This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi ….. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !
Roti – All about Food. Kapda – All about Sarees. Makaan – All about our home, the Earth.
During our March trip, we had stopped at this Dhaba just after a toll plaza where the tea was awesome. On our way back somehow we missed it completely. Today also we thought we missed it, when it didn’t appear much after the Gwalior bye-pass. We saw it just after the Babina toll plaza and … Read more

On May 6, we left Kullu for Kalpa. Since the planning for the Himachal trip had been done in Feb we didn’t have the opportunity to discuss it much with our Himachal expert Amit. This was nearly a 255 Kms trip, the longest we were doing in Himachal. The Kullu taxi Union manager told us … Read more
