Divine Dusk: #WORDLESSWEDNESDAY   A divine dusk at Radhanagar beach, Havelock, Andaman and Nicobar islands is all that we needed to complete our vacation goals. This after we had returned from another surreal scuba expedition. The light was perfect, the birds were off to their home, and so were our brethren travellers who were making their way back to their respective hotels, after a relaxed day of soaking up the pristine goodness of this enchanting land.  #WordlessWednesday 63 Here’s how…

The Rafting Adventure: #WanderlustWednesday

This is a long overdue about my exhilarating rafting adventure in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India. Rishikesh, some of you would know has earned its name as the “Yoga Capital of the World”. Teeming with ashrams that offer Yoga and meditation this bustling little township, nestled in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas, has been a haven for spiritual seekers. This much before the Beatles rocked at the ashram of Mahesh Yogi in the late 60s. The holy river Ganges flows through…

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…

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…

A place away from home that we sometimes like to get away to and unwind. Well, I have mine right next door, in my neighbourhood. It’s my go-to-place when I’m bogged down with home management, need a solitary break, or want to write or work – away from the confines of my home (basically a change in…

N is for Nebulous Adventure of the Night 15 April, 2017, Bah, Chambal, District Agra, Uttar Pradesh This was possibly the most adventurous Easter weekend I’ve ever had. We just returned this evening and I look back incredulously and marvel at the arm loads of memories I have carried back, of my rendezvous with the different creatures of the wild. That too in a matter two days! Something I’ve never witnessed in my entire life. These beautiful beasts of the wild…

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…
