The monsoon seemed to have arrived here. Or are they just pre-monsoon showers?
In any case, I am yearning to go on a trip where I could chase them down. It doesn’t matter if I lose my way in doing so.

Somewhere chasing the black clouds….
We drove on these ‘roads’ for around 12 KMs with no life in sight, only

Picture of the moment: Jalan Petaling
Picture of the moment is a weekly series exhibiting pictures from around the world.
When I turned to this street, I knew I had to click a photo of it to share with my people back home. The colorful houses in a row opposite the road were invitingly attractive. These houses are very old and each one of them has a story attached to it.

I waited there at the crossing near the signboard. The traffic and the passersby were moving …

I consider myself a traveler more than a tourist. Obviously, we wanted to see and live the real Malaysia. We wanted to see its people and learn something about them and their country. So, booking a packaged tour …

How do you prefer to travel if you happen to go by road ? We counted; this car had total 10 people traveling in it. Do you think it was a fun ride or shortage of vehicles or a strong emotional bond was tying them together ?
