It is the end of the year already! It is unbelievable how fast time flies (however, sometimes when you are stuck at your desk 12 hours a day, you want that time thing to fly by super fast!) I love the feeling you get at the end of year, thinking about how things were, sometimes […]

Five Bucket List Vacations
Work is getting so hectic and all I can think about is chucking everything and hitting the road. No wonder this week’s Friday Five (hosted by Courtney, Mar and Cynthia at Eat Pray Run DC, Mar on the Run and You Signed up for What?!) topic is proving to be such a breeze to write.. all the […]
The Stories That Are… Vol. 8
This time around on The Stories That Are.. we’re actually covering a bit of this and a lot of that… *pun intended ;)* 1. 10 Signs That You’re Addicted to Blogging by Angie of SilverSpoon London – 10/10!! I kid you not! Not that I needed any conformation, but a reality check from time to […]
Turkish Textures
This post, in many ways, is a continuation to a post I had done earlier called ‘What do the Walls Say?’ Although the previous post was more a comparative study between the textures and art of Athens and Hong Kong, this post looks at two cities in Turkey – Istanbul and Bodrum. Although both these […]
A Day In Kos…
It is amazing how we stumble upon places that we never knew existed and end up at one of the most gorgeous places ever. I had never heard of Bodrum or Kos until our itinerary forced us to. I’m so glad that we were ‘forced to’ else we wouldn’t have had the chance to go to […]
The Turkish Foodie.. Part 2
Welcome back to the second part of the The Turkish Foodie. It took me a while to get the drool off my keyboard and now it is ready for another batch of fresh drool as I take you through a few of the other dishes that Viraj and I tried on our trip to Istanbul. […]
The Turkish Foodie.. Part 1
Since the day Viraj and I decided to go to Turkey for a holiday, the only thing on my mind was the FOOD! Having been to Greece before, I knew that the food is going to be absolutely yums! Last year when we went to Paris and Spain, except for dinner one night, we didn’t eat […]
My Travel Personality
I love travelling! Picking up your bags and heading into the unknown… discovering a new place in your own unique way.. it is such a thrill. However, who you are as a traveler, now that is a whole different story. When I read about this month’s topic on the link up that Kelly, Emma and […]
Turkish Tea
Our first afternoon in Istanbul, Viraj and I decided to walk down Istiklal street. We were staying right next to Takshim square and it was but natural to go to Istiklal. We walked through a sea of people and an array of shops which ranged between high end fashion, bars. clubs and street food. Meandering through […]
Lost in Mykonos
Having been to Ibiza last holiday, it was but natural that we go to pay our respects to the ‘party’ island of Greece this time. To be honest, I liked Mykonos a lot more than Ibiza, not because of the party scene, but because the island, especially the city center is so charming. Very typically […]
