I took this picture of a mother sitting with her child at the lobby of our hotel, ‘The Luxe Manor’ in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

This wast taken during a late night walk into the markets of Hong Kong. I saw this dog kept on the table sitting and watching the world pass it by! I thought it was a doll until it moved its head in my direction.

The cast and crew of the musical ‘All Shook Up’ went to Coorg last weekend to perform the musical there. Our stay was arranged at the lovely “Club Mahindra Resort” which is a really beautiful place.

We went on a landmark trip of Leila’s Coffee Estate in Mercara and just when we thought it would be a nice trip where we would see nature in its full glory, we were fully “shook up” by the drive! The estate has NO ROADS! the “Make your own road” thing is very apt for what we drove on! and it was 20 of us in one [...]
