24/28 states 🇮🇳 19 Countries 🌍 Collecting stories from places you've not heard of. Sometimes I write about them.
  • Twelve years back, somewhere near Jodhpur in a village called Chotila, I came across Om Banna Temple along a highway. It was dedicated to a motorcycle. Truck drivers stopped to pray before it. Bottles of alcohol were left as offerings for its dead owner, Om Banna. At the time, I enjoyed the weirdness of finding something like this on the road. Rural India is full of these strange discoveries intersecting faith, folklore and superstition. Then this week, I watched Dug Dug, a small indie film, inspired by that very legend. A dead man’s bike keeps returning to the site of his accident until it slowly turns into a roadside deity. Nobody questions it enough, everyone believes it's miraculous.  I went back to my Rajasthan album to see the photos and imagined the stories — the mysterious motorcycle (in the film, it's a Luna), the drunk rider who became a local god, how alcohol became an offering for him, how the shrine has a full time priest, how commerce grew surrounding it, and just how one roadside incident in 1988 spiralled into blind faith and a full blown temple.
  • I just came to say Hello
  • I've preferred words over being on camera, and for the longest time, I hid behind the lens. But at the start of 2026, I made a personal goal - to do a video with voiceover and put my face in it. We're four months into this year, and I'm finally checking that box ✅. Now tell me, do you want to see more videos like this? #travel #thailand #thailandfood
  • I love it when I watch a movie and it references a historical event or incident at a place that I might have visited, bridging the gap between the screen and my own memories. Last week I saw Evan Almighty, where Steve Carell is chosen as a modern-day Noah to build an ark and save the animals from a localised flood. The film immediately reminded me of my time in Armenia🇦🇲. From the capital city, Yerevan, the silhouette of Mount Ararat dominates the horizon. It is a mind-blowing fact to stand there and realize that both biblical scholars and ancient traditions identify the "mountains of Ararat" (Genesis 8:4) as the final resting place where Noah's Ark landed after the Great Flood. Mount Ararat remains deeply sacred and dear to the Armenian people, even though the mountain was lost to Turkey in 1921 following the Treaty of Kars. Even behind a border, it stands as a towering symbol of their heritage and an ancient beginning. #Armenia #yerevan #travel

  • At 28, I bought myself an RE Classic 350 as a birthday gift, not knowing it would change how I travel. What began as occasional city rides in Mumbai turned into long distance road trips across Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala during the pandemic. That eventually led me to adventure touring on the RE Himalayan through Nepal’s Himalayas and across Tibet, the roof of the world. Most recently, I rode through North East India’s rugged heartland on the RE Scram 440. It’s been quite a ride! @royalenfield @royalenfieldrides #travel #royalenfield #bikeride #roadtrip

  • It was our last day in Oman, and I woke up early to watch the sunrise over the desert. It looked calm and beautiful. Later, we went quad biking across the dunes, which was a lot of fun. Our flight to Mumbai was late at night, so we had time for one last detour. We drove to Wadi Shab, one of Oman’s beautiful wadis, with turquoise pools surrounded by mountains and deep canyons. Oman has many such wadis. From there, we drove back to Muscat, a two-hour journey. We returned the car at the airport itself, exited the country, and the trip came to a beautiful close. Country number 22 was ticked off🇴🇲 #oman #omantourism #omanitinerary

Just returned from a Northeast India ride on the RE Scram 440, tracing a path across Arunachal, Assam, and Nagaland. I actually did only half of this ride because corporate slave🫠, but it was extremely rewarding. From the quiet backroads of Namsai to the tea gardens of Dibrugarh, Longwa on the Myanmar🇲🇲 border, the hills of Mon, the Ahom relics of Sivasagar, the rice terraces of Kohima, and the bustling streets of Guwahati - the Scram was versatile, carrying us across all kinds of terrain through an unseen and rather underrated corner of the country. And did I mention what a pretty-looking bike it was? Heads turned 👀 #royalenfield #royalenfieldrides #travel #roadtrip @royalenfieldrides @royalenfield

It was our last day in Oman, and I woke up early to watch the sunrise over the desert. It looked calm and beautiful. Later, we went quad biking across the dunes, which was a lot of fun. Our flight to Mumbai was late at night, so we had time for one last detour. We drove to Wadi Shab, one of Oman’s beautiful wadis, with turquoise pools surrounded by mountains and deep canyons. Oman has many such wadis. From there, we drove back to Muscat, a two-hour journey. We returned the car at the airport itself, exited the country, and the trip came to a beautiful close. Country number 22 was ticked off🇴🇲 #oman #omantourism #omanitinerary
