I am traveller, a photographer, a history buff, and professionally a instructional writer. A techno-geek, a crazy-teller of stories from past, a rational head I write my travel experiences and try to get booted in Niagaras with mix of imagination, myths, customs and shadowed them experiences of travelling.

Talkād – A City under the Sifting Sand

By Cheeni_Kum

By the banks of Cauvery was the ancient town of Talkād a bustling pilgrim city now lay buried under the sheets of shifting sand. What transpire me to visit Talkād are not the exquisite carvings and murals or the archaeological excavations but a curse – The Curse of Malangi, the ancient name of the neighbourhood.

Trip to Nainital – Lake View

Kuntala Falls – In Search of Shakuntala (The Queen in Exile)

By Cheeni_Kum

The city of Hyderabad where I live, though, having plenty of ancient ruins and monuments to look around but, weekend travel hunts is a rarity. In fact, the recent Telangana Government too also seems un-interested to promote travel hubs where people can unwind. Anyhow, I got a weekend and determined to make a trip – this time.
