty for more. It was too crowded due to the Easter Holiday. But that made it excitinger.
I’ll post some pictures of touristy places such as the Central Park, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, WTC, Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square and, the Broadway ofcourse
cheers.
