Travel date: May 2008 The land indescribable in words and photographs - literally. You can get a feel of Venice only once you’re IN Venice !!! we got off the lazy airport waited for the bus which was an astonishing 15 mins late (the only time something was ever late in Europe). Dumped bags & headed off to the streets of Venice…. grabbed the 1st pizza we could lay our hands on (YUMM- who says authentic italian pizzas are bland???!!!) Most lanes leading to st mark’s square had lovely small souvenir shops selling magnets & masks. We hogged on ice creams, [View Full Entry]

Travel Date: May 2009 I had made up my mind to travel to Europe a year before the trip. But at that time neither did I have any monies nor did I have any leaves (new job). So my target was to go by mid-2008 which I did. But what I didn’t realise was the great ordeal I will have to face in picking and choosing which places to go! You got only this many days and this much budget whereas Europe is an endless ocean with sooooo many things that you DON’T wanna skip ! So after SEVERAL permutations & [View Full Entry]

(Ok it wasn’t so big and it wasn’t so fat a holiday- but it was a brief two day out of the ordinary one !) Flight to Athens ~ Well let me start about telling you about Amsterdam. Why ? cuz I wanna boast of course. So what if I didn’t go to Amsterdam- I did go to the Amsterdam airport! The view from the plane was amusing…. Patches of green land - all in squares and rectangles - separated by water canals / streams ! seemingly under sea level- so they call [View Full Entry]

When it comes to ’taking a break’, spontaneity is the key word. The more spontaneous u are, the more exciting will the trip be!!! And considering I wanted to be away for 2-3 weeks to another continent which required these horribly irritating things called ’visas’ which required showing a confirmed itinerary, the spontaneity went for a toss ! Not only was submitting duniya bhar ka documents to prove to the firangs that YEP, I wont go broke in your expensive country w [View Full Entry]

Heading to london : Began with reading (in the flight) about the heated debate on reducing the maximum limit of 24 week within which abortions are legal. This is pretty strange… why would women want to abort their 6 month old baby ! even more astonishing were the surveys that were conducted in this regard which indicated over 2 lac abortions p a in UK …. Out of which most women had had over 4 abortions… some upto a staggering 8 times. crazy ! Plus there was a write up on woody [View Full Entry]

The place is MEANT TO breathe the fresh (air-conditioned) air of ……….shopping malls! I dislike shopping malls in India. Cuz shopping malls in India= painful parking tickets + painfully noisy over sized families walking around + painfully slow cashiers + painfully over artificial sales staff + NO VARIETY. I feel sheer agony just thinking of the no of times I’ve walked out empty handed as I couldn’t get items in my size/ color / type. Sheer waste of time, walking around aimlessly paying monies for the disorganised parki [View Full Entry]
