It's like the easiest to start with......the quintessential low hanging fruit....least effort, fulfilling outcome :)
It's not about a travel recap.....it's travel itself that is like that. It just lends itself to so much positive. The new places, new experiences, the fun element, the adventure, meeting interesting people, widening of horizons, relationships and bonding, the learnings, the replenishment of energy.....I'm sure there's lots more that can get included in that list...but there's some components of it always there........maybe different proportions, yet in some way or the other.
And when you get to do travel like the kind you want, where you want, and with who you want.......well, that much more of all that :)
What a lovely quote....and how well it fits here
1. My year (read blog :) started with a flight back from Calcutta, catching a sunrise at 35000 feet. Need I say more about that !
2. Pune : This was special, Dhruvas convocation when he graduated after an intense 5 year study of design and animation. Also made special as we had dad and mom who came along to be part of a moment that mattered.
3. Corbett, Uttarkhand : This was a super fun, adventure and beautiful trip with Dhruva and Diksha. Had just about all the elements a great trip can have, just a tad overboard on the adventure, but that we're alive to tell the tale, says it all.
4. Delhi : A family wedding....with harshitha's brilliant planning....it had at one time lots of solemnity and glitz...all the ceremonies, mehendi, wedding, reception, sangeet et all....and lots and lots of fun family time
5. Cherai, Cochin: A trip with Vishakha, which is slowly and wonderfully becoming an annual feature. Lots of just us time....walking, talking and being together. Means much.
6. Trissur: Beena's son's wedding, the first in our group. This is with her and her son Pranav.
7. Fort Kochi: While the visit was for Trissur, we got to do a day at Fort Kochi, thanks to Monu taking us around.
8. Munnar: This was just Diksha and me.... a first to a hill station in the monsoons....it was a lot of cloud and rain and walks and music, and bonus was being there on my birthday....beautiful and meaningful.
9. Hawai'i: Well, I've written twenty one posts on it, and yet not done, so not even trying to capture in a sentence. These pictures though say a lot....about how it is literally this 'island unto itself', and how on that island amidst the beauty and mystery that is Hawai'i, we had such wonderful family time.
10. Los Angeles: I haven't even gotten down to writing about LA. Now fully inspired to, once this year end recap is done. This one's with backdrop of the famed Hollywood sign...as Hollywood or as LA as it can get.
11. Bangalore: A quick trip to Bangalore for Dev uncles 80th birthday, a special trip.....also did what I love doing, a day bus.
12. Tirupathi: A mom and me trip.
And that's the list of the years travels..... twelve trips .... fully satiated on that score :)
