I am an intrepid traveller. Travelling has been my passion since school days. Hailing from the steel city of Rourkela in Odisha, I always had an opportunity to plan out my holidays with my family to exotic destinations that are rich in history and heritage in India. Looking back, I have also taken up trekking in Chauragarh hills of Pachmarhi, Shatrunjaya Hills of Palitana, Vaishno Devi or the Muktinath temple in Mustang Valley in Nepal and Lalang Waterfall in rainforests of Tioman Island in Malaysia. I have penned down the Odisha destinations in Pick2Move-India Travel planner brought out by Sampan Media Limited, New Delhi. I have compiled a travelogue themed- “Journeys across India” published by Best Books, Kolkata. I generally take up travel to pen down travelogues, know the art and craft of the faraway lands and of course, I do travel reporting for leading English dailies of India.

Marriott Putrajaya Hotel & Spa


Classy comfort at Marriott Putrajaya

For those planning business trips to Putrajaya, the administrative capital of Malaysia, there’s nothing quite comfortable and classy with modern-styled facilities like Marriott Putrajaya Hotel and Spa. Nestling at a distance of  about 60 km from Kuala Lumpur, Marriott Putrajaya Hotel and Spa is the place to be for big-spenders, those attending business conventions and hosting grand oriental and Indian weddings. During my second visit to Malaysia, I was in luck to head off to Marriott Putrajaya Hotel and took time out to gape at its architectural wonders.

 Sprawling over 25 acres of area, the top-ranking hotel set-up is well-geared with an 18-hole golf course, fitness centre, lagoon-shaped poolside, kiddies’ corner and a huge lobby spreading over 2 acres.  The luxury hospitality group boasts of 488 elegant rooms and its high point is the grand Putrajaya Ballroom done up with grand chandeliers and it stands without the support of any pillars. The ballroom is the largest one in Putrajaya that seats 2,300 guests and is the signature creation of the hotel. The hotel has the contemporary garden ballroom that can seat 250 guests.
