I recently had a Déjà vu moment. It was the last day of my Bangalore trip. I accidentally pressed the deleted button on my camera that erased the entire data from my memory card. A similar incident happened to me in 2008, during my Guwahati trip. A sudden pain ran through my veins. Was it the pain of shock because of what happened? Or was it the pain of loss because deep down I knew it was never coming back.
My parents were avid travellers. My sister and I grew up listening to their travel stories. Gwalior was one such place, whose stories were part of our childhood. Our fascination grew year by year by listening to their tales. Therefore, we decided to visit Gwalior in March 2018 and explore the city ourselves!
There is a theme park in Delhi’s Sarai Kale Khan that will take you around the world for just 50 bucks! The Waste to Wonder park is a newly added gem to the city.

After exploring the two gems of UAE, it was time to dive into the cultural capital, Sharjah. The third-largest city of UAE is slowly gaining its popularity among the tourists. Just like its neighbouring emirates, Sharjah is an abode to beautiful beaches and brilliant architecture thriving upon the rich culture. Half-a-day doesn’t do justice to this place. However, with time the limited time that we had, here’s what we did.
My fascination for birds and a keen interest in bird photography took me to the world’s largest bird park (in terms of the number of birds), the Jurong Bird Park.

We’ve all heard about the classic Hollywood movie Casablanca and its famous nightclub, the Ricks’s cafe. That’s what Casablanca was to me before coming to Morocco. Exploring the city on foot made me realise that it is more than just fancy bars and commercial buildings. The French quarters hold up most of Casablanca’s nightlife. However, if you want to experience the real side of the city, here’s what we did that you can do too!
