Travel+Leisure. Nov 2026. The central Indian state of Maharashtra is considered one of the best places to see wild Bengal tigers in the world. One of its largest cities, Nagpur, India, is nicknamed the “Tiger Capital of India” since it sits within easy driving distance of several reserves. But if you want to spend a […]

Travel+Leisure. November 2026. Growing up in India, a visit to The Imperial New Delhi was always exciting in our family. It was our go-to for visits to the capital, with convenient access to our favorite shopping spots at nearby Janpath and Connaught Place. I have fond memories of meeting friends over celebratory afternoon pastries that led […]

Travel+Leisure. Nov 2026. Like many Indians living in big cities, I often escaped the honking traffic and crowded streets for the quiet hill stations and fresh mountain air during school breaks and holidays. The peaceful hills of Himachal Pradesh were just a short road trip from home, yet they felt like another world. I would […]

Khabar Magazine. November 2026 print. Home supper clubs offer what even the fanciest restaurants can’t: intimate, immersive culinary experiences built around gathering and conversation. Here are three supper clubs hosted by South Asians that are redefining what it means to dine out: a vegan Pakistani feast, a Keralan Onam sadya, and a tea-and-botanical indulgence. In […]

National Geographic. Oct 2026. Tucked in the heart of Mexico’s Quintana Roo state, south of the resort-dense Riviera Maya, the Maya Ka’an region is home to 78 Indigenous Maya communities who have long watched over pristine jungles and turquoise lagoon systems.

AFAR. Oct 2026. In the town of East Aurora, I stepped into a brick building where a young man was precisely hand-setting tiny but heavy lead letters of the alphabet into a machine. He looked up and told me I had walked into one of the oldest running printing presses in America. The New York […]

AFAR. Oct 2026. As summer comes to a close, fall foliage fans habitually turn their attention to New England’s winding country roads, but the Midwest is home to a less-trafficked autumnal alternative. The Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas jut into northern Lake Michigan like fingertips poking out of Michigan’s mitten, and by mid-October their hardwood […]

Khabar Magazine. October 2026. Print cover story. When I landed at Beijing Capital International Airport on a summer morning, my Chinese guide, Dana, greeted me. An energetic woman in her 50s, she exuded the confidence of someone who knew her city intimately. Before we had even stepped outside the airport, she handed me a gift: […]

The Renaissance Traveler. Oct 2026. I have always preferred to stay behind the scenes, the one drafting the story. I enjoy observing the world with the quiet detachment of a chronicler. I love watching parades, the buoyant brass fanfare, the delirium of fluttering confetti, the unscripted collisions of municipal pride and folk mythology but I […]

Khabar Magazine. October 2026 print. My cousins in Alpharetta kept telling me about Khan’s Kitchen, a neighborhood restaurant whose food they swore by. Naturally, I had to find out for myself. The name may lead many to assume it is a Pakistani restaurant. But food rarely follows modern borders so neatly. India has one of […]

Fodor’s Travel. September 2026. I eagerly peeked out the window as my flight approached Harry Reid International Airport. Before even traveling there for the first time, I had the map of The Strip memorized. I could recite all the hotels and their corresponding themes like the back of my hand. As a 23-year-old college student, I […]

Georgia Trend. Sept 2026. Twenty-five years ago, I walked into Château Élan Winery & Resort as a curious college student. At the time, Georgia wine was more of a novelty than a destination, and I remember being fascinated that a French-inspired château and winery existed just outside Atlanta. I knew little about wine then, but I knew […]

Khabar Magazine. September 2026 print. On a wall inside The Chai Box Cafe is the photograph of a weathered blue doorway. It is the entrance to founder Monica Sunny’s mother’s childhood kitchen in Banga, Punjab. “There are so many memories behind that door,” Monica said. “My grandmother cooked there. My mother learned to make chai […]

Fodor’s Travel. August 2026. On a cool November morning, deep-blue waters stretched in front of me, while pillowy white clouds drifted across the sky. As we hiked up on the vehicle-free Isla del Sol along Lake Titicaca’s shoreline, passing fields of potatoes and wild herbs, local women selling handwoven ponchos and posing fluffy alpacas, my Thaki […]

Georgia Trend Magazine. August 2026 print. My evening at Jules restaurant, which is tucked inside the rolling countryside of Barnsley Resort, began long before the first course arrived.

Khabar Magazine. August 2026 print. For years, I have walked past enormous transparent bags of makhana at Indian grocery stores without buying them. I knew what they were: those pale, puffy water lily seeds that look a little like popcorn. I knew they were supposed to be good for me. Still, a giant bag of […]

Food & Wine. July 2026. There is a distinct magic in tasting something exactly where it was made. It’s the briny slurp of an oyster eaten roadside on a stormy Irish coast, or the velvety warmth of ice cider sampled in a frozen Quebec orchard. When we travel to eat, the journey itself becomes the […]

Georgia Trend. July 2026 Inside the small, sunlit coffee shop and bakery tucked into Atlanta’s West Midtown neighborhood, flaky croissants glisten behind the pastry case. Golden cheddar chive biscuits sit beside cinnamon rolls and strawberry doughnuts. There are no signs announcing “vegan alternatives” or a lonely corner dedicated to plant-based options. That’s because everything at Flour […]

Khabar Magazine. June 2026 print. For Indians abroad, the mango season is more than a craving—it is memory, identity, and home wrapped in saffron-colored sweetness. Like me, many South Asians living abroad long for a real mango. Not the Mexican varieties stacked neatly on grocery store shelves, but the mangoes that we watched ripen slowly […]

Georgia Trend. May 2026. Atlanta is a city known for its busy brunch spots and lively cocktail bars, but it also offers a diverse range of quaint afternoon tea spots that change the pace. I love the ritual of drinking tea because it makes me feel indulgent with my time, money and delectable small bites. […]

The Real World by Trafalgar. May 2026. In pouring rain, I made my way up the steep, mud-slick trails of Kumo-ga-take, aka Cloud Mountain — one of many wooded peaks of Japan’s beautiful and remote Kunisaki Peninsula. The incline felt far steeper than anything I had trained for, and at every step, my boots sank further into the earth. I stretched […]
