Llew and I pose at the Taj Mahal in Agra at the culmination of our travels in North India in January 2008

As you might have realized from browsing through this website, I was born and brought up in India,  a country that I continue to love dearly and that remains in my heart no matter where I might travel or choose to live. For the nearly twenty odd years since I have lived in the West, I have traveled to India regularly if not twice a year then at least once in the summer. The long vacations afforded me by my position as a Professor makes it impossible to stay away from the  beloved land of my birth. Each time I have returned to India, I have explored a different facet of her geography and although I have been traipsing across the length and breadth of India since I was a child in the company of my parents, it has been only as a mature adult that I have come to fully appreciate the richness of her culture and her wealth of history.

Follow me now on my sojourn over Indian trailways. Take your pick of the choices above from the farthest reaches of the Himalayas in the foothills of the verdant Vale of Kashmir  to the tri-colored sands of Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin). Let us walk in the footsteps of kings in Rajasthan and dally with colonial officials in Bombay and Calcutta. In-between, we shall uncover little-known hamlets like Chittorgarh that the world forgot and Orcha that it has only just begun to  discover.

My India awaits…join me on a journey of passion and pleasure.

Bon Voyage!
