About the tumbler
Hello Everyone, This is Ashish.Thanks for visiting my blog.
I am from Pune, India. I am Java Programmer n far from being a nerd. I am working in Taiwan since Oct 2005 and this blog is my way to be in touch with my family & friends in India. Also I want to improve my English writing skills so started this blog.
I would be sharing my experiences, thoughts and anything that I come across during my tumblings here in Taiwan formerly known as Formosa [In Chinese it means Beautiful Island]
I have been to North [Taipei and Taoyuan County], central [Taichung and changhua] and south [Kaohsiung] of Taiwan. Haven’t checked out East of Taiwan much.


Hi Ashish
You are doing a great job,the blog is fine.Photos are very good.I am one of your fellow country man in Taipei from Kerala.Hopes you are fine.Bye
Sincerely Manesh
Manesh >> I’m glad you like it. Well I will be in Taipei coming weekend and the next one. I will drop you a mail and let see if we can hang out for some time.
Hi Ashish, You have some wonderful posts here with some awesome photographs,good travelogues and your life in Taiwan. Hope to read more…..
Thanks Meghna. I hope I can keep up with you expectations. I went over to your blog and I must say you make a hell of a great writer for 13 years of age. To tell you the truth at 13 I used to flunk in english tests :P Aaah well but those were the funniest times of my life.
You are an inspiration girl and on my reader now ;)
Keep well and keep writing
Formosa mean Beautiful in Portuguese, who were the first Western sailors in these parts.
Hey thanks Beppi. Well my Chinese is as good as my Portugese so forgive me for getting it wrong :)
Wish you Many Many Happy Returns of the Day Ashish 05 Dec 08

Thank you SO much Ribbon :) you made my day <:-P Sending you loads of happy wishes from Taiwan, cheers
Hi! I randomly came across your blog and really enjoyed reading about your experiences in Taiwan. Good work!
Thanks a lot Andrew :) I am glad you liked it and apologize as I am not as consistent as much I would like updating it.
Randomly landed here in search for info on Taiwanese Cinema enjoyed reading the blog..Cheers.
Hi Nitesh. Thank you so much buddy >:D< Thats one cool blog and website you have and for a good cause I might add. Me and friends would be very interested to know more about it. You just earned couple more Indian cinema ardent fans to follow cinephile. Do you have any thing going on in Pune?
Hi ashin,
Thanks for the support…really aprpeciate that. We had a meeting in Pune this month but it was not very successful, as we hardly know anyone there. So if anyone would be interested in organising a film lovers meet and screening once a while there it would be great just to get whole India connected on that.
