One more pisco sour, please!
The first thing that comes to mind when Peru is mentioned is, of course, Machu Picchu! Maybe Paddington Bear comes in a distant second!! Reality is - like all countries with a world renowned landmark - think Taj Mahal in India, or Eiffel Tower in France - Peru has a lot more to offer!! From... Read...

The Lost City of the Incas
Machu Picchu! The Lost City of the Incas! The ancient Inca stronghold located high up in the Andes! Undoubtedly, the most iconic structure of the Inca empire! The myths, the legends, the mystery - capital city, a religious site or simply a summer retreat? The Incas leave no written records - and cen...

60 hours to get home!
Our original plan had been to get back to Mumbai from Ayodhya, and then fly out that very night - thankfully, we eventually planned for a day's buffer. With the flight from Ayodhya delayed by several hours, it would have been a scramble to get to the airport in time! So we had a nice... Read More...

The Plot
Image courtesy: GoodreadsJacob Finch Bonner is a one-book wonder. His promise has since faded, his second and third novels having sunk without a trace - and he is now making ends meet by teaching in a dubious MFA program in a remote corner of Vermont. Reading through drafts of novels by his students...

The Wife Between Us/The Last Mrs. Parrish
Image courtesy: Goodreads After the success of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train, there has been a glut of these psychological suspense-thriller books. The Wife Between Us and The Last Mrs. Parrish are both part of this brigade - bestsellers with 'shocking twists' and 'dark secrets' - frankly, the...

We made it!!
9 check-in bags, 4 carry-ons, 3 backpacks, 2 adults, 1 child and 1 not-so-happy cat - we have finally made the big move from Suzhou to Peoria!! The flight was oh-so-long - so grateful for the Economy Plus - amazing what a big difference an extra 5 inches of leg-space can make!! Sunny had the hardest...

A Harry Potter theme birthday party
Manasi turned 11 this year. And she has been expecting a letter to arrive from Hogwarts any minute now - she recently finished reading the entire series, and has watched all 8 movies many, many times!! It doesn't really help when I'm as obsessed as she is - to the extent that both of us can recite f...
