Uzbeki #folkmusic borrows from #Sufi poetry and #Persian, #Tajik and #Afghani music. UNESCO has included Shashmaqam, a unique genre of music from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, on its list of Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mankind. Frankly, I couldn’t take my eyes off the danseuse’s headdress, colourful garb, graceful dance movements and her exquisite jewellery. . #uzbekistan🇺🇿 #uzbekistan #uzbekmusic #uzbekmusic🎶👍 #tajikistan #tajik #music #bukhara #samarkand #khiva

Throwback to 3 years ago when I visited one of the 7 wonders of the modern world - #Petra. Lying deep inside the ravine, it was once a fiercely-guarded secret by the #Bedouin tribes. Al Khazneh or the #Treasury is the first temple you see from the Siq or the shaft. What treasure did it hold? We may never know. One thing it does hold is mystery and tremendous beauty. . . . #SevenWondersOfTheWorld #Jordan #AlKhazneh #Nabateans #Siq

Imagine standing in the middle of a frozen lake about 145 kms north of the Arctic Circle, in the heart of Sami country, looking up at the sky where nature paints its most stunning canvas – the Northern Lights. It is probably the closest you will feel to nature and how generously it draws up a motion picture of dancing lights just for you. . . #sapmi #scandinavia #nordic #northernlights #acrtic #sweden🇸🇪 #snowyarctic #worldwithoutcompass . .

Hong Kong, one of the most vibrant cities I have ever lived in comes alive at night. It is a city that never sleeps. A place that knows no full stops. A city with such zest for life. #hongkong Kong lives it to the max. . . . I❤️HK #i❤️hk #fragrantharbour #i❤️🇭🇰 #citythatneversleeps

I am officially no longer a #cactuskiller. I have new flowers on my rose bush. 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️ Dainty and oh! so pretty. #terracegarden #greenthumb #rosebush #pinkrosebuds #ohsopretty #prettyinpink

My Mediterranean terrace garden now has plum tomatoes 🍅 growing from a vine. Yippppeeeee... oh! What a wonderful feeling it is to grow something and see it blossom in front of your eyes. Now where is that balsamic vinegar and those rocket leaves. #IConfessIAmACactusKiller #IGrewThat #tomatoesonavine #plumtomatoes #MediterraneanGarden #terracegarden #plantlife #🍅🌱 🍅🌱🍅 #fromseedtothis

Hello beautiful moon 🌓. Thank you for visiting me again. Bright and shiny and silvery and oh! so mesmeric. Happy Spring Lantern Festival. #CNY #mesmericmoon #lunarnewyear #moonrising #SpringLantern

Happy valentine’s day everyone. Flowers, love, chocolate cakes and all things red and pink. 💋🌹🎈💘#xoxo #stvalentine #14feb #bemyvalentine #valentinesday

The beautiful #bauhinia - the flower of Hong Kong that is also called Hong Kong Orchid. The mildly fragrant pale purple flower blooms from November to March and is represented on Hong Kong flag. It is wonderful when countries put nature as a part of their symbolism. #hksar #hongkongflag #thebeautifulbauhinia #natureinanurbanjungle #orchid #hkorchid

Now, that is what they call “crystal clear”. Fiords in Norway 🇳🇴 are among the most beautiful I have ever seen. It is beauty untouched. #fiords #arctic #norway #crystalclear #nopollution #🇳🇴 #subzero #natureisbeautiful #beautyuntouched #postcardsfromnorway

Crystal clear water, icy cold morning and breathtaking sunrises - any given day in Norway. #🇩🇰❄️☃️☀️#norway #nordicwinter #arcticsunrise

A Nordic #rainbow 🌈🌈🌈 spotted in #Svolvaer in #Norway 🇳🇴 with an unusually narrow arch. Probably because we were so close to the North Pole. #NordicRainbow #northpole

A #selfie of me in freezing 🥶🥶🥶Jukkasjarvi, Sweden. Even with sunshine, the daytime temperatures were at -28 degrees. Frosty hair and eyelashes, and absolutely painful hands and toes. #❄️⛄️❄️⛄️❄️⛄️ #❄️🇸🇪❄️🇸🇪❄️🇸🇪 #snowysweden #frosty #winterhols #Brrrrrr

There is something so, so special about re-living a part of your childhood. One of my most vivid memories is of #abba. I grew up listening to their songs on my cassette tape, memorising each word. So imagine my delight visiting the #abbamuseum in #stockholm and opening up a part of my childhood that made me so, so happy. It was like being inside of a time warp, only in full colour, giving me a chance to bring back those happy memories by singing my favourite songs. Music has such a powerful way of evoking memories no? Thank you ABBA for making my childhood so special and evergreen. #abbasongsareforever #gimmegimmegimme #winnertakesitall #childhoodmemories #evergreensongs

Of all the characteristics in a person, resilience is my most favourite. I admire those who demonstrate this character in the face of adversity. This mulberry plant teaches me resilience. It was battered in the typhoon and shed all its leaves; almost seemed like it won’t live. I hoped it won’t give up on me and it didn’t. Spring is almost here and it is sprouting new shoots. #nevergiveup #newshoots #newbeginnings #mulberrybush #resilience #newlife #plantlife #🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 🌱

Did you know that congee - rice porridge eaten as breakfast in many parts of Asia including #Hong Kong and #Singapore comes from #Tamil word - Kanjee? I remember eating thin rice mixed with a larger quantity of water until it has porridge like consistency when I was sick as it is easily digestible. It is believed the Portuguese brought congee where they went and today we have this humble bowl of thoroughly satisfying breakfast connecting pretty much all of Asia. Tastes all the more delicious with the morning paper - another daily staple. #congee #congeebowl #thedailystaple #heartybreakfast

A new dawn, a new day, a new year in sunny #Gisborne - the city that sees the first light. Located on the easternmost tip of the world, Gisborne is the first city that sees the sun rise. Wishing you all wonderful new beginnings and much success in all that you plan to do this year. #happy2019 #happynewyear2019 #citythatseesthefirstlight #firstlight #nz #nzsummer #newbeginnings #nofilter

Nan’s garden as it is affectionately known, has seen many Christmasas, bird songs, yawning cats and excitable dogs, possums, hoots from the Morpok owl, pool parties, BBQ evenings spotting shooting stars, treasure hunts, squealing children and countless hours spent lazing in the sun with piles of magazines and jugs of lemonade by your side. #nzsummer #nansgarden #endlesssummer #purenz #newzealandvacations #Magnolia #Gisborne #lazydaysofsummer 🌞 🌲 🍋 🍊 🏊‍♂️ 🌊👙⛱🐚🌈

About Me

I packed 2 bags in 1996, thinking I will return in a year or two.

That journey has not ended.

I currently live in Singapore and have travelled over a 100 countries. But travelling a country and ticking off a bucket list alone is not enough. I like to experience its culture, understand its history, learn about its people, savour its food and go deep into its roots.

And so, the adventure continues…
