Google Map tracing my journeys

Finally!! I have been able to use the Power of Google Maps to illustrate my own journeys. I will slowly but surely add more links to the map and to my blog. So Watch on.

Once you click on any of the spots on the map you'll have to scroll down to see images from that place. And zoom in to see places that seem to be clubbed together.

Blogging - London

Just got back from a great weekend in London. I had been there to meet my brother and to see the greatest city on Earth (actually, I’m not 100% sure cos there always is Bombay).


Heres some of the usual touristy stuff

Here's some random snaps that I took during my One Night Marathon Monopoly Trip of London.


This one is here because I think it's a nice snap.

This Marathon site-seeing session wouldn't have been the same without the company of some resident Londoners – Amrita, Avani and Neha… And boy I had a great time…

But I’ve probably been cursed for making them walk so much. Thanks Gals!!! I can’t wait to be back.

And here's the last one for now. Piccadilly Circus has to be for me the best spot in London. I love the lights; the energy it's like this spot is what runs this great city.

Crossing the Channel

This morning I caught a ferry from the Hook of Holland (or Hoek Van Holland as they call it here) to Harwich in England to spend an extended weekend in London.



The end of the world (for the dutch i mean)

I clicked this last night at the lake.

This is probably one of my 'Best Night Photos'.

Museum Night @ Utrecht

Utrecht - the third largest town in the Netherlands played host to a very interesting event yesterday "Museum Night". We* left Rotterdam in the afternoon and spend a good 14 hours in this great city.

We started off seeing the Utrecht University Campus with its great collection of Architecture and as it got darker we headed towards the City Centre where all the Museums of the town are. On this one day of the year all the Main Museums and Galleries in the town are kept open till 01:30 and they have special shows and events organised in and around them.

Though most of these were quiet ordinary the overall idea/spirit/event was great. People also call it the 'Museum Marathon', because you really have to run to finish all of them in one night.



A few random shot of the Canals around the City Centre (very Amsterdamish) and the bottom right image is one of the Exhibition halls with some Video Installations
