Scotland and the Highlands – Part 1

A trip to Scotland is a virtual trip to one’s hidden and innermost feelings. Loneliness, solitude, sadness, self-healing Feelings that one feels when one walks and wanders in the Highlands – in those remote and barren lands away from what we call “civilisation”.

London in January. A habit of 4 times in a row (Part 2)

The morning of the second day found the two of us staring puzzled at the kids at 6.15 am and wondering what we might have done wrong. It could not have happened for a second day the kids to wake up that early! Well, there was no plan for supermarket and after the usual full-English…

Entering the garden made a big impression to me. The noise-trained ear was not used to such a noise-less environment. I walked south…

A sniff of Kingston Jamaica

An initially planned trip to London, The Bahamas, The Grand Cayman and Jamaica was unfortunately executed as London, The Grand Cayman – skipping all 4 days in The Bahamas, 2 days in The Grand Cayman (GC) and 4 days in Negril, Jamaica. So we had decided that in order to get just a bare sniff…

Drrriving the Rrrrr8 ..and some other cars like the A4 2.0T and the Q7 V12

It was 16.00 while staring out of my office window when a spam-like email popped into my Outlook inbox.
