Kerala Visit - Ayurveda At Its Best

-
If you have not been here in the rains, then I must say - its a crime that you have done. Kerala is a destination which one ought to visit during the rainy season - that is August. It might sound a little quirky, but the truth is - if you enjoy walking in the rains - sometimes light and other times heavy; then you won't find a better place filled with greenery.

If you do happen to make a plan, then just move to Kumarakom - which is really beautiful in this season. Bounty with its gems - ayurveda, boat races and temples - it has got all one would be looking for in a peaceful and serene place.

Once you are in Kumarakom - the BACKWATERS TOURIST DESTINATION, do not forget to get yourself pampered with a detox/rejuvenation package. Also try out the special meals which are inclusive of these packages.


Then get on to the route which takes you the famous lake of Kerala - Vembanad. This is the best location if you want to give a closer look to the villages of South India. And yes, once you are here in the month of August, do not miss out the world famous Nehru Trophy Boat Race, which first took place in the honour of Indian Prime Minister - Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Held in the Punnamada Lake near Alappuzha, it takes place in the beautifully ornamented Chandan Vallams ( wooden canoes also known as snake boats); its an occasion which cannot be missed out.

All said and done, be here to see the natural beauty at its best which comes out with all the charms in this season. Be here for the simple reason - be with the nature!!


Location: Kerala, India

The Voyage to Khajuraho - Khajurao Temples

-
Either it is contemporary or its is esthic – in whatever way you can accept it, the sculptures of Khajuraho has always been a question for the mankind. A superb example of the Indo Aryan Architecture, the embellished carvings on the walls of the temples has made them famous. The liberty given in the idols of the not – so liberal Indian society has always been a source of curiosity. Two elements have been highlighted in the temples – women and sex. But why so, Why there are no idols of the gods worshiped in these Temples except Lord Shiva. (There is a separate Temple for Lord Shiva in Khajuraho Temples). Some say these sensuous posturing idols are in fact Tantric Images (Black Magic), pertaining to the fact that they are not limited to Khajuraho. As per this Cult, gratification of the basic instincts is one way to transcend the evils of the world and thus achieve Enlightenment. Bhoga (Physical enjoyment) and Yoga (Spiritual enjoyment) – both are seen as equally valid in the Quest fo...

Kolakatta - Calcutta Hews!

-
How many times have you been to Calcutta. It reminded me of the city - the movie - City of Joy. As i watched the movie i could see the lanes of calcutta running before my eyes The Lindsay Street, the Victoria Memorial, the Rabindra Badi, the Church near the Birla Planitorium.....the list is long. Calcutta begins itself with the steps of Horse Tapping, then it moves to the local EMU - the lifeline of Calcutta people and then the last - the Metro. I still remember the Metro Station Senior Engineer telling me how it was in the beginning when Metro came. Slongans of - ETA CHOLBE NA - IT WON'T WORK - was all around; and see these days - same people, same place - people can't live without the Metro. So do cities change? Calcutta is a slow city, I say this as when i was back in the city after a couple of years, i could remember even the small galis - the narrow lanes, with the names chucked on them. The same banner painted in red saying - Welcome to Calcutta, the same wooden buses -...
