Travel Update–Colours of Malaysia

Its been almost nine years since I last visited Malaysia and I did not even have a digital or a SLR camera then. So I was quite happy when Malaysia Tourism and Malaysian Airlines invited me as a blogger to be one of the representatives of Indian media in their event, Colours of Malaysia. Its largely to do with cultures and people which is right up my forte. So, I look forward to telling you more about it shortly. I have declined three international invites this year due to unavoidable reasons and am glad this is happening. Catch up with you soon.. And here is my Skywatch entry..watch this space and see where I land ..

Flamingos in Singara Chennai

 

I made a quick trip to Chennai aka Madras last month on the inaugural run of the double decker train between Chennai and Bangalore and here is what I found. On a dull morning, we saw several flamingos in the marshes of Pallikarnai. This is a first for me as I have not seen flamingos before in Madras.

Skywatch this Friday..a dawn in Srinagar, Kashmir

Rains and thunderstorm the greeted us the afternoon we reached Srinagar, Kashmir. And this is what the morning after looked like on Nagin Lake – but there is a beauty in the mist, the gloom, the darkness and the sun fading away in the waters
