2. Overview
“Wandering” and “Wondering.” These are the two
things that a traveler does. From the strange lanes
and by-lanes of an old city’s contours to the vast
expanse of unexplored beaches to trekking in the
mighty Himalayas, I just love to travel everywhere.
Over time, I started to collect and collate these
experiences through writing and photography. It
initially started as a personal blog, but gradually
expanded into multiple other domains including
major travel websites, newspapers and books.
This portfolio brings together all the work in these
fields that I have done together in this space so far.
Take a look, provide your feedback, and let me
know if we can work together.

Wandering, Wondering:
There is something surreal about a red moon rising
over the snow serenity of the Garhwal Himalayas. It's
something that can only be experienced, never be
expressed in its entirety.
However, the essence of travel can be captured. The
purpose of this blog is and will be to capture that
essence.
In parallel, this blog also chronicles things that we
generally overlook in the mad rush of life. A quaint
little place in the midst of a buzzing metro evening. A
century old abandoned jetty in Pondicherry. A place
"without a shape“ and more.
