Books Inc is a local independent bookstore (a family run) and I started visiting it a lot after they opened a branch in Santa Clara. They have the best sci-fi and fantasy section I have ever seen and knowledgeable staff who can recommend some great books. I have visited some of their other branches but... Continue Reading →
This is the second post in my series of posts on bookstores. Link to my previous bookstore visit post. I first came to know about Kinokuniya bookstore when I enquired about Death Note funko pops at a Japanese store in a local mall. The shopkeeper asked me to check in the Kinokuniya bookstore. I visited... Continue Reading →
This weekend we went out for probably the first time after the little one made an entry into the world. We did go to hospitals/doctors and dined out few times but never made a day trip with the little one so far. He loves animals just like all the other kids so we thought why not take...

At some point of time, I was very eager to try out new cuisines, but of late I have not experimented much with food. Being away from India makes me crave only... Continue Reading →

We wanted to catch sunset at this point, if possible. We started driving on this road which you can only enter on the way back from... Continue Reading →
Weekend was really fun. We met two best friends of hubby from college days. I got to know a lot about hubby through their college tales. I realized he was not so different from me even when he was in college. Saturday we went to one of the amusement parks and had fun with rides,... Continue Reading →
We made a 4 day trip to Death Valley National Park last year. We saw snow capped mountains, snow lying on the ground, salt deposits, sand dunes, Joshua trees, lakes, canyons - such diversity in landscape that we were in awe of its natural beauty. First day, we drove to Death Valley via Sequoia National... Continue Reading →
We spent our last day in Alaska at Fairbanks. We were supposed to catch the flight at 1 AM or so from Fairbanks. So we decided to explore places in and around Fairbanks. We started our day with me having a breakfast buffet and husband having sourdough pancakes (he just loved them!) at the hotel.... Continue Reading →
