We are surrounded by so much bad news that we need an escape to the make believe world of books. Since most of us have to stay at home, I decided on giving my readers a few ideas about books they can read and relax with.

Hi! I love to travel, I love art and architecture, I enjoy cooking, and, more recently, I've been bitten by the photography bug. My family has always respected my need to explore and observe the world outside the window. They always leave the window seat for me, be it in a car, train, or plane. They are always walking along side me when I am out exploring. I am shy by nature so I guess I am happiest when I see, observe, and imagine. When we moved to London, it was a dream come true. This city was one I read about in books and dreamed about as a child. I had visited it many times as an adult before we actually moved here, but being part of the life here has brought me out of my inertia and made me pick up the pen again. My ever present phone helps me capture the images of what I see. One fine day my pen and phone made me sit down to write my first blog post!

Bank Junction is a meeting point of nine streets in heart of London’s financial district. My post describes our walk there on a quiet Saturday during winter.

My Life on the Move
My life has meandered several times on its journey. I have lived on 3 continents, in 3 countries, 8 cities, and 15 homes. Sometimes people don’t understand this lifestyle and ask me how I do it. Some ask me which place I prefer, but I’m always happy where I am that minute. I’m happy if [...]
The Summer Pleasures of London Life:
Walk around the Tower Bridge neighborhood! I am finally getting back to writing my next blog post. Life sometimes takes a few turns and it’s hard to sit down and write. But that does not mean that we have stopped exploring our adopted home. We have done plenty. I have taken hundreds of pictures. Each [...]
Dubrovnik: Walled City. Jewel On Adriatic
I write about my exploration of the city of London in this blog. But this time I am going off my usual topic. I have written about my recent trip to beautiful city of Dubrovnik. I absolutely loved this city and had to put down my photographs and thoughts on my blog. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting them here.
Hidden London : Historic Village of Walthamstow
The first time I heard about Walthamstow was when the Mayor of London declared it as The Borough of Culture 2019. Being new to London I had no idea what it was. Of course I had to google it to check it out. We had planned to visit it during the opening event, but, being [...]
Hampstead: A walk through the charming English village
We were sitting at home on one Sunday during cold January after lunch lethargy. “We need to do something,” said my husband. “Let’s go somewhere. Don’t you have anything on your list?” I was too lazy to move from our warm home to venture out on a cold Sunday afternoon. So without much enthusiasm, I told [...]
