From foothills of Himalayas,
To Backwaters of Kerala.
From the slums of Calcutta,
To the beaches of Goa.
India will always
fascinate,shock and excite you!!
Just today,we the family members were planning out for a trip.So,I thought I should google out some places worth visiting this vacation..Just when I typed,The top 10..google..as usual(as they say,like a wife) prompted me with "Top 10 places of the world".. In hurried, I clicked it and what I found was Gujarat being third in the list of "10 most beautiful but unsung places on this Earth! "(http://www.lonelyplanet.com/italy/friuli-venezia-giulia/trieste/travel-tips-and-articles/77017)"..I have been living here since I was 6-month-old toddler..but have never been anywhere except a few places..I suggested my family that we should first explore the locals..And yess,the sun's obviously troubling the people with its 43 deg temperature..but we need not worry..because when you've got excitement and Lakme Sun expert as well..evrything goes smooth and fine!
But,the problem was..I wasnt having anyone of my age-goup in my family..But thanks to Lakme again..they have given me a chance to invite the Sunshine Gal-Kyra!
Hola Kyra!
Kyra..before we actually began our journey in Gujarat..let me brief you about the people here and the places we gonna visit!
Aaavo Padharo-words of welcome in the language of Gujarat! As thay say"Atithi Devo Bhava", these for the Gujaratis are not merely the three Sanskrit words..They actually mean it..For them,guests are truly God!The people here are gregariously friendly,inviting and will entice you to come again and again! Believe me..my own experience!
One of the beaches at Diu!
The laid back ex-Portugese island of Diu -the churches,the beaches,the museums,the forts,the place where you'll hear the music of nature,the cold breezes with the sunshine sparkling on your face,where beauty and serenity meet..The place lapped by the Andaman sea and wrapped by the superb beaches!
Wow!!
The rolling hills of Saputara,the sight of sun dip at the Saputara lake as the sky begins to shimmer with stars,the paragliding activities,the trekking..Whoa! It will be so much fun!
The spectacular Asiatic Lions!
Beautiful Lion prowling the day,Princely forlorn
finding her prey
pouncing and crounching!
Indian sunset,
blistering red orange,
gold sky burning,
sunset filled with colours!
Indian Lion,
bending down low,
wandering stream bed,
twisting and turning,
sipping cool water,
white belly scratching the ground,
without a whisper or a sound..
as the Indian sunset,
beckons the end
of another beautiful Indian day!
