On the ride from the train station to our homestay, the girls and I were sure we would only have enough energy to crawl into our room and doze off. However, the moment we were near enough to get our first glimpse of the beach and the sea, our weariness flew out of the open […]
What an exotic place to be just at the start of a fresh year. As rightly called the Golden City, Jaisalmer with its enchanting views and delicacies have amazed me inextricably. It was an unplanned vacation…just a break from regular hustle bustles of life. One of my friends suggested that February is an ideal time […]
God’s Own Country has been my favorite tourist destination, right from childhood. Topmost on my bucket list, I always nursed a fascination for the beautiful state and when it was time to take the first independent trip, I zeroed on Thiruvananthapuram or Trivandrum, the charming capital of cool Kerala.

And since our regular jobs don’t interact directly with our penchant for history, more than often, we find ourselves indulging our inner history nerd around monuments in various parts of India. This […]
