YOUR TRAVEL BUCKET LIST




Many years ago, I happened to watch the film Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The duo were terminally ill and decided to jot down extreme things they wanted to do before they kick the bucket. The idea fascinated me to no end. So much so, that I made my travel bucket list, where I would visit a place and do something extreme there (desirable enough in my eyes).

And so, in New Zealand, I tried white river rafting in rapids 4. The gush of strong currents in the water, crew members of different nationalities and one wrong stroke, we would've ended up capcising in the cold waters.
Sky diving was another WTF moment. But absolutely worth it.
This time, I'd like to ask you to jot down your travel bucket list. Where would you wanna head and what would you like to experiment with.

Here go the suggestions:

1. Dance with Dervishes in Turkey. Connect with the spiritual world. But don't cheer or clap, it's considered an insult as the ritual is to pray for the departed souls.

2. Dive underwater and shoot pictures of the white water shark (from inside teh cage, though).

3. Live it up in Las Vegas (You live once, right and of course, lap dances are so passe now).

When a man makes an indecent proposal..to a man

The 'casting couch' is serious trouble for male models in India The Casting Couch is a reality. Not just for female models but also the males in India’s buzzing fashion industry. In a quest to make it big, acquire fame, money and a high-profile lifestyle, many male models face the rude reality of ‘talent hunts’ under the guise of ramp show auditions. While many such auditions are genuine, others are ‘indecent proposals’ or a fast dial way to make it on the ramp for big designers and then to the silver screen. Incidentally, under the scanner of late is model Sid Gupta (name changed) , assistant director in a recent Shah Rukh Khan film, who was given a shot on the ramp to open and close the KJo-Varun Bahl’s menswear show in Delhi and the India Couture Week in Mumbai. Fashion circles in both cities are abuzz with rumours about he being a toyboy for his godfather. Not just him, in the recent past model Inder Bajwa and then Lalit Trehan were rumoured to have been the boyfriends of d

Allah tero naam. Ishwar tero naam at Jodhpur RIFF changed my perspective.... Indian Carnatic music maestro TM Krishna collaborates with transwomen singers at the Jodhpur RIFF 2017 This was my very first visit to Jodhpur and I coincided it with an attempt to catch the Rajasthan International Folk Festival (RIFF) whose chief patron is Marwar's royalty Gaj Singh II. One of the renditions by Carnatic music maestro TM Krishna (TMK - as he is lovingly called) changed my life's perspective so much so that this feeling is here to stay and share. TMK sang a very popular song called 'Allah Tero Naam. Ishwar Tero Naam...' with a 'specific reason' as he perched effortlessly at the break of dawn at  Jaswant Thada near Mehrangarh Fort. With him were the absolute delights of the season — The  Jogappa singers. These transwomen musicians were clad in simple sarees, played traditional instruments and sang at an unusually shrill high pitch.  Music legend TM Kri
