Celeb Travel Diaries

A student journey through the Himalayas with barely enough money for the next meal, to the canals of Venice and the savannahs of Africa, artist Paresh Maity has spent a lifetime moving through the world with a brush in hand, exploring light, colour, people, and landscape.

Allahabad / Prayagraj: rivers and beginnings

Travel, for Amitabh Bachchan, has never been merely the act of moving across distance, but a gradual accumulation of impressions—riverbanks at dawn in Prayagraj, the contemplative anonymity of Kolkata, and the restless momentum of Mumbai. His journeys suggest that places are first experienced quietly, almost privately, before they reappear as memory.

I started going to school by plane from the age of nine

Pico Iyer, the acclaimed essayist and novelist, has long explored the nuances of cultural identity, the meaning of home, and the art of stillness. In his latest book, Aflame: Learning from Silence, Iyer draws on his decades-long experience of retreating to a Benedictine hermitage in Big Sur, California, a deeply personal reflection on the power of silence. He speaks about his many journeys.
