  • Manila: nights and the beach

    A Filipino beach near Manila. An ‘active’ volcano and a lake in Tagaytay, near Manila. Wrestlers midgets and lady boxers AND live music in bars of Manila.

  • Day Out in Manila. Photos

      These are not the photos taken in a day. One day MK and I went to the Immigration office to inquire about visa extension (he had extend while I wasn’t sure if I needed to). [In another outing AL and PB were also present.] A branch office where we first went to wouldn’t do…

  • Manila Food. Hint: too much meat :)

    Too much meat. Too little vegetable. My impression of the food in Manila- especially on restaurants that are crowded by middle class and lower middle class Filipinos. I eat meat but not much. I like to try new food but such trial must always been interrupted, may be two days, by dal bhat tarkari 🙂…

  • Tricycles of Manila

    ,

    When I first rode a tricycle in Manila I sat behind the driver the way men do in Nepal when they ride pillion on a motorcycle. I was told later by a Filipino friend of mine that that was the wrong way of sitting on a tricycle. The correct way, I was told, was to sit like…

  • Mall of Asia, Manila Bay and a Glass of Draught Beer (a Photo Album)

    In my first evening out in Manila, I was taken to Manila Bay and the Mall of Asia. Here are some images taken during that trip. I went to both of these places later too during daytime. I am not a great fan of beer- alcohol in general- and draft beer was certainly new to…

  • Suvarnabhumi

    Trying to make the most out of 15-minutes-of-free-WiFi -access at Suvarnabhumi. It’s been four hours since I landed at Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok. Fifteen more hours to go before I get into a plane that will take me to another Asian capital. I must thank Gandaki (pictured) and Captain Shrestha for the smooth flight and (landing). PS:Will…

  • मेरो इन्टरनेटसँगको भेट

    ,

    दिनेश वाग्ले त्यति प्रस्टसँग होइन तर इन्टरनेटसँगको त्यो पहिलो जम्काभेट म अझै सम्झिन्छु । सन् १९९७ तिर कान्तिपथमा एउटा साइबर क्याफे थियो जहाँ म अन्य दुई साथीसँग पुगेको थिएँ । ब्राउजरमा खोलेको पहिलो साइट याहु.कम थियो र सर्च बाकसमा त्यतिबेला एउटा सिरियल खेलेर चर्चित हलिउड अभिनेत्रीको नाम टाइप गरेका थियौं । सामाजिक सञ्जाल अहिले फेसन बने पनि…

    ठूलो पार्न क्लिके हुन्छ दिनेश वाग्ले त्यति प्रस्टसँग होइन तर इन्टरनेटसँगको त्यो पहिलो जम्काभेट म अझै सम्झिन्छु । सन् १९९७ तिर कान्तिपथमा एउटा साइबर क्याफे थियो जहाँ म अन्य दुई साथीसँग पुगेको थिएँ । ब्राउजरमा खोलेको पहिलो साइट याहु.कम थियो र सर्च बाकसमा त्यतिबेला एउटा सिरियल खेलेर चर्चित हलिउड अभिनेत्रीको नाम टाइप गरेका थियौं ।

  • खुस्सी छु !

    ,

    दिनेश वाग्ले हालैको एक साँझ चिसो हावा चलिरहदा बडो रोमान्टिक मुडमा म काठमान्डूको तीनकुनेबाट नयाँ बानेश्वरतिर लम्किरहेको थिए । लाग्यो म निकै फुरूङ्ग परेको छु । मै मात्र हो कि बाटोमा हिडिरेका अरु पनि खुसी छन् ? ‘ए बाजे,’ मैले मिनभवनमा हिडिरहेका एक बृद्धलाई आफ्नो परिचय दिएपछि सोधे । ‘कत्तिको खुसी हुनुहुन्छ ?’ कतिबेला कसले…
