Once Upon A Time In Goa

No scorching heat.
Less people.
Beautiful weather.
Drink up at the shacks.
Walk bare feet on wet sand.
Dance in the rain.

At Goa!

That's an ideal vacation for me. What more could I ask for?

I've been to Goa during summer and winter, this was my first trip during the monsoons and trust me - it tops the list! We had packed shades and sunscreens, and none was put to use.


We had booked our stay well in advance at Citrus Hotel, Calangute (5 mins walk from Calangute beach). Pleasant stay, I must say! Good food, prompt service. Also, don't expect the hotels to have rooms available just because it's off-season. Guessing there's no particular season to visit GOA! 




Get into a flip-flop mode (or bare feet mode) and stroll on the beach. Enjoy the pleasant weather, the rains, the tides, the cool breeze, and what not! We walked from Calangute beach to Baga and back! 


The shacks open in the evening but to our pleasant surprise, few were operational even in the morning (good for us). Grab few drinks at random shacks, relax and enjoy the sea view! 



When in Goa, get wasted! But make sure you have someone who can take care of you. :-P

Dress up, go for candle light dinners at the beach shacks, grab few chilled beers and splurge on sumptuous Goan cuisine. (Major missing happening here). Don't forget to shack-hop!


Buy things off the streets, like few neon bangles! 


Once you're buzzed, play 'ring the bud'. Being normal is too mainstream. SO GO CRAZY!


Time to go back! I'll miss you, GOA. Till we come again!

A little bit of everything!

Well, about me - I'm not totally great, I'm not completely stupid, I'm not an angel - but I'm a little bit of everything and that makes me!  Always thought life was perfect. It is but not in way that you get whatever you want! If things go wrong, it won't last. If things go right, it won't last either. Life teaches you lessons throughout. You either digest it or just crib - it's your call. Never regret because if it's good- it's gonna be wonderful and if it's bad- it's gonna be an experience.  I have seen myself transforming from a very shy little girl to being a not-so-quiet little(even now) girl. A girl who never really opened up in school - to someone who had to be whacked so that she would shut. How did that happen? The answer to this question is my next blog. #WINK  Talking about my life, There were people who kept telling me to forgive and forget?? Well my way is a bit different.. I forgive but I NEVER forget, I Learn from

With Love, Punchbag.

Dedicated to my crazy + stupid + insane friend - My Bestie. This blog is all about the bond that we share and which keeps growing stronger, and continues till date. I don’t care what the world thinks about him. For me he’s the bestest and that makes him irreplaceable. Why is he so special? Well well, he hits me when I’m wrong. If he gets to know that I have done something that I shouldn't have done in the first place, there’s nothing that can stop him. This is when he considers me to be some kind of a *HIT/PUNCH/SLAP/WHACK ME* doll. Me being a fragile person, it actually hurts (#PUPPYFACE). Point to be noted - He WON’T apologize. Which means, I freakin deserved it. He knows me better than anyone else. He can read my expressions and clearly figure out when I’m lying. He knows when I need him the most and makes sure that he’s there by my side. Waiting for me at odd hours when he knows I’m fed up with life and desperately need someone who can hear me out. I don’t k

The One At Majestic Mussorie (Queen of the hills)

Husbands 30th birthday and that had to be special. I have never really explored the north and was looking forward to a trip sooner. I am a mountain kinda person and he is well a beach-y person. So we juggle our holidays around this. Our last holiday being Bali, the next was to the hills. Mussorie was the best option that I could find to travel in March. Booked tickets 2 months in advance on Make My Trip and guess the price - 10k for 2 people - to & fro. Steal! Anyways we packed our warm clothes, boots, etc and set off for the hills. Did my research on what to do and all too, as usual. I believe that you must do your research before you scoot, but that being said don't stick to the itinerary - BE FLEXIBLE with your trip. You've come to relax so do that. DAY 1 We took the Mumbai to Delhi early morning flight, after a 1.5-hour layover at Delhi where we grabbed breakfast at the forever-crowded-food-court, we boarded our next flight from Delhi to Dehradun. The view
