Love Locks on the way to the Sky Bridge in Langkawi  During the long weekend for Hari Raya (Ramadan) my friends and I decided to head to Langkawi, a beautiful island in Malaysia. It's crazy how much I love sandy beaches and clear water, anything to do with nature actually! We went to places that were totally "heartworthy"! It would be absolutely unfair if I did not leave my trademark heart imprint at these gorgeous destinations.  ❤  At the top- Sky Tower-Langkawi The view after taking the Sky Cab ride across mountains and sea.  The amazing view from Tubotel , Langkawi. Woke up to this breathtaking view two days in a row and was mesmerized every single time.  Finding love in hopeless places! Right outside the 3D Arts Museum This location was a part of the Island Hopping. The amazing view at Dayang Bunting Marble Geoforest Park, Langkawi                           ...

God made weekends for a  reason. We are babies, toddlers, children, teens and then adults In the midst of all this, there are two days in a week  Just those two days when we need to get away Get away from others, from ourselves and maybe for ourselves Move away from the concrete jungles Embrace flora and fauna Do it with people you love People who make you smile, laugh and give you a reason to look forward to things! This Sunday my friends and I decided to visit the famous Coney Island in Singapore.  It felt amazing to walk through the park amongst so many plants, trees and beach areas. PERFECT SUNDAY SCENES ! That's a very little Heart ❤ amidst the water and the trees! Coney Island, Singapore, May 2017

Someday I will move mountains. This time I just decided to climb one.

Traveled through this iconic bridge a million times.  On foot, by train and by ferry.  Gaped at it from all directions. Marvelled at its sheer beauty. Read the story of its existence. Some images get imprinted in your minds for forever. This is definitely one of them. Harbour Bridge,  Opposite the  Sydney Opera House,  December 2016

I am a too many things in one kind of person. Beach Bum. Water Baby. Top of the Rock. Look at the Mountains. Lets make a Snowman. Sit on the back of a Camel. And so much more. There are some places that I've visited that are so beautiful, tranquil and out of this world that they deserve a special mention. When I close my eyes these are the places that pop up in my mind in slideshow mode. The ❤ Collection will showcase a series of pictures from the places that I have traveled to that literally " Have My Heart ". ❤ #1 Batam, Indonesia July 2016

Bali is an Indonesian island known for its pristine beaches , beautiful temples and street food. There are a host of Indonesian delicacies that one would come across while walking along any road in this beautiful island. The food they serve in these small eateries ( “Warungs”) looks tempting and is too difficult to resist. Since the Indonesian Rupaiah runs in lakhs don’t be surprised if you are asked to pay up two lakh rupees for a simple dish. On my recent trip to Bali I ended up gorging on authentic Balinese/Indonesian cuisine ; right from street vendors to fancy hotels. The best part is they customize their non-veg dishes to suit the vegetarian palate too. Here are a few items that I devoured on the trip and absolutely loved. 1) Bakso This is a traditional Indonesian delicacy and one of the most popular ones. You will find plenty of street vendors selling Bakso along the streets of Bali. It is an eclectic mix of  tangy,spicy soup, meat balls, wontons, tofu and noodles....

For me going to Pune is like going to the place that is a house to a million childhood memories. I stayed in Panchgani as a child and therefore frequented Pune a bit too much (for 6 years). So when I went there this weekend, I felt so nostalgic because I saw so many places that I used to visit as a child and relived a million memories. Pune is a place of many "firsts" for me. 1) Watched a movie at a multiplex for the first time. The multiplex being CityPride. 2) The first time I ever devoured pizza at Pizza Hut. 3) The first time I laid my hands on Ferrero Rocher and Pringles  4)The first time I experienced super market shopping at Food World 5) Being a south Indian, I would have regular dosa for breakfast at home. But, in Pune was the first time I ate spring roll dosa. 6) The concept of Kaati Rolls for me came from a small joint in Pune. Lip Smacking. Ah. Before entering Pune, the bus stopped for breakfast at a highway dhaba. As usual, I ran into the dhaba and q...

Well well well Indians are suppose to be the biggest foodies you can find.And the UAE is a treat for food lovers.There is a wide variety of options to choose from for people from any continent.There is not a single type of cuisine that Dubai DOESN'T cater to. You will find atleat 10 restaurants in one street alone which include Indian,Lebanese,French and so on.There are many  cafés and  pâtisseries along every street there. Talking about the local Arab cuisine,it is lip-smacking,thoroughly delicious. My favourite dish happens to be Shawarma which is meat( preferably chicken) rolled in pita bread and then there is  Za'atar , a blend of herbs, sesame and salt best eaten with Kubus( Arabic bread). From what I've observed Arabs love CHICKEN.anytime.anywhere. For vegetarians Falafel works as an amazing starter. It  is a deep-fried ball or patty made from ground chickpeas and/or fava beans.Its crispy on the outside and something you would love to much on. The...
