Goodbye, 2011

Dec 31 2011 Published by under Blog News, Travels of the Cj

And, that’s pretty much all, folks. Here in India we’re currently counting down the hours left of 2011 while folks on the other side of the planet are just starting this last day of the year.

2011 was a pretty fantastic year for me. There’s nothing I love more than traveling. Apart from back home in Kuwait, I had never gone anywhere outside of India before. In 2008, I backpacked around India and it blew my mind. It’s crazy how different parts of this subcontinent can be. Seeing different sights, tasting different food, learning about different history. I found it all, amazing and the proverbial ‘travel bug’ had well bitten into me.

Bombay Vacation Y’all

Oct 11 2010 Published by under A Day in the Life, Travels of the Cj

So I’ll be heading to Bombay tomorrow. After 11 months straight in Delhi, I needed a vacay y’all lol. Nokia is flying me in for the Nokia N8 launch, so i figured I should spend a little time meeting my family and friends while I’m there.

090920083380

I’ve been missing my family a lot lately. I dont really know anyone here in Delhi. Apart from the casual friends I’ve met and come to know over the few months I’ve been here. But there’s nothing that can beat family, right?

I intend to turn back into Tourist Cj (Gosh I miss that guy) and run around Bombay/Mumbai and take pictures of everything possible. When I’m not doing that, I’m going to try and spend as much time as I can with my old-friends and family from the Bollywood city.

So who’d up for some Vada Pavs in Mumbai tomorrow, eh? :D

Pictures from my Trip to Bangalore

Nov 19 2009 Published by under Travels of the Cj

My short trip to Bangalore was fun. I was in town for the Nokia N-Tourage event for the launch of the Nokia N97 Mini.

1711200910899

As usual, it was a really fun ol’ experience. Didnt really get to see much of Bangalore as I went straight to the Hotel from the airport, and vice-versa.

Oh yeah, having my own Suite in the Lalit Ashok Hotel wasnt that bad either.

Aug 23 2009 Published by under Travels of the Cj

Finally uploaded all my Kuwait Trip Pics. Only 2 months late too hehe. I tried to take a picture (or bunch of pictures) for every day I was in Kuwait. So that I was making the best of being back home, and so I could remember every bit of it.

Click the Image below to see the Albums y’all. You might want to get nice and comfy in your chair first.

389 Pictures

May 24 2009 Published by under Blog News, Travels of the Cj

Eeeeek Today I took 384 Pictures in just 4 short hours. At the rate I’m going I’m never going to be able to upload and blog about them !

389pics

What series of incidents lead to this many images ?

Well simple. I went to the Kuwait Towers, which is basically a huge Tourist attraction here, and as usual I went picture crazy. My N82 became freakkin hot because I had GPS and the accelerometer constantly being used, along with the camera. Also the 50 Degree C Kuwaiti heat did not help things either.

Nonetheless the N82 lasted about 4 hours on that, with the backlight on maximum brightness. Gotta love that camera-phone.

Now I have to get on watermarking those pics and uploading them all up. Egads.

And on the Twelfth Day, Teh Cj Rested

May 23 2009 Published by under Travels of the Cj

Egads. After days of running around, hanging out with friends, and generally being way too busy, I finally had absolutely nothing to do today haha.

So what did I do today then ? Well I slept.

The Bed

Ah and such a good sleep it was. I was so pooped from all the crazy fun I had in the last couple of days that I really needed a good “day of sleep”.

I swear my bed is way more comfortable than it looks btw.

Today I checked out Diet Pepsi here in Kuwait.

Diet Pepsi y'all

Why does the can have flowers and butterflies all over it ? I want MANLY DIET PEPSI thank you !

Diet Pepsi in Arabic

Meh. What can I say ? Tastes like Diet Pepsi would lol.

Also bought a Lion Bar.

Lion Bar

I used to love these when I was a kid. Dont quite know why, they dont taste that great lol.

Oooh and artsy picture of the day. Fils y’all :

Fils Please ?

The local coins of Kuwait. The picture didnt turn out anywhere as good as I hoped it’d be. I blame the lighting lol.

So there you have it. Finally a day of sweet nothingness. Of course I did step out with a couple pals to get some Pani Puri (is that how you spell it?) with them earlier in the evening. Funny how I’d rather die that eat that back in India, but here it’s aite :P Haha.

That’s all folks !

Incredible India 2009 Ad

Mar 25 2009 Published by under Travels of the Cj, Videos

Just came across the Incredible India tourism commercial for 2009. Check it out :

Y’know, it’s crazy how much beauty this one country offers. Even after traveling around so much of it, I’ve only experienced about a quarter of the things in this ad.

I havent been able to travel much this year. I really need to get back on that wagon, but work and the extra responsibilities I’ve taken on have ultimately often resulted in me deciding against it.

Still, there’s a lot of places here that I havent seen, and hope to check out one day.

Ah Incredible India.
