what is this place?

I am terribly excited by the thought of new places, people, cultures and sights. For the longest time my resume had, under ‘interests’- the item “the idea of travel”. Today it can be whittled down to the one word; travel seems to have become a more real possibility (since moving to Singapore in 2005). I still deeply wish to see many places back home in India, but for now I look at different points on the map and can’t restrain my greed. Hence the attempt at making my motto “travel now, save later”.

This is where I write about the places I go to, want to see, or research about. the food we eat, the alcohol I always try to try. This is also where I post the better pics of the many, many I take. The trips may not be too frequent, but I yearn to write about my experiences, because I always feel I never observe enough. What I do notice and feel, I wish to write down.

I hope they are as interesting to others in cyberspace who stop by.

who is this guy anyway?

-A- (or 'shakester'),while on his travels, is greedy about experiences and takes an absurdly large number of photos. In life, he is rather fickle and indecisive. He very often has ten things to write about, but eventually posts on an eleventh, or nothing at all. He is also slightly schizo, as is evidenced in the other blogs he writes at.

In one, he co-exists with his better half, D. There they write about their (now not so new) life in Singapore, food, beer, whisky, movies, books, the city they have moved to, and miscellaneous ramblings and rants. In the other, he pontificates on many things sport and cricket, which he thinks a lot about but writes much less.
Shakester also has the ability to say in 20 words that he can say in 10. Erm, you might have glimpsed that in this paragraph.
