Childhood breakfast

I grew up on a breakfast diet of tea, sweet potatoes, and home made peanut butter. Needless to say, that is what I miss most in the whole world...

Home sweet home

This weekend I'm heading back home...its been more than a year, am so excited. So in the days prior to my departure I will be posting stuff about home. Even though some one once said that home is "where your toothbrush is", to me home is that setting that reminds me of my childhood. Home is happiness...

The Kruger experience continued...

This dude was super serious as we bypassed it one evening when we took a walk around the campsite. Its relatively easy to spot the warthogs in Kruger, with tails raised high lika an antenna when they run. In this pic the antenna had not been raised yet, perhaps it was assessing the level of danger posed by the passers by before taking off.

Spotted...Kruger National Park

Kruger National Parks is one of the first national parks set up in Africa, and a few weeks ago I had the privilege of spending a few days in this 'heaven' of wild nature. As usual I had my camera with me during the game drives, enjoy...

Dreams

The car you must drive... before you die

At this rate...A Bugati is for the life after, atleast for me.

The Great Wall

In china they have a saying that you are not a hero until you climb the Great Wall. So if you asked me whether I felt like a hero, the answer would be no, because no personal accomplishment can compare to what was achieved in the name of the Great Wall. To imagine that this gigantic structure snakes itself through that mountainous terrain for almost 6000Km is mind boggling. But on the other hand its no surprise at all in chinese terms. China is synonymous with size: think of its population, the size of its security force, the size of this its economy, and if you have been to Beijing the massive infrastructure. The fascinating thing about China, and Beijing specifically is that the aura of communism is not easily felt as one would expect, until you try to access BBC online. There is massive censorship and all sorts of underhand checks and balances, and the irony is that locals seem to be happy with the status quo. But perhaps that is understandable if you are aware of what took place in 1989 in Tian'anmen square. To summarise China in a single word? Growth. There is a huge potential in this country of miniature people. For the country that gave birth to my name am glad I visited.
