Curious Tourist

When I Flew Like a Himalayan Hawk My friend and I just before taking the leap That's a perfect lift off A controlled landing We woke up to a misty summer morning in the picturesque hill station of Mcleodganj. We had spent the previous night in a quaint hill-top resort, a few miles away from the city and far away from the cacophonous rush of daily life. We were now feeling well rested and were raring to go on a new adventure in the beautiful Himalayan countryside. So we decided to drive a hundred miles away to the idyllic hill hamlets of Bir and Billing. Bir is the landing zone while Billing is the take off site for thousands of Paragliding enthusiasts who visit this region of the Himalayas during summer months. So we were off to Bir-Billing, a world famous paragliding hotspot where the Paragliding World Cup was also being organized at the same time (October, 2015).

Spectacular Colours of Korea I am very fortunate to be a part of Samsung Electronics. My work involves a lot of travel and very frequent business trips to Korea for which I am immensely grateful to my company. My first business trip to Korea was in September last year. The sweet memories of that trip are still very fresh in my mind. I am very fond of travelling and exploring new locations, new cuisines and new people, so it goes without surprise that my excitement knew no bounds when I began sightseeing one weekend after a long and strenuous week at work.  Even on weekdays, whenever I got some free time from my work, I would pop out of my hotel room without even knowing where to go. Sometimes it’s just fun to step out of your comfort zone and travel without any planning, isn’t it? Thus began my love affair with Korea- its people, its seasons and its culture. Of all things, I am most fascinated by the perfect roles played by different seasons in Korea. Winter Wonderland in Korea
