Redefining travelogues..

i just re-wrote my impressions on travelogues, and travel diaries to be specific, after reading a piece from Maithreyi Nandakumar.. the author is with BBC's radio Bristol.. and the piece i like to talk about is her experiences of visitng the royal palace and meeting with the Queen and The Prince.. it is a rare, and once in a lifetime, opportunity to get invited for the Queen's luncheon gathering @the Buckingham Palace.. each and every sentence in the memoir was meticulously carved to tickle the reader's imagination and taking them to a virtual tour of the palace... the language is beautiful, lucid and crystal-clear.. and you wind up the column with a dejavu..... of enjoying the royal luncheon yourself... kudos to this lady.. i have added one more in my repertoir of must read colmnists.. here comes the elite...

Maithreyi Nandakumar,V. Gangadhar, Ramachandra Guha ,Sasi Tharoor and Sevanti Nainan...

check out a piece from Mrs. Nandakumar..

so long
