Rush Hour And Memories: Singapore :)
Uncalled travel, lives up to everybody’s expectations, because they don’t give you time for any arrangements and setup (Thankfully, I rescued my wallet from buying never-ending duty-free chocolates for relatives, who never stop asking for them). Anyway, this was again in Singapore (the way they sing in unison, Singaaa-puraaa). Last I witnessed Christmas there, in…

A Rendezvous with Asia’s Best Beach
Nature at its best in a serene atmosphere, happening yet peaceful and spotless… While in the hunt for finding such a destination, Radhanagar beach caught my attention. The lush green canopy of colossal natural skyscrapers along with banana and coconut plantation follows the road leading to a beach curved in a crescent of golden sand….
Manapullikavu
There is a beautiful and aesthetic looking temple just at the outskirts of Palakkad Town, Kerala (India).
