Welcome to my blog. My name is Madhu
I love design. I design interiors for a living (At least I did, till I took a long sabbatical!) I love reading and I love desserts. But travel is my passion. I cannot imagine life without travel. This blog hopes to convey some of that passion, to inspire you to spread your wings. This is home to some of my journeys. This is what I saw.

“As a child, yearning to leave home and go far away,
the image in my mind was of flight – my little self
hurrying off alone. The word “travel” did not occur
to me nor did the word “transformation” which was
my unspoken but enduring wish. I wanted to find a
new self in a distant place, and new things to care
about. The importance of elsewhere was something
I took on faith. Elsewhere was the place I wanted to be”
~ Paul Theroux in “The Tao of Travel”

Congratulations Madhu! You won the contest. Email me your address and I’ll mail you a copy of the book. My email is bumbas24@yahoo.com
The entries are in and the winner has been chosen. First, thanks to all the brave and intrepid readers who read these posts , felt moved by civic duty, and sent in their n0minations for the most objectionable word in the world. Well, (and there’s another one, WELL!) a number of the entries were very objectionable. AWESOME was was an AWESOME entry, and even writing it now bothers me. LIKE was also like a REALLY good choice for a bad word.
But basically, the judges, who went through all the entries with a fine-tooth comb that had a couple of teeth missing, basically they decided on BASICALLY.
Yes, BASICALLY. You see BASICALLY is a BASICALLY a boring word: Unnecessary and BASICALLY a pain in my you know what.
The winner is Madhu, the blogger who suggested BASICALLY after a careful consideration of perhaps five minutes. Madhu, by the way, has one of the most interesting and lovely sites on WordPress. Check it out if you’ve never seen it.
Madhu wins a free copy of Up in the Bronx. Some might object that Madhu is too nice a person to receive such a prize, but basically she is a strong soul and we hope she will be able to withstand the storm.
