When travelling to a foreign country, language can be a major issue, especially if you need to communicate with locals. This can be particularly scary if you the locals are illiterate or unfamiliar with foreign accents. Once you reach you hotel, have the hotel staff write...

It’s as much a part of the Yuletide season as wrapping paper and reindeer poo." So, here it is. My own voice added to those of many others, writing and talking about Christmas.

While staying at hotels, avoid ordering from Room Service or consuming items from the Minibar. Instead buy your own snacks from the local market (stores like Seven Eleven or Twenty Four Seven are open 24 hours) and stock them up for those late afternoon or mid-night pangs....

My passion for travel is not restricted to exploring one city or country but for the love of travel itself - for the experiences and opportunities it brings with it, getting to know new cultures, taking photographs of the beautiful world that we live in and meeting new people and exploring new cities. There is a list of places I would like to visit more than others, only for this desire to know and see more, capture it through my lens and bring back unforgettable memories.

For all the dreamy wanderers like me, who love to travel but can't afford to, here are some cheats  to travel without burning a hole in your pocket. Yes, there are many of those that are commonly known and yet many aren't ... and no, I am not talking about frequent flyer miles or hotel loyalty points. Not all of us can afford to fly so frequently with the same airline or stay in expensive chain hotels. This is more about how you can control costs with a little work and a lot of planning.

Delhi, the capital of mystical India, is a splash of different religions and cultures - a magical co-existence of people from different corners of the country. And, it truly is a riot of entertaining activities and fascinating events waiting to be explored and experienced. Infact,  very often, Delhi has been called and labelled as 'Dilli - Dilwalon ki ...' meaning this is the city of the big-hearted. And it is this large-heartedness that you will see - not only in the generosity of the people here but also in the city and its offerings, itself. It entices, ensnares and draws you in, much like the spider does to the fly; only this is a welcome trap. Soon, you would be enamored by Delhi and its charm and would join the multitude of its lovers. Religion, Food, Shopping, Activities, Events - indeed, there is so much to explore and experience here, that you will soon realize you have no hope of survival unless you have visited every tourist spot, savoured every local delicacy and explored every historical monument.
