As a hobby, every Sunday after a sumptuous breakfast, i pick up a chit about some random place in the world and read about it over the next one week. The reading covers history, geography, culture and anything i can access through Google .

While indulging in my somewhat strange hobby, i have come across such interesting facts, figures and anecdotes, that i have felt like sharing them with others. Some of the videos and documentaries, especially relating to world heritage sites are simply mind boggling. Then i thought, if i posted them on a blog, even i could access them any time, anywhere. So here i begin. - Yours truly, Manish Desai.
