 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.

{D) is for Died and Went to Heaven #AtoZChallenge

B is for Boisterous Fruit Bats April 2016, Kumarakom, Kottayam District, Kerela, India It was a balmy evening in God’s Own Country (Kerela), as I sat by the banks of Vembanad lake gazing at the cerulean sky, gradually turning into a shade of grey and then charcoal. The girls, DH & I had walked to the Vembanad lake that languorously kissed the banks of our getaway. We were excited to catch a glimpse of the amorous setting sun. But as…
