The Jog Falls

Deep into the forest I stroll to hear the wisdom of my soul 🧘

See you soon 🤗

Gorgeous beaches; finger licking seafood; dotted with temples & churches; covered with a carpet of greenery; known for its festivals, carnivals and the hospitality of the locals - all this & much more can be found in Goa, the smallest State of India which lies on the southwestern coast of this country.

Goa was a Portuguese colony for centuries, from about 1510 until 1961 bringing along Portuguese influence, Christianity & European culture to this state. The official language here is Konkani.

This video clip shows Kharvi dance being performed by the fishing community of Goa. The fishermen are overjoyed after a good catch at the sea. Hence they are celebrating with their families. Enjoy 😍

See you soon 🤗

At The Crossroads Of Life

Well, I somehow find myself standing at a crossroad every other day - indecisive & lost without the internet, roadmap; all alone in a strange land.

Many a times I feel like running back to where I started. Standing there all confused is not easy. It requires courage, determination, faith & lots of positivity to stay focused and move forward in a new direction.

But then that is way better than trudging along the same path year after year complaining & cribbing; for taking that new path or a sudden turn in our lives will teach us to explore, discover, experiment and reach new heights.

Afterall, the best view comes after the hardest climb. Agree?

See you soon 🤗

And into the forest I go to lose my mind & find my soul.

See you soon 🤗

The Landscapes Of India

Welcome to the varied landscapes of India, my dear friends starting with the loftiest mountain range in the world called the Himalayas in the North to the grasslands of India in the South of Himalayan foothills, also spread across parts of central & western India.

We also have two big deserts in India.

A sandy, yellow desert called the Thar Desert/The Great Indian Desert in the North Western State of Rajasthan.

Then a salty desert or White Desert called the Great Rann of Kutch located in the western state of Gujarat.

The gorgeous backwaters of India are mostly found in the South Western state of India called Kerala.

Similarly the lush green tea gardens at Munnar is also located in the state of Kerala in South India.

The coastal areas with its gorgeous beaches spread in the West, East & South of India can be explored all round the year for some adventurous & fun filled activities.

Happy weekend, my dear friends & see you soon 🙌 🤗
