Wanderlust drives us to faraway lands, interesting waters. And add them to our travel memoirs
Utter the word ‘Pondicherry’ and you are flooded with recommendations for ‘must’ places to dine. We too had dug into a fair share of research for good food. Being an ex French colony, promises of a good French cuisine in every neighbourhood abound. And then there are claims of good […]
Well, we always keep aside a ‘Shopping Allowance’ for any place that we visit. 🙂 That includes allocation for memorabilia, things for the house, clothes, personal effects….After all, there is always this nagging need to get back authentic things back from our trips.
