What Afthab writes about
- Visa rules for Indian passport holders — what changed in 2026, application step-by-step, common rejection reasons
- Real cost breakdowns in INR — what trips actually cost from Indian metros, not aggregator listicles
- Multi-country routing — Japan + Korea + Taiwan style loops, the visa choreography that works
- The boring infrastructure — forex cards, eSIMs, travel insurance, what actually saves money on the ground
