I am an urbanite. Cities. People. Grit. Streets. Architecture. Art. Fashion. Food.

I am working towards visiting 100 cities. The 100 Cities project originated from two things. a. The Travelers' Century Club. And b. my love for cities.

While visiting 100 countries is not exactly feasible for me in the near future, visiting 100 cities is a more reasonable ambition. So while I work to join the Century Club (that's the longer aim), I thought I would do 100 cities first. The list of cities on the left are the ones I've visited so far.

So what do I call a city? That's a tricky one. Usually, it's among the country's top-10 cities culturally, has a sizeable population and has a distinct character of its own. e.g. Are San Francisco and San Jose two different cities? No. Are Jodhpur, Udaipur, Pondicherry cities? Yes, but not for the purpose of this list. Simply said, I use my discretion.

(TCC is a club for people who have visited 100 or more countries.)
