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.

A Malay destination for art buffs

For first-time travellers flying down to Kuala Lumpur and with a yen for art, here’s something far more interesting to know about. There’s Galleria Seri Perdana on Jalan Damansara, an exotic museum located on the hilltop. Galleria Seri Perdana has been the one-time residence of the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr. Mahathir Mohammad. The museum is an imposing landmark in Kuala Lumpur and is replete with furniture and decor belonging to ‘80s era.
