"Life is either a daring adventure... or nothing at all."
Hellen Keller
Stories. Musings. Life.
I don’t know where I’m going from here… but I can promise you, it won’t be boring.
Hi, I'm Dharam!
In 2018, I quit my job and spent 15 months exploring my passions of writing, traveling, and music. That’s when this blog was born.
Eight years, a dozen solo trips and countless lessons later, the quest to live life a bit differently, is still on.
Solo Trip Diaries
Backpacking Rajasthan #1 - Prologue
After quitting my job in 2018, I discovered newfound freedom to do whatever I desired. So the first thing I did was take a solo trip to Rajasthan.
Backpacking Rajasthan #2 - Lost in Jaipur
No matter how big a fan you are of Quentin Tarantino, watching Hostel - I, II or III before embarking on a solo backpacking trip can never be a good idea.
Backpacking Rajasthan #3 - Pickpocketed in Ajmer
Inside my head was a guy yelling that his wallet had been stolen. But hysteria had sucked my mouth so dry that in reality, no words came out of it.
Backpacking Rajasthan #4 – Revived in Pushkar
A small town with a peaceful vibe, Pushkar is the hip destination among foreign backpackers in India.
Backpacking Rajasthan #5 - Nostalgic in Jodhpur
I'd been coming to Rajasthan with my family all my life, countless times. But for the first time in twenty-six years, I realized how I really belong to this land.
Backpacking Rajasthan #6 - Welcomed in Jaisalmer
As the sand-colored fort shone like gold in a velvet backdrop of the night, I could finally feel the excitement of being in the heart of the Thar Desert.
Backpacking Rajasthan #7 - Enchanted in Udaipur
Amidst cool breeze on a starry night, I soaked in a heart-warming view of the glittering Udaipur palace. All of this was going to end soon... or was it?
