    I have been to Mcleodganj a couple of times, and have loved the experience… While going through my old work, came across a folder of images which was earlier on flickr and is not longer accesible… Here are a few good ones and the album below…

    This small town a few kilometers ahead of Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh offers a variety of options for almost all kinds of travelers, the religious can go to temples around, the tourist can enjoy walking around the town and take cabs to nearby locations to enjoy the nature… the foodies can eat at a number of restaurants which serve a variety of food… the trek types can trek to Triund and other places… What a complete package this place is!

  • Good ways to spend an evening – 1

    1. Leave office on time (ok, a li’il late works too)
    2. Get a tank full of gas (short for gasoline, and referred to as petrol and diesel in India) [abe firangi]
    3. Find a direction to drive in…
    4. Set a countdown timer (e.g. I will drive for 90 minutes, and look for the first nice place to have tea)
    5. DRIVE
    6. Stop…
    7. Eat and have Chai
    8. Come back!

    I managed to do a 100km drive last night with a couple of friends and went till Dharampur… about 40 kms before Solan and 13 kms before Kasauli!!!! the hills are suddenly a lot closer than they were for the last 18 months!

    I love it! Life is uber cool!
