Print This Post December 10, 2015 by Sauvik Biswas 8 Comments

Ways to do the Triund trek There are two options for trekkers. A person may chose to do a day trip. This would require some bit of fitness to cover 20 km to and fro in one go. The other option is to get there, hire a tent and spend a night before descending the … [Read more…]

Morning stroll through McLeod Ganj Market Dharamshala market doesn’t wake up before 10:30 am. I, on the other hand, was woken up by a call from my friend at 7:30 in the morning. After freshening up, I went out into McLeod Ganj Market, which is figuratively only a stone’s throw away from my temporary residence … [Read more…]

Day 4: From Dalhousie to Dharamshala

Breakfast at Dalhousie Bus Stop I had already decided that I would not extend my stay in Dalhousie. The town is designed to accommodate honeymooning couples and families on a leisure trip (and the parents of DPS students and the army guys). I wanted to get to Dharamshala. So, I booked a hotel room online and … [Read more…]

Day 3: Timed run through Dalhousie-Khajjiar-Chamba loop

Sanjay, the caretaker and cook at Hotel Megha View, suggested me a route to explore Chamba region. This involved some kind of timed run using the bus system that runs like a clockwork. He explained that the buses are limited and I had to catch buses at certain times else I would be stranded with … [Read more…]

Trainspotting in Pathankot Pathankot Cantonment (PTKC) was foggy when I got down at 7:15 am. The train was late by over an hour and half. This could be one of the circumstances where I was thankful for a delay. Had it dropped me at 5:30 am, I would have been blinded by poor visibility. Waiting rooms at … [Read more…]

Finishing this year’s NaNoWriMo challenge

Print This Post November 29, 2015 by Sauvik Biswas 3 Comments

NaNoWriMo has been an exhilarating experience for me. I took up the challenge just to test myself. On the 29th day, I wrote the last words, exported a plain text version of the novel and uploaded it for validation. This is what I got. It is just a dumb image that I could have downloaded otherwise. … [Read more…]

Somewhat crawling to the half way point on NaNoWriMo

At this point in time I have almost completed half of my novel. This constitutes the first and the third acts in the 3-act structure of storytelling. From a length point of view, it is recommended that the first act is about 25% of the novel, the middle act is 50% of the novel and … [Read more…]

Velominati Rule #9: If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period. Today was a holiday for us. After doing a 65 km roundtrip of Chikka Tirupati last weekend, me and one of my colleagues, Ravish Verma, decided to do a longer trip. I asked him to pick the route. He ended up … [Read more…]

Losing momentum on the fifth day of NaNoWriMo

Print This Post November 6, 2015 by Sauvik Biswas 1 Comment

I knew this was coming and I would rather tackle it sooner than later. I have sprinted through the easiest part of my novel – the first one third. It was fun to write. The scenes did not carry much burden, plot point or tension and thus, words flowed like a less viscous liquid. I … [Read more…]
