Hiking, photography, and whatever the camera happened to be pointed at.
When I'm not at a terminal I'm usually walking up something, generally with a camera. Conferences have a way of turning into travel, so a fair bit of this is the by-product of academic trips.
South Korea
Mostly Seoul, in the two weeks of autumn when the ginkgos turn. Plus a lot of night markets.
Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala
Backwaters, a very large Shiva, and the Arabian Sea.
Irshalgad, Maharashtra
A Sahyadri hill fort in the monsoon: everything green, everything wet, and good flowers if you look down.
Bengaluru
At ICTS for a meeting, camera in the bag as usual.
Closer to home
Around Mumbai and the Western Ghats.
