Blog: Arnab Maity Travel and Photography - 6 February 2012
“Just by walking into a tiger reserve doesn’t guarantee a sighting, even the tiger rewards only the patient and long term visitor”, Divisional Forest Officer, Angul Division, tells me as I quietly sauntered through the deeply vegetated trail to the banks of Mahanadi, one of India’s longest rivers.

25 Most Scenic Train Routes in India
Blog: Arnab Maity Travel and Photography - 20 January 2012
Not too many countries on earth have a state budget made separately for the Railways, neither have they inspired authors and filmmakers for ages. The Indian Railways, carrying 30 million passengers and joining 65,000 km of India, isn’t unique only for these numbers, but for the diversity it carries along. It joins the length and breadth of India and touches her heart like no one else does. Probably the best way to see India is by taking a train ride, sneaking into her undiscovered cultures, gazing into her unexplored landscapes and soaking in her invigorating air.

The Pani Puri wallah
Blog: Indian Bazaars - 20 January 2012
The ritual at the Pani-puri wallah always started on a silent note. You just stepped in to be a part of an existing circle around him or to form a new one. As you stood there, your eyes moved from watching the crisp puris moving into the pot of pani to watching his hands as they swiftly stuffed one puri after another. You waited as he completed this cycle of doling out delight in small, sometimes easy-to-eat portions and sometimes not.

Achalgarh - of a Fort and Temple, Bulls and Demons....
Blog: A Wandering Mind - 12 January 2012
A bull which drove away invaders, three buffaloes said to be demons, a lake once said to have been filled with ghee and a temple once covered in lime to protect it – we couldn’t help but smile as we listened to these stories about Achalgarh. We had a day free at Mount Abu and were in the mood to explore, so we headed out for the tourist circuit, trusting our driver to take us to some interesting places.

Rajabai Tower
Blog: A Wandering Mind - 10 January 2012
As a student of Mumbai University, I always regretted the fact that I never had to visit the beautiful campus at Fort, commuting to the Kalina campus instead. Every time I was in town, I walked along the Fort Campus, looking up at the clock tower, slowing down to take a closer look at the convocation hall.

This is Hogenakkal, at the borderland between two of India’s southernmost states, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, in conflict over the waters of Kaveri since decades.

What is Chai
Blog: Indian Bazaars - 6 January 2012
And, why is the chai so much a part of our lives? In India, we believe that time is cyclic and in the many years we live before we are reborn again, the chai is at the core of our existence. It is the cup of chai (tea) that helps us mark time in our homes, in our streets, in our marketplaces. Every home offers its guest a cup of tea. Every street corner offers its visitors a glass of chai. In the marketplace, the chai creates the social space that people need as an introspection, an interaction or a sharing of experiences.
