Scot-free in ‘Scotch’ land

To drive or not to drive…….or……to fly or not to fly: that was a million dollar(or Pound or Euro)question for us when we were drawing up the itinerary for the England to Scotland journey. Advises were aplenty to take the road so as to not miss the scenic beauty of the landscape en route. We … Continue reading Scot-free in ‘Scotch’ land →

Ram In ????

“Garbled” may be a misnomer-it was something m..o…r….e… than that my mind was full of. My way from Austria to the ancient city was filled with the thoughts of Julius Caesar, Nero & his fiddle, the Colosseum and the magnum opus cinemas Ben-Hur, Godfather, Gladiator, Italian job, the vehicle giants Fiat, Renault, Peugeot, Vespa and … Continue reading Ram In ???? →

Ponavaaram at Pichavaram

The choice of Pichavaram as a destination for the good ‘old’ childhood friends could not have gone better-an excursion for children of yesteryears!

V.(ery)nice Venice

VENICE was the next destination for us from Florence in our tour itinerary.

WALKER IN BAKER

On a random run through of the pages of my diary, I stopped with an interesting piece, which I am gonna share with you now.

SPRING OF FALL

Coming from a region where the temperate climates four seasons are hot summer, hottest summer, lesser summer and moderate summer, I was excited to see in many places around the world, where the four seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter follows in heights of precision.
