Time to pickup my backpack again… (oops! I forgot that I have a separate travel blog now!) You know, after a while, especially if you are backpacking alone, your backpack transforms into a living being. I’m not crazy, but the other day I discovered myself talking to someone.

The sherut (शेरूत – an Israeli shared taxi) dropped us at the gates of the Old city at 12:53 am (point A). Our destination was point B, across the Muslim Quarter along the narrow …

Sun rays piercing through a blanket of clouds. Looks like a spaceship to me! Picture taken: May 2005, about 13,000ft from the base of Kedar Kantha peak. Here is the travelogue of my [tag]Har-Ki-Doon[/tag] trek. The weather was changing so rapidly that within 30 minutes we had a hail shower, bright sunlight and then a wet spell. Needless to say, …

There are a few islands (called [tag] Toronto islands[/tag]) in the lake to the south of the city and the view from there is splendid. Picture taken on the night of August 5, 2007. It was already 9pm, but the sky was still slightly illuminated.
