I am a software professional in Bengaluru with travel as a passion. Though I used to travel since childhood, it started as an addiction with the trek to Kumara Parvatha in 2003. Initially, I mainly focussed on trekking, but it has come down in the last few years. Family trips have replaced it, which I am equally enjoying.

Most of my trips are either with family or with close friends. I rarely go on solo trips. Most of my solo trips are part of my official travel. Of course, there are a few exceptions but not many.

What kind of a traveller am I? Hard to say, as I visit mountains, temples, beaches, wildlife etc. I enjoy it as long as it is interesting. I do not prefer crowds and have very little patience in waiting.

My interest in photography comes with travel though I am not close to becoming a serious photographer.

I started writing as a means of documenting my visits, but then it opened up a new avenue. I got to know a lot of people, made friends and learnt new stuff. Though I get little time to write, I try to update the blog regularly.

Happy reading!! Do let me know your feedback.
