Wednesday, February 07, 2007. The Goan Holiday - January 20th 2007. It was our last day in Goa. I woke up with a heavy heart knowing that the trip had almost ended. We had breakfast at Café Del Mar and enjoyed a live entertai. Nment session of a rope walk by a local girl. We had been to the nearby market the previous night and we thought of exploring that area after breakfast. Our trip had ended and we were refreshed and ready to take on the world. It was a pleasure living the trip again with you. There ...

Quaint Colloquies: June 2007
http://niralisurati.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 23, 2007. Its pouring outside my window. The much awaited monsoon just arrived in Mumbai and brought with it the intoxicating smell of the earth and the tastes of the various foods associated with it. Foods are magical, combine them with the right atmosphere and they can lift any gloomy spirit. The scorching summer, the fresh monsoon and the pleasant winter - food plays a significant role in defining the character of these moods of nature. Nothing can beat the joy of having a piping hot, t...

Quaint Colloquies: February 2008
http://niralisurati.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 08, 2008. Siem Reap was charming, like a breath of fresh air! We were booked in the “Two Dragons Guesthouse” and one look at the place and we were in love. Two Dragons is a cozy little guesthouse tucked away in a small lane in Siem Reap. It is away from the din and bustle of the old market and the "Pub street" and so one can spend the night in peace and tranquility and wake up to sounds of traditional Khmer music every morning. Is a crazily done up place. Bright colours on the walls ...

Sunday, June 15, 2008. We had just two days left for our trip and it was time to live it up – literally! The room was BIG, with huge glass windows and the view from the room of the streets below was out of this world. It was equipped with all the modern amenities one could desire. We paid about 72 USD/person/night for this room and we were charged about 8 USD for our taxi from the airport to the hotel. The hotel in itself is quite an attraction. It. The way to the observation deck has interesting aliens ...

Quaint Colloquies: Phi Phi Galore!
http://niralisurati.blogspot.com/2008/05/phi-phi-galore.html
Monday, May 26, 2008. Ko Phi Phi Don was the beginning of the more luxurious part of the trip. We bought this trip from the same travel agent who had arranged for our trip to Phang Nga. Bay This time a huge ferry awaited us at Rassada pier. The sun deck was already crowded with people and the atmosphere was quite festive. We were served a complimentary breakfast of coffee and warm croissant and we were cozy already. It was a breezy and comfortable ride. Quite an odd word to describe a place to stay!

Monday, August 25, 2008. Hiking in the woods! I had an interesting weekend last week. I was enjoying a beautiful evening with barbecue and some new friends on Saturday and to burn all that fat, I accompanied a bunch of people for a hike in the woods of Netherlands. The terrain of our hike was quite diverse. At one moment we will be surrounded by trees and at. Add to that, we had blueberries, fresh from the shrubs into our mouths – I presume t. O give us energy! We walked from 11 in the morning to about 5...

Quaint Colloquies: Mesmerizing Angkor

Sunday, May 11, 2008. To visit any of the temples around Siem Reap, what you need is a temple pa. Carving describing the war between Pandavas and Kauravas – the battle of Kurukshetra. It’s a beautiful and extremely complex carving. We also managed to visit Ta Phrom that afternoon. This complex has been almost completely eaten away by the forest. It is almost as if nature was taking its revenge against man. The next day, we were up early in the morning to see the sunrise over the. May 12, 2008 1:55 AM.
