Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky – Golconda fort, Hyderabad

“He who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God, or a woman, can wear it with impunity.”, reads the curse of Koh-i-Noor. Clap inside the portico under the dome at the entrance of the fort and the sound will reach the person who is sitting in a…

Immersion Travelling doesn’t just mean visiting the place and clicking pictures. I like to speak with the place, know its side and hear its story. Every Indian state has their own, signature recipes of food, music, culture, traditions and dresses. Take #Pheran for example. The long, gownlike over-all worm by men and women in Kashmir. It’s so loose that two people can fit in one Pheran and still have space left. In #PariMahal #chashmeshahi of Srinagar, I got the chance to try out the local dress and jewellery and get clicked. It brought me a bit closer to Kashmir. : : Read my travel stories on my blog - Life on Weekends dot com.

GODS - blessing the travellers at #Bhubaneswar #airport. I have always liked airport with their hustle-bustle, busy queues, smell of brewing coffee, all kinds of expressions & countenance and the handicrafts. Sometimes if you are lucky and you have time, you can experience a whole city inside the airport. If you are lucky...and you have time! : : My travel stories on Life on Weekends dot com.

“Oh yeah I’ll tell you something I think you’ll understand When I say that something I wanna hold your hand” : : : When the Fantastic Four – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr played ‘I want to hold your hand’ in the 1960s, it was the dawn of a new era. As they balanced the chords & managed the melody’s drop & rise; the music landscape of America got revolutionized. The Beatles experimented with Rock and Roll & gave it a face like never before. : : : And the world called it Beatlemania. : : : Oh please say to me You’ll let me be your man And please say to me You’ll let me hold your hand : : Read about #beatlecafe on my travel blog - Life on Weekends dot com. : : #lifeonweekends #JustYamini #incredibleindiaofficial #rishikesh #cafe #music #beatlemania #_coi #_soi #lensculturestreets #uttarakhand_travel_diaries #uttaranchal #mountains #gangesriver #riverrafting #lakshmanjhula #igramming_india #igdaily #ig_photooftheday #ig_exquisite #wanderlust #womantraveler #indiatravel #indiatravelgram #photosociety #photosocietyofindia #natgeoyourshot
Tulips of Kashmir! : In the month of April, Srinagar is bejewelled with colourful Tulips for two weeks. At that time, it appears that the colours of entire universe congregate to paint magic on Earth - to be claimed by Kashmir. When the weather becomes cooler, and a fine breeze blows, a sweet smell wafts through the air amidst the swaying Tulips, the comfortable Sunshine & a bit of rains - that particular moment is perfect for creating memories. Because a memory of Tulips can brighten your dull days & colour your life for months altogether. : : If not already, visit Kashmir & create indelible memories that would stay with you forever. : : Read my Tulips story on my travel blog - Life on Weekends dot com.
