Abc Wednesday, NaBloPoMo, pics, tiger

For more ABC’s visit the ABC Wednesday homepage

And did u notice the number in the post tittle, yes yes I am taking the NaBloPoMo again…. some days back when LifeBegins asked me to join as she was doing it I was very apprehensive… There is a lot going on in life as of now and I was not sure I will be able to do it… then last evening Prats told me he is doing it too…. then I saw Preeti doing it too…. I was so damn tempted to take it up because the last time I did it, it was Prats, me, preeti and neha doing it together and when sometime back I found Neha declaring it on twitter that she is doing it too that was the last straw and I decided to jump in…

I am not sure I will be able to do it… hopefully I should but it sure gonna be fun… Hope you enjoy the ride along too

Abc Wednesday, Abc Wednesday Round 6, beaches, hills, islands, lakshwdeep, langkawi, pics, sand

L is for two of my favorite Island vacations…

Lakshwdeep apart from being a gorgeous set of islands is special because that is where we went for our honeymoon πŸ˜‰ and what fun was had…

lying on the hammock in the middle of white sand

where the cottages are lovely and homely

where snorkeling and kayaking was done daily πŸ˜€

the sunsets are almost picture perfect

and so are the honeymooning couple πŸ˜‰

And then L is for the gorgeous Langkawi…

where the sea and the hills blend so beautifully together

and the beaches so pristine and the sand so fresh

and the orchids my most favorite flowers are in abudance and seen everywhere

which boasts a huge sky bridge connecting two hills

and how lucky it is that two of my favorite Island vacation start with L πŸ˜‰

Please hop over to the ABC L Page to Look at some Luscious L’s

PS: please ignore the quality of the lakshwdeep pics u see they are from a time when there were no digital cameras πŸ˜‰

PPS: on another update granny is home with a medicine for a week, we all keeping our fingers crossed that it works.

A trip to Kumarakom anyone?

Tags

Abc Wednesday, Abc Wednesday Round 6, gods own country, houseboat, kerala, kumarakom, munnar, pics, picture, travel

K is for Kumarakom in God’s Own Country aka Kerala

A place for lovely morning overlooking the backwaters

and the fishermen in the boats

of lonely birds in the middle of water

of the most awesome water views

the huts and Toddy(Palm Wine) shops in the middle of nowhere

of religious processions and conserving culture

Last but not the least the most awesome houseboats

so rustic and traditional from the outside

yet you will be amazed at the plushness and the comforts available inside, TV, fridge, AC, yummy food, chilled beer… name it they have it πŸ˜€

Kerala truly indeed is God’s Own Country, whether its the backwaters or the tea heaven munnar… where warmth is in abundance and nature’s at its best and massages are done in birth suits πŸ˜‰

For more Kool K’s go to the ABC Wednesday page

PS: All pictures clicked by me or N during our trip there in 2008

Abc Wednesday, Abc Wednesday Round 6, bellikal, NaBloPoMo, ooty, pics

Bellikal is a small village just 12 kms before Oooty and u have to go there to believe how pristine it is… tea estates as far as you can see and a couple running a small make shift resort in their ancestral house which is a basic house with a lovely old architecture and best of all there is no cell phone signal there πŸ˜‰ and even no electricity… it was an awesome experience going back to nature when we went there about 3 years ago…

here are some pictures

Lake somewhere on the way

deers on the way in bandipur (which is also a B BTW)

and carrots growing what fun we had eating fresh carrots…

some breathtaking views

lovely wild flowers… such charm they have

Clouds creating a ghostly effect

and last but not the least total fun πŸ˜€ thats me, N, my sis A and cousin S πŸ™‚

PS: here’s a post I did on our host and the place after I visited

PPS: And B is also for a break…. I am off to Delhi on Friday as my mom is getting retired and the few posts are scheduled so I may or may not be able to reply to them but will do that once I am back so keep reading πŸ™‚

family, fun, pics, vacation, village

Ok so here is the Back to Roots post… A brief of the trip we took the village recently…A Picture Essay I would say πŸ˜€

Before Starting from home, dont miss the dude’s style πŸ˜€

MathyamAug2009

On Roadside and more

MathyamAug20091

Food and more… specially for u guys… hitchy

MathyamAug20092

Masti @CCD

MathyamAug20093

The water bodies around the road, always have a calming effect… add to the charm of the road

MathyamAug20094

Finally reached the village, Ojas enjoying the house totally…. I love the houses in the village

MathyamAug20095

And we can enjoy too right, the tender coconut water directly from the trees and drunk straight was divine.. all scared me though that it will stain the dress…

MathyamAug20096

And then the walk to the fields begin, total bliss

MathyamAug20097

and I get space what else do I need πŸ˜€

MathyamAug20098

the tree climber πŸ™‚

MathyamAug20099

In and around the house… gorgeous place I tell u and dont miss the brat trying to find the treasure in that age old wardrobe

MathyamAug200910

and some lovely pottery on the way back, each time I go there I pick up some… this time I picked up the pink and the blue one and no guys U cant understand this

MathyamAug200911

Everytime I go to the village, I am so happy and I dont want to come back at all…N’s village is the first association I ever had with a village… considering mom had been completely brought up in Delhi and dad moved to Delhi while he was in college and before that too was in Jallandhur which is by no means a village , only thing that made me a little sad this time was to see the empty fields… Granny can no more manage the farm and none of us are doing anything about it,… Sigh!!!
