There is a lot one can do in Boston. One of the oldest cities in the USA, it’s an important landmark in the freedom movement and a dream destination for history buffs. It also happens to be one of the biggest college towns in the country with Harvard and MIT campuses – so there is always a young crowd here keeping things fresh. I happened to be in Boston in the summer of 2008 for …
Reposting on #throwbackthursday about our trip to Shimla when we were much younger :)!

In September of this year, Kapil and I moved out of St. Louis after having lived there for almost 3 years.

The state of Indian traffic, congestion and chaos had passed into deep recesses of my brain and it was pulled back rudely into the front with a jolt. As our cab weaved in and out of insanely blocked lanes, my heart skipped a few beats. My mind took a few minutes to locate some …
