Today was last day at Singapore. Packed everything night before so that after breakfast we can check-out without much wasting of time.It was holiday at Singapore as of some Muslim festival. My plan was to go to Arab Street. This area has beautiful old shop houses that line the streets. The highlight of the area [...]
Wedneday- Visit to China town
It was the day to visit china town and particularly Buddha tooth relic temple. Got down by MRT at China town & took exit to Pagoda street. One can’t miss the colorful row of shop-houses along that street, with baby blue and yellow flowers painted all over. This whole area is labyrinth of shops selling [...]
Hectic Tuesday
We woke up bit early; had heavy breakfast as usual. For today I have already decided to go to Botanical garden in first half of the day. So took a cab from hotel and I figured it was very nearby. This botanical garden is must if you want to see the greenery and variety of [...]
Visit to hungry tide- Sunderban
For the first time in my life I spent more than 2 nights in a row at Calcutta. The initial plan was to attend Papai’s wedding reception and travel to some where around like Digha and back to Bangalore. We got our Bangalore – Calcutta ticket booked. Going was by train to save money and [...]
Sleepy Monday

We planned for complete day-trip; [...]

First day @ Singapore
Viewing Singapore through a lens of mother of 22 months old baby was not fun all the time but enjoyed our stay there for 9 days. Actually this journey is because of Santanu who went almost every year after returning to India. Each time after his official trip he use to complain about his loneliness and etc. [...]
Cost cutting Travel and more
My last week trip to Singapore was a hectic one. Too many meetings and meetings at work; best part is now a new Starbucks at Science Park Drive is opened close to work; was very lucky where every other day got pampered by my host with a coffee. The flight from Bangalore was a nightmare I never [...]
