The Chambal

December 20, 2015August 20, 2016Ashna KumarLeave a Comment on The Chambal

‘Aap Calcutta se Chakraborty sahib hai?’ I nodded in affirmation, to be issued a command ‘Chaliye, hume Bhaiji ne bheja hai,’. Before I could ascertain the whys and wherefores of this ‘Bhaiji’, the broad-shouldered young fellow hauled up my camera bag, while his assistant lugged my heavy rucksack and strode right ahead. I had no […]

Kanchenjunga Cheated Me

July 13, 2013February 4, 2017Ashna KumarLeave a Comment on Kanchenjunga Cheated Me

No way were we going to sight the highest peaks on planet earth—the clouds were just too overpowering. Yet, the stony faced driver’s insistent ringing at 3 am pushed us out of bed to confront the cold fog outside. “What are our chances?” I asked, staring at a white wall before the windshield incredulously. “There […]

Palampur in the Rains

September 8, 2011December 12, 2016Ashna KumarLeave a Comment on Palampur in the Rains

One Friday, September 2011, saw six of us donning our travel garb to set out to Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. As our cars meandered their way out beneath an overcast sky, through the Okhla barrage onto the Mahamaya flyover little did we know that Delhi was to experience the worst deluge of the season that […]

Renukaji and Sangra

April 30, 2008February 2, 2017Ashna KumarLeave a Comment on Renukaji and Sangra

A long weekend, granted by one favourably positioned Id, afforded a memorable winter trip. We started on the Delhi- Ambala Highway early on a cloudy Friday morning equipped with packed breakfast. Two kilometres after Shahbad, we took a right turn by the side of hotel Prince. Following a much needed tea and breakfast break we […]

March 11, 2008July 12, 2016Ashna KumarLeave a Comment on The Tharu of Don

Phulvati shyly extended a small intricately woven basket full of semi puffed rice, anandi, urging me to eat more.

Washing my fingers […]
