This blog came about from my experiences. It just started when I was telling stories about my travels and experiences, when a couple of friends (a shout out here to Raag and Suchi) suggested that I write a blog sharing these stories. The purpose of this blog is to simply be entertaining but it also aims to be informative. It is not written with the intention of providing travel tips, though you surely might be able to garner a tip or two occasionally. I might write about a specific interesting encounter, or about how I managed travel with pain, or how a family of vegetarians can survive well in different places! Or perhaps even a few stories come to mind of being a woman traveling alone - the challenges, and sometimes, the fears of doing so.
First - my name is not Roxy! There is a story of how this name came about. I was with dinner with a group of friends (girls), and we were talking about how our traditional Indian names can sometimes be difficult when we are on the phone, for example, to make a reservation at a restaurant. So in that group, we decided to give each other sexy American names which we could use whenever we did not want to be bothered with having to spell out or repeat our names to a stranger on the phone. My friends, at that dinner table, baptized me Roxy - and it stuck!
In the interest of integrity, let me add that the slider photos at the top of these website pages are stock photos. The girl in high heels above is not me. However all other photos have been taken by me or by someone in my family or circle of friends. If any stock photo happens to sneak in somewhere, I'll be sure to say so.
