Random Rants

Well, each one of us have read in one or the other blogs ...'Why I quit my five/six-figure salary to travel'? Really! Quit five/six figure salary at this juncture when world-over big corporates are cutting jobs at the time of recession? Well, that too for travel?  Is this a sole reason? Or you've been handed pink slip for day dreaming exotic locations sans meeting work deadline (pun intended)? And then, you come across a new breed of travel junkies who want to experience some adventure in their otherwise monotonous life. My question to you (the so called) travel enthusiasts, why did you even choose such a career that has erratic work schedule? A more deserving one would have got that admission /job. So, you think you've been bitten by a travel bug? Yeah! We can see your pics of motorcycle trip to Leh/ Ladakh, shaking leg with the kaalbaleiyaans at the sand dunes of Jaisalmer, on a spiritual sojourn to Dharamsala & Gaya, scuba diving at the Andamans, ex...

Kaleidoscope

Hues of Purple Amidst the vast expanse of emerald green plateau, vivid hues of violet and pink. The golden sonki sway in the gentle breeze. The sky bends and folds, gleaming rainbow graces sky many ways with its vibrant colours. Rain drops splutter, the sky breaks to red and then purple… It was a nature’s kaleidoscope.

Regal Rajasthan

Palace of Winds 'Hawa Mahal', Jaipur Sheer opulence, splendid architecture, extravagant lifestyle, fleet of vintage cars, expensive trousseau of the ‘ROYALS’. Lo and behold!! Yes, I am talking about the riches of the Regal Rajasthan. Rajasthan has fascinated me in many ways …right from its food, its culture, Thar Desert and of course…its grandeur. As it is said, every journey has a story to narrate. Certainly, even my journey to ' Land of kings' have a different story to narrate. Hills and mountains have always intrigued me .And my tryst with fort happened more than five years back  and am totally smitten ever since... Food is another aspect that hooked me to' Land of Royals'. Ok, here is my honest confession...you need steel guts and definitely a seasoned palate to digest earth's most pungent food i.e; Rajasthani food. I must have cried buckets while savouring on few of the local delicacies. Frankly, I can vouch on the popular s...

Theory of Life

Image
Once again, I sit to write but there are no words... I yearn to express myself, but deep within an unreasonable silence prods me to the hilt. The very soul, like a kite, stuck in the 'hurricane of worrying thoughts'. But the kite still drifts, flutters and rise again in the strong winds. Isn’t this a simple nature's theory to remember for life-time? Do not nurse your bruised ego; there is only regret and sorrow in the end...

Nellai Travelogues

Holidays are not always pre-planned, at time decisions are made in impulse. But some are meant to be experienced and explored without any inhibitions or hesitance. Literally, the year may not have started on a good note...But it definitely unveiled the travel bug in me; right from traversing the coffee estates of Coorg to exploring the shores of Rameswaram. Even though many believe, unplanned holidays are not ideal choice for women venturing the unknown destinations. Put that thoughts to rest, bagpack your haversack and explore the unknown terrain. Been there, done that! The first destination was Tirunelveli, also popular for its halwa, has many places worth visiting like Nellaippar temple, Nagercoil, Courtallam and few more waterfalls of perennial rivers. Acres and acres of paddy fields, palm trees and definitely good food. For the nature lovers, there are well-protected tiger reserves of Mundanthurai, Kalakkad and Manimuthar. No place could be well explored without a guide. Best ...

Similie

My 'life' like a 'jigsaw' was mended together . He helped in giving 'my life' a shape, and glued together the broken pieces. Call it a master-piece, everything was put together perfectly. He painted my life in hues of rainbow. And I, in his name, painted the world in red. And this is how it feels to be in 'love'? However, the world is not so colourful, as it appears from the rose-tinged glass. I realised, it is either black, white or gray.   I no more cherish beautiful stars of the night. But I fear the dreadful demon –l oneliness would swallow me one night. Now, neither he or the promises are with me. I was rather happy in my small world. But now, I am left mid-way in distress. And the jigsaw puzzle... is unsolved

Blogger's Conundrum

Image
This must be my third or fourth attempt to confess, 'I am the most socially inactive person in the tech-savvy world! For the tech-nerds, I am the retard who cannot differentiate 'tweets' to 'like' or when to add '#hashtag' for a post. Henceforth, I am not talking about my socially-active mates, who regularly 'link', 'share' or generate maximum 'like' for their post. And definitely not going to talk about their blog, which is on the top ten ranks of the search-engine (I am not green-eyed!). I am not even looking at the so called 'informative' blogs (exception for those on food, travel and on books....). Am not going to rant about everything and anything under the sun. Did the list went too long? Well, then on what topic should I write for my blog? Technology gets big 'NO' and filmy gossips come second. Well, am one of those who doesn't believe in spending on apparels beyond thousand bucks (mom calls me, 'mise...
