Literature Festivals and Havelis: Jaipur

—

by

I finally made it to the Jaipur Literature Festival this year. It is apparently the largest free outdoor Lit Fest in the world, and certainly the largest one in India. I wasn’t sure what to expect, some people told me that it was an elitist event that wasn’t really for the average person. So was…

Farewell 2013

—

by

Another year comes to an end, so here is a quick post about my highlights of 2013 and what my plans are for next year. Highlight of 2013: Visiting Australia and spending time with my family and friends. Saying goodbye to my 30’s was also a highlight, the decade has been a mixed bag of the…

Review: Copa Bar in Juhu

—

by

I don’t often do reviews, although I do eat out a lot (anyone who has seen my Instagram feed knows that), but I was invited to try out a new bar in Juhu this week. I don’t often visit Juhu, not because I don’t like it, but because I am a little bit lazy to…

Exploring Sicily : Italy

—

by

What is there not to love about Italy? From the delicious food, beautiful ancient architecture and fabulous style. All the cities in Italy have a different take on each of these, which makes travelling across the country such a treat for all the senses. Over the years, I have visited many parts of this fabulous…

My 5 Favourite Things to Do in Hong Kong

—

by

I spent many months in Hong Kong several years ago when I was working with Foster’s. Sometimes I would go there for just one meeting, at other times I would stay for a month. Over the years I got to know Hong Kong well, and it is a city that I have always loved. It…

Review: Asia Eater Magazine

—

by

I was recently asked to review a new magazine called Asia Eater that has just been launched. It’s no secret that I love my food, so for me this concept really can’t go wrong; a magazine devoted to the food of Asia, where you should eat it and how to cook it yourself… yes please!…

Eating Out in Melbourne

—

by

I am still hungry after talking about eating in Paris last week, so I thought I would keep with the theme this week. I have just spent 7 weeks in Melbourne (with a couple of days in Sydney), enjoying family, friends and the food! It feels like I ate for the entire 7 weeks (so…

Eating Paris

—

by

Ah Paris! There really is no need to say anything else about what really is the most beautiful city in the world. I have visited Paris several times, at last count I think it was 5 times. Whilst there are a zillion things to do in Paris, for me this city is all about the…

Melbourne: The Things I Have Missed

—

by

I have been visiting Melbourne, which is home, for the past few weeks. I still have a couple of weeks to go before returning to Mumbai, but as I sit here on a cold, rainy day I am thinking of all the things that I have really missed here. Some that I knew I was…

Pigeons are Vegetables: Being Vegetarian in China

—

by

When I was working for both Foster’s and ANZ, I was required to travel to China for work a few times. I had heard some horror stories about Chinese food which made me a little apprehensive about eating anything animal there, particularly as I am already quite picky about what non-vegetarian food I will eat.…

Potluck Me: Starting a Business in India

—

by

One of things I have always said that I love about India is that anything seems possible. Two years ago when I was leaving my job in a bank, if someone had told me I would be earning a living as a freelance consultant and writer, and setting up a couple of start-up businesses of…

Home: St Kilda

—

by

I have travelled to 48 countries in the world, and consider myself a seasoned traveller. However so far my blog has only touched on my adventures of the past two years. So I have decided to challenge myself to relive the other places I have been and share with you the great, the harrowing, the…

Tiffins Galore: My Visit to Spice Box Tiffin Service

—

by

As part of my day spent with the dabbawalas, I visited Spice Box who cook, pack and send off over 500 tiffin meals a day to hungry office workers all over Bombay. They use the dabbawalas to make the deliveries, and therefore have to have all their tiffins packed and ready to go before 10am in…

Geek Post: The Fascinating Lean Process of The Dabbawalas of Mumbai

—

by

The Dabbawalas of Mumbai are legendary. These 5,000 people deliver over 200,000 lunches a day to the workers of Bombay, and have done so for almost 125 years. It is not so much what they do that is remarkable, but the process in which they do it. As someone who has spent years of my…

The Magic of Rural Rajasthan: Luxury Experience

—

by

During my travels in India, I have usually done it quite rough, with the one exception where I had a slice of luxury in Jaipur. So when my friend was asked to visit a luxury property in rural Rajasthan I jumped at the chance to go with her. From the website, Lakshman Sagar looked nice,…

Foodie Post: A Gujarati Barbeque – Matla Undhiyu

—

by

It has been a while since I wrote about some of the wonderful food I have been eating, and what better way than to rave about one from home – Matla Undhiyu. I tried this when I was visiting my family in Vadodara, Gujarat recently, and my cousin explained it to me as a Gujarati…

The Difference Between Sri Lanka and India

—

by

It had been 18 months since I had been outside of India. That’s a long time, and to be honest I didn’t think going to Sri Lanka was really going to be a big change from what had become normality to me, after all at some points there is only 30 kilomtres separating Tamil Nadu…

Foodie Post: Pineapples

—

by

One of the things I love about India, is the natural craft and skill that exists. Even in what seems like the most simplest of things, there is so much skill involved. It is pineapple season here, and last night as we were walking home, my mother found the beautiful fresh pineapples irresistible. Whilst the…

Foodie Post: My Favourite Locals

—

by

I love food. That is certainly not a revelation to anyone who has read some of my posts, seen my tweets or followed me on Instagram. Good food to me isn’t just about eating gourmet though, its about just enjoying some of my favourite things and being able to go back to those that are…

Trekking in the Sham Valley: Ladakh

—

by

I was only able to take a short trip to Ladakh, but I really wanted to fit in a trek of some description. Luckily I managed to find a 5 day trek that would let me explore some villages without having to go to high in altitude. Whilst I have trekked in high altitude before…
