A Giraffe craning its neck to give us a darshan - Hey i am a real giraffe.

My first trip abroad! Having a passport itself gave a sense of pride, the day i got to finally see my passport a couple of years back!! Now why is that??...thats a long story. Maa had come to see me off. She came a couple of days before we were to start. Even till then i was excited that i am going to see mom after nearly 6 months! That thought never sank in my head that in less than 48 hours i had to start for a land unknown, language unknown. But somewhere deep down in the psyche, a sense of confidence was there, that we can definitely manage. May be its the confidence that preparations and background spadework instills in your psychology. After having done a lot of research of what and where of the bound destination, I was completely on a firm ground. Even till the day we were to start, till that very evening we had been out of the house going about here and there. Was feeling happy that maa was all the time with me and may be that was another reason for the renewed confidence too!...

Trip to Hampi

We drove from Bangalore to Tornagallu and stayed at Hotel Rock Regency just opposite JSW steel factory. The drive took 5 hours with 2 breaks considering we travelled with a 1 year old and a 7 year old. The accommodation was quite comfortable and so was the food at their in-house restaurant We hired a guide for a whole day who would take to all the important locations and guide through the huge kingdom. To simply put it to perspective, if the ruins of a kingdom of 13th century has such a grandeur in 2015, it is left to ones imagination how it would have been in those days. There were well formed series of shops in Bazaar. Stages for performances for dignitaries to different states The Ornate carvings depict the culture of the visitors culture as well as changing tradition of the empire This is the land of the Ashtadiggajas of yesteryears. The distant hillock in the pic below is where our famed childhood hero Tenali Rama used to compose his poetries. No doubt with such a b...

Vertical city - Hong Kong 2018

Image
Visited Hong Kong in 2007 and the memory has stuck of the vibrant vertical city. Busy, bustling, vibrant, vertical as far as your eyes can reach and  island country where you can see catch all known modes of transport in a single frame! Gateway to Oriental Asia, financial hub, all world famous banks and insurance firms has a building on its name here. Average height of any building is 50 floors possibly. Learnt from folks that for  drinking water supply, the water board equivalent of the country pumps the water to water tank atop a hill with all energy and might. Utilizing the gravity and pressure system water is automatically distributed to all the skyscrapers! You name a fashion house and cosmetic brand, chances are you may have tripped on Givenchy or a Burberry atleast once in your trip. HongKong is famous for its tall scrapers and amazing skyline. So we decided to start the Hong Kong tour with what the city is famous for. We took Singapore airline Ex Chennai to reac...
