Andaman: The Astonishing Archipelago

-
Image
"O Ocean, in your palette of colours, let me drown myself becoming all yours." The pristine nature and its beauty in Andaman is more than gorgeous, more than pleasant to my eyes and soul. Divinity of the waters and aesthetic touch of the islands fabricate me and I seem to float peacefully away upon the soft waves of the ocean, until I discover myself in some dream-land, where the Moon sings lullaby from behind the silky clouds. Andaman is an idyllic paradise nestled in midst of the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. It is one of the Union Territories of India and is a blessedly unspoiled tourist gem. Although it is widely regarded as one of the best spots for the honeymooners, but it has more to offer the travellers; it's a storyteller, narrating the tales of Indian subcontinent through the ages.

With all the wonders as I see, Monsoon in Bengal never fails to please my soul with the rejuvenation it brings. Everything seems greener. Nature expresses its beauty after the tiring summer and breathes a new life to every face. The majestic aura of the Monsoon engulfs the city of Calcutta with its magnificent arrival. You can notice the joy and the certain thought of relief everywhere. Monsoon has other colours, here, in Calcutta. The grey clouds surpass the horizon and I close my eyes, deeply breathe in the heavy monsoon air and the petrichor hits me. The city witness velvety dusk, quick hide-and-seek of the setting sun from behind the clouds with an intense indigo blue lighting up with a slice of soft waxy moon. Coconut leaves rustle in the wet breeze and the Saturday evenings murmurs joyously after the monotony of the tedious rain. Walking along the streets of Rabindra Sarobar on a monsoon afternoon happened to remove the tiredness after a tough practice sessi

In late 17th Century, The Mughal Emperor, Jahangir discovered the striking beauty of Kashmir and said, " Gar firdaus bar rue zamin ast, hami asto, hami asto, hami ast. " He meant, If there's a paradise anywhere on earth, it's here, it's here, it's here.  Since then, this "Paradise on earth" has been the interest of millions of travelers around the globe. The dreamy mountains, craggy terrain, inclined meadows, frenzied river and placid lake kept me astounded, remembering the quote of Jahangir with a tranquil gaze at the nature. For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. The Best time to visit: Kashmir is affected by two times of the year, the winter and the summer. Eventually this was the only state in India with two capitals- Jammu(winter capital) and Srinagar(summer capital). Recently, Jammu and Kashmir is divided into three Union Territories- Jammu, Kasmir and Ladakh. The summer marks the season of apples with lesser

Being Human

Hey guys out there! I'm Arnab. I believe that travel is so much more than simply seeing the sights- that travel and the things you learn from it can really change your life. I feel like exploring this planet is the best way to feed my soul. Amidst the daily grind, I travel for freedom- to live life on my terms, to be in-charge of my own destiny and to give myself the biggest luxury- Time. I travel to grow as a person, to explore the soul of Mother Nature, to have my life enriched by the beauty and diversity of this amazing world and to have my eyes, mind and heart opened wide.
