I have just returned from a brilliant climbing trip in Nepal, successfully summiting Lobuche East, and both before and after my climb, I stayed at the Ramada Encore in Thamel. This hotel was a great choice, both location-wise and comfort-wise, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Comfortable, spacious, A/C …
I have travelled with White Magic for almost 10 years, having adventures and making amazing memories, and I’ve reviewed them here before. If you search in the blog for “White Magic” you’ll find a handful of reviews over the years, but here’s a link to my very first review, after …
I’ll cut to the chase – fellow Dilliwalas go, go, go to this fascinating exhibition! Trust me, please, and just go. It is one of the most restful, relaxed and intriguing exhibitions I’ve ever been to, though, yes, technically Van Gogh 360 is not an “exhibition” in the formal sense …

It’s been almost 5 1/2 years since my last visit to the Crafts Museum in Delhi, at which point I vowed to go there more regularly. So that didn’t exactly go according to plan now, did it? Anyway, I girded up my loins today, battled truly vile traffic jams, and …
Today I learned that the Thai word “chom” means to see, watch or look. And since “Chom Arun”, the pretty restaurant where we had lunch today, is situated bang opposite the iconic Wat Arun, on Bangkok’s Chao Phraya river, the name couldn’t be better chosen. I can imagine this being …
So, here’s the thing. The weather and pollution in New Delhi (where I live) were so bad today that the scheduled Sunday long run had to be converted to a session on the treadmill. Feeling very despondent – I’ve been injured, had major medical problems this year, and then there’s …
I have just returned from yet another wonderful trip to Gangotri 1 with White Magic, and in my other, personal blog, I’ve written a report of my climb which was wonderful despite my not summiting. This review, however, is not about me, but all about WM and their service. Spoiler …
