Festive fun!

Another harvest festitve season with 5 days of splendid merriment! Irrespective of any mythology, the secular behaviour of Onam, really assures the real spirit of a festival ! Spectacular elephant parades, boat racing, sumptous delicacies, new outfits, onapookkalam.. this is one of its kind and the right time to visit Gods own country!

 A million reasons to rejoice !
Sometimes I feel, these festive seasons creates a platform to get fooled ourselves. Great offers are declared that creates lot of excitement on us to trigger our shopping sickness! How would it be possible to have a cheaper deal “only” for these days ? One of the recent advert goes like this – “For every one soverign of gold, another soverign is free!” It really exploits our state of mind of extreme celebrations! We should get smart and have fun!

Anyways, this is one of the rare ocassion which brings in lot of nostalgia on how this has been celebrated those childhood days! Rather these days, celebrations became more mechanical in nature. Key components are delivered at your door-step branded as “Instant delivery”

Happy TV-channels/Internet Onam ! 
Happy Instant (Home delivery) Onam !

The art of travelling

Another trip to London! As I always feel, traveling broaden our minds,  cultivate new tastes and to an extend it resets our priorities in life.

It was a short one, still thought of sharing the best experience I had, being on Hyde Park! Met friends, went for shopping,  feel the culture, eat nice food (precisely – hot toast with butter), have a perfect cocktail,  go to Windsor, stand in the rain and finally get a black cab and land at Heathrow!

A short break from sorrows/pleasures of our routine life !
