Aloha! I wrote this post during my travels but due to poor connectivity was unable to post it. Do pardon the tardiness. I’m now back from my break and will be returning to my regular blogging schedule. Journey Down Memory Lane: #AtoZ Challenge Reflections 2017 5 April, 2017, Morjim beach, Goa, India I’m cooling my heels at Morjim’s black, sandy beach, Pinacolada on one side and a plate overflowing with the fresh morning catch of jumbo fried Pomfret, salad and some fries…

Z is for Zesty & Zany Life The Conclusion, that continues… As the curtains draw to a remarkable close to the month of A to Z Challenge 2017, a part of me is despondent and the other part, happy as a lark. Despondent at the thought of the closure, happy at the idea of taking a break from the rigours of writing, researching, editing, posting, cross posting, commenting etc (for a bit). I intend to turn these 26 posts into a…

Y  is for Yonder & Beyond Henceforth, and till I live, The World at Large Today is the penultimate day of the great AtoZ writing challenge It’s been a long, fascinating, yet demanding month-long ride. Also my first journey with AtoZ. It was a pleasure compiling 26 different stories of my enthralling travels experiences. Some replete with adventure, some plain simple revelations that the places brought with them and some life’s little nuggets of wisdom lent during the course of these…

X is for Xenial City of Nawabs Another timeless classic   I’m from Lucknow, capital city of Uttar Pradesh in North India, also known as the City of Nawabs. I choose to call it xenial as every pore of this ancient, city exudes hospitality, love and a deep-rooted pride for the cultural heritage. The people of Lucknow are warm, soft-spoken and courteous. The rich cultural heritage of the city is pretty much influenced by the Mughal era. This includes the…

W is for Walk of Wisdom August 2016, Gurugram, India Sometimes it’s uncanny how your little ones will dispense pearls of wisdom your way, at the most unexpected moments. Wisdom that you probably didn’t give a fleeting thought to and that never really crossed the so-called deep recesses of your mind. I have had many such experiences with both my girls. I continue to learn from them each day. I feel, we as parents learn from our children as much…

Post Alert: Slightly long post, but honest to God, you won’t regret it.  V is for Valiant & Victorious Ride 12 February, 2017, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, Gurugram, New Delhi Capital Region, India I’m an avid cyclist. A passion that I engage in it with as much ardor as writing. Though I wish I would ride more often, and have a time set aside each day to cycle, just like the way I have for writing. Well, hopefully someday soon that thought…

U is for Upstream & Upbeat 15 April 2017, Bah, Chambal, District Agra, India By the rivers of Chambal where we sat down, Yeah, yeah we wept, when we remembered downtown When the wicked Carried us away in captivity Requiring of us a song Now how shall we sing the lord’s song in a strange land Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts Be accepted in thy sight here tonight By the rivers of Chambal…

T is for Tides of Togetherness April 2016, Kovalam, Kerala, India Kerala was a destination that I was anxiously waiting to visit and experience for a very, very long time. So when we visited God’s own Country last year, we not only fell heads over heels in love with this breathtaking paradise, but I along with the 8-year-old wanted to leave the big, bad city and move here lock, stock and barrel. DH are you listening?! Sigh! The simplicity, the…

S is for Spiritual Journey  2014, Gurugram, NCR, India My quest for spiritualism is undying. I have been in the spiritual path ever since I can remember. As a kid I used to pray each morning before I left for school, decorating the alter with fresh flowers. Since I studied in a convent school and a convent college too, Jesus was in my life too as one of my saviour’s. This along with Hanuman ji, and the Hanuman challisa that I…

R is for Reflections By Resplendent Kali 20 September 2016, Dandeli, Karnataka, India The DH and I took a memorable sojourn to the Western Ghats, in Karnataka last year. It was monsoons and the weather was wet; and nature was at its lush best. (This is before we drove down to Goa through the wondrous Western Ghats. You could read about our Goa adventures at Gobsmacked in Goa.) Dandeli has a fascinating forest cover in the midst of which lies the River Kali….
