I know that stunning is not quite an apt word to describe these photos, but honestly…these are! I only wish the occasion was something pleasant to remember!

F*** Business School – yah thats pretty much what I would say to most people who want to do an MBA! :)
Cap Courtesy: Shantanu (Tuck Business School Alumnus)
Destination: Ranthambore
When: Dec 25th – Dec 27th, 2009
Who: 6 of us (3 couples)
Stayed: Raj Palace Hotel, Ranthambore Sawai Madhopur. Paid Rs 2,100 per night including breakfast. Average hotel. Rooms are quite small, not well-lit or airy! Service is slow. Would not recommend. Read my TripAdvisor Review here
Transport: Went by train from Delhi (500 per person, Tier III AC). Came back by car (Innova – 9,000 one way including all taxes and toll. Rs 8.5/km, took 10 hrs)
Food: For local food, do visit Dholi Maru on the main National Park Road. Else you get everything since its a place frequented by foreign nationals
Do:
1. Ranthambore National Park: Famous for around 40 odd tigers (none of which we were able to see, but that seems to be odd!). Entry is twice a day for around 3.5 hrs each. Reservations for canters and cab is done on current booking basis. Costs around 350 per person on a canter (which seats 15-20 people) and around 600 per person for taxi (which seats 6 people). The park itself is not dense…gives an arid rajasthan feel. But great for shooting animals and birds!
2. Ranthambore Fort: Consider walking from the hotel to the fort, a distance of around 14 kms! We did that and experienced lovely Rajasthan life on the way. The fort by itself is ok…has some funny history to it…as explained by the guide…and then there is this Hanuman temple as well. If in winters, do spend some nice time on top of the Badal Mahal overlooking the entire Ranthambore National Park

here is ruchi waiting for our friends to show up…as life moves on…!
ruchi loves this crazy game that i just cant figure out…one because it has colors that i can never identify (i am colorblind…! and so could be you…check here!) and two because the game is crap…! iPhone games are wayyyy better…
here is she…taking a smiling break from her game…for the love of me…i cant remember the name of the game..! it has random figures and is like tetris…!
This makes me happy…very very happy…
Circulate…share..post…blog…do whatever…let the world know that I have clicked this…! :)
Well…comments plz…before anything else…

Went to this fantastic place last weekend – Shaheen Bagh. Its a resort about 10 kms off Dehradun…! Beautifully done…quite majestic…and decently affordable. Rooms are available starting 4,500 (all meals included).
If at all you go…make sure you pick up the poolside room. Its somehow the cheapest but the best in terms of location.
For families, pick up the suite in the other cottage. Charges only 5,000 and can accomodate 4 people.
Lovely place to spend 2N/3D..maybe even more if your schedule permits! We spent only a night there…and felt it was a trifle too short…moreso given the drive to the place which can easily stretch to 6.5 hrs from Delhi in peak hours…!
Check out the place..

Visited the place in Feb. Fantastic weekend getaway for Delhi. But it would be best to go there for 2 nights instead of just 1. We felt it was a little tiring to attempt a sat/sun escapade…!
some exploits

In Dubai for a week….the place hasnt changed much…but the feeling is so great…! I personally didnt think that I get attached to places…(it is people alone, used to be my explanation)…but I guess things are not so….
Great to be back…
PS: I know I was supposed to write 10 posts in the last month…and yeah…i hvnt written any. But lots to share…coming up right away…
Mornings with Sundays continues…we went to the Lotus Temple on Jan 27. Have been there multiple times before…and though it doesnt really offer a whole lot of photography opportunities…it was still a pretty good spend of time…
Also, clicked some really impromtu snaps of Pihu and Sarthak – Ruchi’s Neice and Nephew…they have come out decently well…do let me know how you find them…!

Planning on the TV Campaign for SecondShaadi from Feb 15th..so really looking forward to that…its quite exciting to see your product come live on TV…! We are also working towards our new product scheduled for a beta launch in April. Quite a challenging exercise…keeping our minds decently busy all along…!
