Shopping in Dubai’s souks is like stepping into a different era—one that feels worlds apart from the futuristic skyline I wrote about in my last post on the Burj Khalifa. I had watched a lot of videos of Dubai Souks and got to very briefly experience one during my layover …

Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, first took my breath away in November 2023. During my first-ever international trip to KubeCon Chicago, I turned what should have been a boring Dubai layover into an adventure by squeezing in a quick visit to the top. Forgetting my iPad in my flight …

November 2, 2023, was when I embarked on my first international trip to Chicago to attend KubeCon. It was a special moment, but I never knew how things would change after that. From exploring New York on this trip, I got an opportunity a few months later to visit Paris …

I was out with a friend at PS Cheese Cafe a few days ago, where we discussed travel, and one thing that came up was hostel etiquette. Since both of us travelled quite a bit (me less), we’ve had our share of experiences when it comes to hostels, and that’s …

Of all the KubeCons I attended, KubeCon Paris was among the most taxing. I was constantly on the move, attending talks, meetings, and networking. The conference days were so tiring that I barely took any time to explore Paris. I used to come to my hotel and crash.  However, after …

“What was your favourite subject in school?” – I’m sure many would say Science, Maths, or Literature. Well, for me, it was a history in most parts. Whether it was learning about the Guptas and Satvahanas to Hoysalas and Chalukyas in the South or the Lodhis in the North and …

Travelling abroad has always been overwhelming for me, even after three international trips in the last 12 months. It’s uncommon for many people to visit the US as their first international destination, but that was the case for me.  When I attended KubeCon Chicago in November 2023, I planned a …
