Introduction


Hey! We are Umashankar and Simple from Mumbai, India. We work with the financial services industry and are passionate about food, reading, and world cinema.
We retain the keenest interest for travelling and have travelled extensively in India, South East Asia, and North Africa (read Egypt). We love every facet of traveling, the planning, the anticipation of a trip, the sights and experiences, the interaction with fellow travellers, and the sheer joy of traveling that can only be felt and not expressed.
We have over the years relied on the shared experiences of many who have traveled before us and have gained from it. We remain grateful to them and hope to continue the tradition by sharing our experiences through this blog. We hope to interest a few of our readers to seek out a place we have travelled to.
Every person has his own opinion on the perfect way of traveling. We are no different. We believe in travelling solo, planning the trip without agents, prefer online booking of tickets, hotels, and local transport, we prefer local cuisine and alcohol, and use public transportation wherever possible.
