Madhu and Himanshu's Travels. Thursday, April 24, 2008. Hiranya's first India Trip (23Feb08-25Mar08). Shocking, given that I have never bottle-fed and first-time air-travel is not really a time to change basic feeding methods for an infant. Can't be helped though! We hurry to catch our 5 o'clock taxi to the airport. But I somehow manage. We hog the baby changing area for at least an hour. At 9:30 am on 23rd Feb 2008, I board an aeroplane for the first time. Our first destination is Mumbai, India. We visi...

Book Reviews by Himanshu Das. Wednesday, November 08, 2006. Da Vinci Code (Dan Brown). Every once in a while, there comes a book which rises beyond some black marks on bound rectangular pieces of paper and becomes a phenomenon. The popularity charts have to be redesigned to calibrate the way the book catches popular imagination. Often, this popularity wave is based on real talent and brilliant story-telling; at times on sheer "catching the right public mood at the right time". Rating Guide - Y. One point...

http://madhuhimanshutravels.blogspot.com/2008/05/windsor-stonehenge-and-bath.html
Madhu and Himanshu's Travels. Friday, May 30, 2008. Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath. There are a lot of interesting things about UK, one of them is that holidays here don't have names.
