The Magic of Salt Cauldron
Islands, ocean, and mountains, oh my! Over the Urato Islands in Matsushima Bay, a soft orange sunrise welcomes me back from walking my kid to the school bus. I do have to wander over to the open-air stairwell to see it clearly, and I do most mornings, still captivated by the water, the islands, and the mountains beyond. Several gigabites worth of photos of this specific view sit on hard-drives, only moved when the data gets too full for my phone to function properly.

Bhutan is Not My Hometown
First, let me put it out front that I'm not from Bhutan. I'm from India. Though I love my country very much, I had a strong urge to document my experiences with Bhutan for the hometown feature. But Bhutan is not my hometown. You can seldom call a country you visited for ten days a hometown. But I can, and I will. Garry Davis paved the way for that. Let me explain.

To Stay? Or to Goa?
What is home and how does one describe, let alone define a word as vast as home? I could say that it was the city in which I was born, or one of the numerous others I’ve lived in since. I could claim it’s where I was at my happiest, or where I felt I grew as a person, matured. I could make the claim that my hometown, my home, lives in the heart and soul of a loved one.

A Country with the Eight highest mountain peaks, and its heart of the jungle.. Top Story - February 2021.
I grew up in Nepal, a small mountainous country located in East Asia. You may or may not have heard about it, but I hope "Mount Everest" will certainly ring a bell. Nepal is home to monasteries, yaks, and eight of the world’s highest mountain peaks including Mount Everest. You can't imagine the faces I get when I tell people that although I am from Nepal, my hometown is not in the Himalayas."Chitwan", which in local language translates to the "heart of the jungle" is located in the Terai region of Nepal. I spent 18 years of my life in Chitwan because of which it certainly holds a special place in my heart. My words won't do any justice to the beauty of my hometown, but I will try my best......

The Rockstar in Japan
I hear the warning chime before I’ve reached the top of the escalator. Damn it. It took me forever to find this platform, and because it’s a long-distance trip, there won’t be another train to Hakuba for several hours. The rail system in Japan can be very confusing to those who can’t read or speak the language—especially in Shinjuku, which has the busiest station in the world. I don’t have the energy—or money—to try again later.

Roots in a Faraway Land
Home. For most people, the word evokes memories of where they grew up or where they live now, but for me, something completely different comes to mind when I hear it.
