From my rooftop here in Udaipur I can see an old palace on a hill. It’s a little hazy outside, a bit dusty. It hasn’t rained for a couple...

I’m all alone. And I’m so lovin’ it. It’s nearly 11am, and I’m sitting in an old haveli, a Rajasthani mansion. It’s so beautiful in here,...

Dharmkhot tea house. Egg parantha, curd, chutney, and a hot lemon ginger honey. Just what the doctor ordered. I’m hungry. I haven’t eaten...
