While I was on an assignment in the state of Madhya Pradesh in India I heard the locals talk a lot about a place called Kundalpur.

So this place situated around 1.6 km from the Damoh ruins is a place which belongs to the Shri Digamber Jain Siddha Kshetra. Lying in the district of Kundalpur the city of Damoh is the city near this place. The whole area is actually famous for the...

Located in between two hills, this place is around 140 km from Jammu and around 120 km from the district of Udhampur. We went up to Ransoo and then we traveled...

With greenery all around this is a great spot to visit with the best kind of idyllic atmosphere. The calmness and serenity...

I decided that this time during the vacations I would go around the temples in Tamil Nadu like I did last year. I had been to Kancheepuram and Madurai and I really liked the idea of being in the atmosphere exuded by the temples in this part of the world. So this time, I set forth to the Brihadeeswara temple in Tanjore district in the Tamil Nadu state in India. This is actually one of the first granite temple in the world. It shows a great example of the great heights that the kingdom of the Cholas...

My mother, a very resourceful lady had already arranged for the tickets and I just am intrigued and puzzled by the way mothers just decide everything and really have no qualms...

“What to do, I am still not decided on the process of adoption.” Sundar told me. I was quite upset seeing Sundar and Sarita so low and upset. They have been married for 15 years yet they don’t have a child. I have been telling them to adopt but they are still hesitant. My father, a self made astrologer and a staunch Keralite has told them to go to Mannarasala. I really don’t know if these things are true but I have had Sundar telling me, that his brother got a child after 12 years...
