Powai is a beautiful place located in the heart of Mumbai. On one hand it has large neat buildings inspired by Roman architecture, and on the other hand it hosts a serene blue lake. One thing common across its landscape: Lush green trees creating a mesmerizing blend between city life and nature.

I went on a week-long trip to Gemur (Himachal Pradesh) and Zanskar (Ladakh) with an amazing group of colleagues, in the summer of 2024. Even after living amidst the Himalayas for 3+ years, this was the first of a kind trip: awe-striking mountains, beautiful views, and life-changing ideas. Must visit.

I visited Copenhagen in 2024 to attend the conference PLDI. It's a city known for its bicyclists, and a blend of modern vibes with a very rich history. Best time to visit -- summers -- and prime summer is when I went :)

Vegas, located amidst American deserts, is famous for its pop culture, casinos, and night life. I traveled there on a solo trip for a conference, enjoyed walking on its streets, clicking pictures and watching the Fountains of Bellagio. You can never get tired roaming around in this city.

Kanheri Caves are part of Sanjay Gandhi National park at Borivali, Mumbai. It is difficult to believe that such a vast forest and hilly terrain exists amidst one of the largest cosmopolitan cities of the country. I am sure I would return multiple times to see more of "Caves, Trees, and Monkeys".
