Mumbai to Goa – our first travel trip during this pandemic. A long tiring road trip, 10+ hours but totally worth it. With careful planning and all safety measures in place we set out for a week. We made our home in an Airbnb 70 odd years old Portuguese-era house in North Goa, very committed…
Stay home, stay safe…
Dreaming of such days, wishing for such days, praying for such days… to gaze.. meander.. to ponder.. feel the gentle murmur of the breeze, to feel the warm rays of the aun, to take delight in the thrills of the outdoor. God bless.
Walking the tour and chalking the memories…
We love to walk and taking a self-guided walking tour is a must for us. Every city and town is explored on foot, at least, once. Discovering the beautiful sights and sounds at our own pace, visiting only the attractions we actually want to see, sauntering along care-free has its own charm. The images…
Indulgence… in the cradle of Nature!
The pristine serene surroundings of Pasighat leaves you marvelling at the beauty and lavishness of Nature. Located in Arunachal Pradesh in the north-eastern region of India, along the Siang river, Pasighat is an idyllic destination in the midst of nature. The majestic Siang river, the imposing dark forest within which are nestled many hiking trails,…
The travel itinerary that keeps me SANE!
The much awaited end of the year festive season is almost upon us and most of us are anticipating the holidays to begin so that we can take off for our respective vacations. Planning started months ago and all we need to do now is diligently relook the itinerary, prepare all the relevant documents, pack…
La belle ville de Genève…
This peaceful lakeside heaven is home away from home for me. As I get back to routine life post my surgery, I browse through some pics that gladden my heart and bring out the smiles. The magic of the Jet d’Eau, the history behind the Reformation Wall in the middle of the Parc des Bastions…
Nothing be like childhood and the memories…
The house where I spent my early childhood. Those days, the gated grill wasn’t present, instead a wooden railing used to guard the veranda. A pair of night blooming jasmines planted on either side of the entrance which had somehow made it to the roof would hang down from the trellis that was made to…
Mumbai meri jaan!
Crawford Market, Mumbai – One of the oldest wholesale markets (1871). A must when visiting Mumbai. Yes, it is everything chaotic and noisy but symbolises Mumbai and her people. 💡I would not recommend for young children, below 15 years, in fact. Please leave them behind or else keep a death grip on them. 💡Must carry…
Travelling woes!
While travel can be enlightening, entertaining and even empowering it is not free from hassles and horrid situations. It can at times, seem like a bad dream from which you are unable to awaken even after consistent efforts. These nightmarish situations can befall us due to poor planning, sheer bad luck or because we are…
A little bit of heaven…
A little bit of heaven in God’s own country, Kumarakom, in the backwaters of Kerela in southern India is a village (a cluster of little islands) on Vembanad Lake. We visited Kumarakon, over an extended weekend, more than a decade ago. The lazy backwaters settles you in for a leisurely holiday. Choose to stay in…
