Scuba Diving In India

September 9, 2015

Splash! A leap of faith taken! The surface closing overhead, you are sinking in slowly. Buoyancy is working its science but the weights on you help you descend into the colorless waters. You hear the sound of your breath and your heartbeat regulates with the rhythm of the quiet waters. Tranquility takes over and everything … More Scuba Diving In India

Roaming in the Western Ghats

May 12, 2015

Sitting in a sparsely crowded bus station at 5 a.m. and sipping hot tea, I looked around. A few curious faces stared back at me. I was waiting for the daybreak. A sudden plan & I had packed my backpack, journeyed overnight and landed in a new place at the wee hours. And so here I … More Roaming in the Western Ghats

Havelock Island: The blue paradise

February 26, 2015

I woke up to the announcement over the intercom saying, “ladies and gentlemen we will be landing shortly…” I sat up groggily rubbing my eyes.  “…please make sure your seats backs and tray tables are in upright position…” I straightened up and followed the pilot’s instructions. I checked time in my wristwatch and yawned lazily … More Havelock Island: The blue paradise

How to pack light and travel smart?

January 6, 2015

Traveling is exciting and packing bags is like a countdown – excitement building up every minute. As a kid I have seen Papa pack bags with perfection and I am glad I’ve inherited some of his skills. I have always been praised for my ‘only-one-light-backpack’ travel style even for longer trips and it just keeps … More How to pack light and travel smart?

~Puducherry old port and pier~ "Only fishermen are allowed on the Pier", one of two lady Constables who were patrolling the area told me. I asked if I could walk on the shore around and under it, they nodded a yes. The pier where the French boats docked once, is now only a part of what it used to be before it was destroyed by the cyclone in the 1950s. #beach #pondicherry #india #waves #oldport #travel #indiapictures #india_ig #travelandhappiness

As we strolled on the beach we saw a lot of fishes and other creatures that are not and cannot be consumed by humans discarded on the sands away from the water. There's no way these creatures can make their way into the water on their own. I wonder why don't the fishermen put the unwanted catch back into the water :( they might have a slight chance of living because of being out of water for some time but it's still a chance and I really wish they could get it.

When you land up at the fisherman's beach... Saw unique shells and huge conches, sea urchins & fishes - discarded as unwanted items from the catch. Google says the sea urchins are found at the seabeds and so we tried to put it back into the water. It would just float and be deposited back on the shore by the strong waves. If only the fishermen could put the unwanted catch back into the waters :( #beachday #beach #sea #indiapictures #travelgram #traveljournal #beachlife #seaurchin #marinelife #travelandhappiness
"When I turn the pages of memory Like Wordsworth's Daffodils they are fairies Sea shore, golden sand, waves playing Like morning breeze on spring flowers Blue waves, silvery foam beating the shore My father creating a wooden boat He and I walking on Rameshwaram shore..." ~Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam, 'Memory', from "My Life" The humble abode of the humble man. Get a glimpse into the life of the great man who contributed so much to science, our society & country. This tiny street in the tiny town of Rameshwaram where the great man spent a fair amount of time. His poems, put up on the walls of this little museum talk about the place, its people, the ocean, many obvious and inconspicuous, subtle experiences and life in this temple town. #muchrespect #apjabdulkalam #rameshwaram #indiapictures #india_ig #india

The distinct colours of waters on either side cannot be missed at the spectacular Arichal Munai beach at the south-eastern tip of the Pamban island popularly known as Rameshwaram. The wild waves of Hind Mahasagar or the Indian Ocean crashing onto the gentle yet powerful waves of the Bay of Bengal. The sands, golden white on one side and a shade darker on the other, can drag you down, the local fisherfolk say. The wild, untamed beauty of the landscape fills you with awe. #indianocean #bluewaters #beach #tamilnadu #india #india_ig #indiatravel #indiagram #travelgram #travelandhappiness
