I quite like WordPress’s daily writing prompt that came up on my home page. I’ll get straight to the prompt topic before I get distracted (as I usually do and start writing about something entirely off-topic) and so here’s a list of five things that I do for fun.
Tucked away amidst the rows of dusty brown mountains of the Himalayan ranges, is the hidden hamlet of Nako – a timeless beauty. Perched at an elevation of about 12000 ft, this rustic village is located in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. The tiny village is situated at a surreal location in the trans-Himalayan region, close to the Indo-China border. Its remote location makes it less-visited but absolutely rewarding.
Bombay, Mumbai – a melting pot of cultures, languages, religions, art, and diversities, a city – many dream of living in and making big at. The spellbinding charm of this city of dreams welcomes, embraces and shelters the dreamers and the doers. Overlooking the blue expanse of the Arabian Sea, and with its beaches, promenades, modern skyscrapers and charming Victorian buildings, the city itself is an absolute delight.
Koel, a member of the cuckoo family, is commonly sighted in India. Having heard their melodious sound/calls since childhood, I wouldn’t pay too much attention to these birds (I confess) until I started appreciating nature more than I used to and also as I developed some interest in ornithology after coming across too many interesting birds on my travels.
More often than not, we plan a perfect itinerary for our travels, spending enough time to detail out the routes, places to visit, accommodation, ticket bookings, etc. All this is to ensure a hassle free travel, surely. But sometimes fate is up to a mischief; we overlook a trivial detail and are up for something we didn’t plan.
