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 !

As luck would have it, the general elections were on May 12th and we couldn’t miss doing our democratic duty. So I rescheduled our holiday to June and only managed to … Read more
Minutes before the counting starts, CONgress says the EVMs are tampered with. Fascinating analysis. Bless Capt. Amarinder Singh, a closet Sanghi and Sidhu, an ex-Sanghi who said yesterday that EVMs work fine …. what ??? They probably missed the newly coronated, newly minted Shiv-bhakt’s briefing. Don’t believe me ? About the Shiv-bhakt ? There is … Read more

Dates that we stayed in Una – April 13 to 16. Hotel – Suvidha Palace Rooms – Well, the first room they showed nearly made me cry. Insist on staying in the suite 106. It’s a large, well appointed Suite. Book directly with Suvidha Palace, don’t book through MakeMyTrip. They are more expensive, don’t give … Read more
Dates that we stayed at Bilaspur – April 10th to 13th Hotel – Lake view, a HPTDC property. Rooms – clean and airy, large rooms. The suite has a nice balcony. There is enough parking. Just noisy because the hotel is on the main road. Food – just had the tawa rotis … Awesome ! … Read more
