On 28th September, 2017, stopped by a road side dhaba. It is indeed a pleasure to stop by one of the roadside dhabas as we take a road trip from Delhi to Chandigarh. The whole Haryana belt is dotted by these dhabas, eateries of different hues, colour and sizes. One gets lovely paratha's of Alu, Gobi, Muli, paneer(potatoes, cauliflower, radish, cheese) and what not. The milk products, lassi and butter are great. I am very impressed with the level of hygiene and the quality of the food. Even the toilets are neat and clean and well maintained. Yes, indeed things are changing in our country and inspite of the dust and crowd on the roads it is fun to take a road trip.
As a feminist historian working on South Asian history for the past forty years, I went back into the past and started thinking of my various Journeys in to life and through life. This blog would then give a peep into history and the different civilizations, cultures and the people that one comes across in this journey. I do not keep these in chronological order, but the Journey the place becomes the focus.

Statue of Liberty
In New York 0n 3rd September, 2017, visited the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbour. It was a lovely evening with the New York skyline visible at one end. We sailed in ships that travel the river for a hour and half to reach the island. There were a large number of tourists from different countries all admiring the symbol of freedom a loving gift of the French people to America.
