Mr. D. B. Banerjee
I had always wanted to explore the Northeast, a part of India that felt both familiar and wonderfully distant at the same time. There was something especially exciting about travelling to a place whose landscapes, traditions and way of life were so different from what I had grown up seeing. So, when the opportunity came for the four of us to travel from Odisha to Mizoram, we were filled with a quiet excitement about what […]

Travelling internationally with a multigenerational group comes with its own kind of energy. Everyone has different interests, different stories and different things they want to see. Someone is looking for the perfect photograph, someone wants to know the history behind a place, someone is excited about the food, and someone is simply enjoying being somewhere new. Our winter journey through Italy and Switzerland in 2024 brought all of this together. From the mountains and lakes […]

Ms. Namita Adhikary, Bhutan Summer Cohort 2 (2026) and Mr. Bhagirath Saha, Bhutan Summer Cohort 3 (2026)
Mr. Bhagirath Saha, Bhutan Summer Cohort 3 (2026) For much of my journey, I have held the conviction that exploring the world is the secret to enduring youth. As a retired electrical engineer who stepped away from professional life in 2009, I committed myself to witnessing as much of our planet as possible. My adventures have spanned the landscapes of Europe to the plains of Masai Mara, guided by various tour groups. Each expedition enriched […]

おはよう (Ohayō). Good morning. That phrase lodged in our brain from day one in Japan. Even now, a week later, it kicks off our day like an echo from the trip. We arrived in Tokyo with that unmistakable first-time excitement, beginning at Tokyo DisneySea—a place where joy came easily and strangers began to feel familiar. The group moved with a kind of shared rhythm, sometimes splitting, sometimes coming back together, but always held together by […]

Some journeys feel planned, and some feel like they are slowly revealing a story as you move through them. Tripura was the latter. What started as a visit during Basanti Puja soon unfolded into a deeper understanding of faith, history, and a royal legacy that continues to shape the region even today. In Udaipur, the Tripura Sundari Temple stands as one of the 51 Shaktipeeths, and also as a significant marker of the Manikya dynasty. […]

With the careful planning of SilverGenie Wanderlust, the experience was shaped to allow comfortable, slow exploration, letting us fully absorb the incredible richness of each location. Our introduction to India was the vibrant city of Mumbai. From the moment we landed, the city felt […]

After spending more than four decades in laboratories and hospitals- studying cells, diagnosing disease, and observing life through a microscope, retirement has slowly taught me to observe the world differently. Travel, I have realised, is another kind of diagnosis. You read landscapes, people, cultures, and moments. Our recent journey to Assam was one such experience that left a lasting imprint on me. This trip was particularly special because it was not just a holiday. We […]

Ms. Paroma Ganguly
Egypt was not a destination you simply visited. It was a place you entered slowly, guided by people, history, weather, and moments that felt older than language itself. This journey was less about ticking landmarks and more about listening to what a country revealed when you let go. Arrival Without Anxiety: The Ease of Travel My first impression of Egypt was how surprisingly seamless everything felt. From visas to transfers, hotels to pacing, the entire […]

Some trips are more than just travel plans. They come from a feeling you can’t quite explain. This visit to Nagaland was one of those. It felt like going back to where parts of me began. What followed were days filled with colour, culture, familiar faces, and moments that brought back memories while creating new ones I know I’ll carry with me. This blog is also deeply personal because Nagaland is where I was born. […]

As the years go by, the way I travel has changed. I still enjoy seeing new places, but I am less interested in rushing from one spot to another. What matters more now is how a journey feels while you are in it and how settled you feel when you return home. Our three days in the Sundarbans fit well into this rhythm. Day 1: An Easy Start We started on the 21st of December […]
