  M is for Mighty Cerulean Sea October 2006, Panglao Island, Bohol, Central Visayas, The Philippines Our vacation to Bohol is one experience that we will continue to cherish the most. It was our first holiday destination in the gorgeous Philippines, where we lived from 2006-2007. Bohol is an island province in the Central Visayas region, consisting of the island itself and 75 minor surrounding islands. We took a short flight to Tagbilaran, Bohol’s capital city, from Manila. The fresh balmy…

L is for Luxuriant Countryside January 2012, Ganaili Village, Munger, Bihar, India I’m addicted to nature. Living a natural and organic life are my mantra. I’m guessing, by now you want to whack me on the head for going on and on about it (that’s if you’ve been following my blog)! So let’s  get straight to the story.

K is for Kitschy Trip to Kasauli March 2015 Imagine you are undertaking a meandering journey to the mountains; all excited, hopeful and with that sparkle of anticipation in your eyes. Away from the busyness and monotony of life in the plains. As your MPV starts making that climb uphill, you literally clutch your heart in excitement, in prescience (apparently) of what the climb ahead holds. Life will be peaking with joy during the next 5 days of your holiday…

J is for Jaunt to Fairyland? March 2017,Gurugram, North India By now you all must know that my A to Z posts are about Travel Epiphanies. What does travel mean to you? Is it about making a journey to a distant land, of exploring the unexplored, or revisiting places away from home? For me travelling does not just translate to leaving town and going on a break. I believe that each day we travel in our own little ways through…

I is for Intimidating, Yes; Imaginary, No 2006, Manila, The Philippines 2006 was about new beginnings, an exciting start to a new life, of chasing adventures and dreams. We had moved to Manila. My now 18 year old was all of 8. The DH had already shifted to Manila from work. He had painstakingly searched and found a beautiful condominium called Spanish Bay, in the lovely Bonifacio Ridge that we rented out. We took to Manila like fish to water. We would…

H is for Happy Birthday to You June 2013, Vivanta by Taj, Madikeri, Coorg, Karnataka, India Day 2, 5:30 IST: In the wee hours of a misty, rain drenched morning in stunning Coorg (where we were on a holiday), my lucid dreams were broken by somebody whistling. A shrill, happy whistle, the pattern of notes going up and down the scale, a whistle that stood out amidst the pitter-patter of the rain. One that sounded like a melodious, “Happy Birthday to you.”…

 G is for Gobsmacked in Glorious Goa September 2016, Betalbatim beach, South Goa, India Gobsmacked in glorious Goa!! Oh yes, we so were. The DH and I were making our first, long trip together; minus the girls. It was amazing to spend time with each other minus the distractions of, “Mamma can I sleep next to you? Mamma can we go shopping for my shampoo and face wash?”  “The feeling”; well as though we were dating all over again!!! South…

E is for Entranced by My Enigmatic Roots November 2015, Katwa, District: Burdwan, West Bengal, India The river Ganga lay lazily sprawled by the banks of the little township, Katwa that bustled with wonder and activity. The drums reverberated with booming splendor, at every by nook and corner. The drums had made a grand comeback with the arrival of Goddess Kali’s puja, which was celebrated each year with enthusiastic fanfare a day before Diwali (the Indian festival of lights). Almost…

D is for Died and Went to Heaven January 2007, Anilao, Philippines The New Year’s day of 2006 will remain etched in my mind for as long as I live. A day I actually did die and discover heaven; a heaven that lay beyond my imagination. We were then a family of  three. The 18-year-old was about 8; as old as my 8-year-old now. Those who have read my blog probably know I have two girls. Currently 8 and 18. Well, now…
