Mumbai - city that never sleeps!!!

 Mumbai - the city of dreams When someone talks about Mumbai, the first thing that comes to mind is the Gateway of India. We are no different and decided to go to the Gateway of India and the famous Taj Hotel to click some pictures. The idea was to go in the evening to see some lighting, and the temp would be a few degrees cooler than the day.    The Famous Taj hotel looks much more picturesque than the Gateway of India. It is the same place where terrorist attack took place a couple of years back.  Colaba Causeway is a nice place for shopping as well as home to some of the oldest cafes in the city.  These are two popular cafes in the area. I personally preferred Cafe Mondegar due to aircon and better sitting. The food quality was equally good in both the cafes. Leopold cafe has their own merchandise like mugs, t-shirts which is a delight to see and tells about the popularity of the cafe.   Cafe Mondegar has its own cutlery which is a delight to see. T...

Thailand - A great destination for family and friends  Bangkok is the entry point for Thailand. It is a capital city and well connected through the metro network (called MRT and BTS), right from the airport itself.  I have been to Thailand a couple of times and this time I decided not to visit the temples at all, unlike my previous visits. We visited the Malls, China Towns, Train Station, Floating Market, and did lots of shopping.  Places to visit:  China Town Central Mall Icon Siam  Pratunam Market  Platinum Mall The Grand Palace Temple of the Emerald Buddha Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha) Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) Chao Phraya River Cruise Chatuchak Weekend Market Lumphini & Benjakitti Park Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World Bars and Night life at Nana  Outskirts of Bangkok  Safari World Floating Market  Mae Klong Train Station Icon Siam: This is one of the biggest and most recent malls in Bangkok.  China Town:  Mae Klong Train Station: T...

The Golden city of Jaisalmer, Sand Dunes, the blue city Jodhpur, and much more

Jaisalmer - Thar Desert: Sam Sand Dunes and beyond  The much awaited trip after Rann of Kutchch was the Sam Sand Dunes. It came as a surprise as it was a last-minute plan and we could not get confirmed train tickets and flight prices were sky rocketing already. Since we had made up our mind, I decided to drive down all the way to Jaisalmer. Now the next challenge was that it was a long journey and could not be completed in a day. Hence, I decided to break it up and cover few more cities in Rajasthan.  The final route map looked like the one below:  Jaipur < Ajmer < Pushkar < Jodhpur < Jaisalmer < Sam Sand Dunes < Longewala border < Bikaner < Back to Home  Jaipur - Bhangarh Fort, Hawa Mahal and a Movie in Raj Mandir  Bhangarh Fort is 30 Kms before Jaipur and need to take a detor. It is closer to Alwar / Siriska.  Up next, we moved to Jaipur. Since we had already visited Jaipur last year, we wanted to see a movie in the cinema.  W...
