Goodbye – Mumbai – a quick update
I did not want to use a title like “Welcome to Bangalore” or “Here I come to Bangaloru” on purpose as need some time before I can call this my new home. From long time we were knowing that we have to move to Banglore but on personal grounds I had to postpone it which [...]
Nagaon – a sleepy sunday
Currently I am spending my life as forced bachelor with Pamela ‘n’ Aarush at Durg.
