What happens on a Goa Beach ?- Family Beach Activity Guide

What to do at Goa Beaches?  Adventure & Water Sports in Goa My first visit to Goa on a hot summer day was in double-breasted suit; a serpent-like twin tongued tie wrapped around my itchy neck and a laptop in tow. But once I visited the beach of the Taj Fort Aguada, where I was staying I vowed to rip off my tie, burn the suit and move to Goa. In due course, the tie was peeled off, the suits dusted, dry-cleaned, mothballed and hidden in closets that were locked and marked -” Never To Be Opened” The dream [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

Man and Mule- Stories from Kangra Valley Railway

Samloti – The One Horse Town on Kangra Valley Railway in Himachal This post is not much about travel, so please feel free to skip it, unless you want to encourage the forgotten art of storytelling the desi way.

Petition to Railway Minister Sh. Suresh Prabhu

 Rail Minister Please allow own food in Shatabdi / Rajdhani trains to stop food wastage Indian trains have come a long way in terms of modernization and technology while retaining the mystery and joy of traveling to distant destinations in a leisurely way.

Have you ever felt the sense of being a VVIP as your train passes a railway [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

The gist of the matter is that there were some fun games and the emcee for the evening was distributing gifts [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]
