Lonely Planet’s Short Escapes
Way before I hit the road with a vengeance, as a perpetually broke college student, I recollect gazing whimsically at the Lonely Planet Guide on India, envying the list of authors who found mention as contributors to the Traveller’s Bible. Twenty-some years on, I can’t stop grinning as I, yet again, marvel at the list of authors staring back from the freshly printed pages. One familiar face jumps up: mine.

Dear Puneet, Hearty Congratulations.

Hope you will continue discovering secrets around these mega cities to promote some off beat ecotourism.
Thanks a lot, Ankit, for them kind words!
