Let us take a walk through my memory lane. Let me start by showing you the scenes from Jaipur (India), followed by the streets of Gandhidham (Gujerat, India) on to the old city of Kolkata. We can then fly to New York, see the NASA space shuttle and then immerse in the mist of Niagara Falls.
Walking on the cobblestone paths of Rome and seeing the splendour of Italian history was awesome. Sometimes I just enjoy capturing the food and it tells a long story of the place. Of course I do not miss the chance to go closer, deeper and and get personal with flowers and bees.

Gandhidham
Cows are sacred in this city and it roams on streets competing with vehicles! This city was created in 1950s for restettlement of people form the Sindh province when India was partitioned. It was completely devastated by the earthquake in 2001.
Don't miss the roadside paani poori and the vast salt lakes.
Ernakulam
Some call this town Cochin (the British name). This is my favourite stop in India.I have been here more than 25 times but still yearn for more visits.
​
Don't miss the toddy shop food. Excellent taste, simple and clean. My choices are the ones tucked away in plantations. Try the palm toddy as well.
Niagara Falls
Simply awesome. get the mist on your face by the boat ride and then get soaked behind the falls. The force of water is so powerful and therapeutic.
​
Icewine here is great. Go for a walk by the falls. Cross from Canada to USA. Take a room facing the falls and have wine while watching sunset!
New York
If you have not seen New York, you have not seen the centre of the world (my opinion). Bustling city and yet I felt home with my own privacy. Everyone seemed like a visitor.
The breakfast at Applebee's is certainly on my do-list if I visit again. Stay near Times Square if you want to feel the energy of the city.
