Travels 2023- 2024

 Today I am writing almost after a gap of 2 years. Actually the year

2023 & 2024 have been quite busy as I was traveling a lot.I had been to India for almost 6 months & went to Kerala ,Mumbai , Kashmir & Varanasi.

India is a country of Diversities ,I will like to talk little about all the places I visited. 

First of all We went to Kerala —- Kovlam Beach — the Resort

Udaya Samudra , it was a beautiful property, situated on the ocean with fantastic views of dense forests , walkways , Theater, gym and other facilities. South Indian Food was excellent . We had the luxury of private car with Driver7. But the problem we faced was , the driver could not converse in any language which we could understand. This barrier of conversation was a stumbling block in our travels . 

We went to Kochi ,another coastal town with Naval Headquarters. We stayed in a boat at Kochi & enjoyed the hospitality provided by the Travel company . 

Now let me talk about Mumbai , I always visit Mumbai during my visit to India as my sister lives there . She is a great person , full of life ,very caring , loving & loves me a lot . We get so nostalgic when we talk about our childhood, college life & other sisterly talks about life . I visit her friends & other relatives for dinners or other festivities . I always cherish such activities. I did lots of shopping at Mumbai —- Diamond jewelry, clothes, some sweets , spicy snacks & tit bits.shopping is another obsession, I like to shop where ever I go . It is fun especially if I am visiting some new country or location .

Next destination was Varanasi , a very famous Temple Town where

Hindus like to visit & die to achieve “Moksh “ —- salvation from this “ Birth- Death “ cycle of humanity . We had gone there for visiting Famous Kashi Vishavnath Temple . I had visited this place 20-25 years ago , but now what a transition, it is beautifully remade with huge corridors made with marble & granite , it is spic and span , very pretty but full of millions of people ,so crowded . Pious river Ganges is another attraction of Varanasi. We did witness Ganga Aarti , another attraction of this place . In nutshell visiting this historical Temple town was worth the effort .

We also visited Sarnath ——— It is one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage destinations in the world . It is located 13 kilometers north east of Varanasi . It was here that Buddha preached his first discourse in the deer park . 

After that we had enjoyed the famous street food of Varanasi before ending our journey & returning to Delhi .ok good bye
