SocialMaharaj Technology, Travel, Food et al

Food is an integral part of travel because both of them cannot be separated. Last weekend when I was in Chennai to deliver a tech talk, I left no stone unturned to spend the free time I had to explore the city. Though I had limited time, I wanted to …

The last few weeks were special for me. No, I didn’t get a promotion or found the love of my life (yet), instead, I visited a score of vegetarian restaurants. Finding a pure vegetarian restaurant in Hyderabad was difficult a few years ago, but it isn’t now. Coincidentally I see …

As a food blogger, I’m blessed that I get opportunities to try different types of food. For someone who are dal-chawal all his life, the restaurant invites transformed my palate. That coupled with me shuttling between different cities in India, I’m always on the lookout for trying something new. However, …

Growing up, I had the privilege of moving to different parts of the country. From North to South, West to South-West, I’ve lived across different cities. And as a kid, I was exposed to different cultures. New people, new languages, and new food had become a regular affair. For instance, …

This is the penultimate blog post in my Chikmagalur series. In my previous blog post, I wrote about my experience of visiting the beautiful Chennakeshava temple in Belur. The temple showcased the grandeur and finesse of Hoysala craftsmanship and I totally loved spending time there. In this post, let us …

I think it was during my multiple trips to Gujarat that I fell in love with architecture and history. Though I love history as a subject, I was never fascinated with monuments and their stories. However, places like Rani Ni Vav, Adalaj ni Vav, Modhera Sun Temple, and the like …

You knew this post was coming, didn’t you? How could I not talk about food from my Chikmagalur trip? While my previous blog posts spoke about the places to visit in Chikmagalur, I’ll talk about places to eat in Chikmagalur, more importantly, vegetarian places to eat in Chikmagalur. Right off …
