Home????

I'm off to India for the next few days.....:)

But sitting here in singapore airport...I can't help wondering.....

"Am I going home...or did I just leave home???"

Life sure is confusing at times:):)

Koala's n' Penguins

I've been thinking of writing this post for sometime now...but have been too busy** read lazy**

Instead of the usual parties n' get together this Saturday we, hubby, a friend n' I decided to take a go on a trip to Phillip Island.
The main attraction of this island is the penguin parade n' the koala conservation park.

Well the trip sure was fun. At the koala conservation park all we managed to see were the cute little butts of these adorable marsupials( ya right koala's are not bear's..they are marsupials!!!duh!!..ok, I'm just trying to show off..even I had no clue that they aren’t bears!!! !!lol)

So getting back to the point..turns out koala's sleep during the daytime( well they actually sleep for around 20hrs a day...lucky buggers!!!)..so there we were trying to spot koala's n all we could see were there tiny bears..oops marsupials**damn!, that’s a long word**perched on the topmost branch of the tree.

we did our fair bit of ooh's n aaha..n' C even cribbed that they weren’t koalas but teddy bears which have been glued up there!!!..preposterous, I know.** oh my god...looks like the big words are getting to me!!!:):)**…anyways some of the koala’s seem to have heard C’s allegations n' did prove him wrong by looking up, scratching his/her head n' then going right back to sleep:):)…

We proceeded further to a place called The Nobbies…the view here is simply awesome..well when I think of it…the drive around this whole island is simple breathtaking. Endless oceans, greenery n' lovely sunshine to boost..its like a painting!!

The day ended with us landing at the beach to wait for the penguin parade….it was freezing cold…n’ I kept cribbing about it until the penguins emerged.....they are the cutest ever!!! Little dwarf penguins waddling in a tight knit group from the ocean right to where we were sitting…its just super!! The wait was so worth it!!:)..overall the day sure was awesome!!

You can learn more about phillip island here.

On Sunday a whole big group of us went to watch a Kannada movie…n’ even though the movie was bakwaas…I enjoyed it 'cause I could see my dear bangalore city…I so miss it!!

Life's good:):)

I just got back home after the most horrible bus journey from Mangalore. First of all the stupid ticket agent managed to mix up our bookings n so we had to change 2 buses. Finally when we did get into the right bus, ended up getting the most horrible seats n if that wasnt enough the damn ac was so cold...I literally froze my *#$@ off!!!

Got home all upset today morning n checked my emails as usual...n well my mood kinda changed after that:):):) Its always nice to have lots of emails indicating someone's missin' you, right:):):)....lol, looks like life is good after all:):)

Places to go, Sights to see---1

Disclaimer...this post is the result of watching too many travel shows n reading too many lonely planet guide books:):)

I have always dreamt of visiting every place possible in India n abroad, of exploring little streets, eating all the local delicacies (as long as it isn’t anything creepy crawly...or brinjal:):)

My favorite channels would have to be Discovery Travel and Living just because of the amazing line up of travel shows..have always envied the anchors...well who wouldn’t right:)

I'm forever reading up (lonely planet), on all places possible collecting info as if I will be going there sometime soon:):)...no harm in being prepared right....what if I win a lottery or if I just get noticed in the mall by some director n' am asked to host some travel show...lol, ya I know will happen the same day aliens takeover earth or when Salman does a whole movie with his shirt on:):):)

Just pack my bags n go......god that would be so cool:):) n impossible. Think I am to be blamed 'cause regardless of all my plans I am a procrastinator...I always keep things for tommoro:):) n of course I don’t have the money too, damn those shopping malls!!:)

So anyways, the only traveling I have done is to a few beautiful places in South India n to a few places in Southeast Asia. Now I have this ever growing list of places I want to visit.

In India:

Rajasthan: I am a very colourful person...n don’t think there is any place in India with so much of colour. In particular I want to visit Udiapur, Bikaner, Mount Abu and Jaisalmer. Those sand dunes, colourful outfits the dances...everything sounds so beautiful.

Punjab: Want to go to the golden temple @ Amritsar. Wanna do the bhangra with the people there n ofcourse wanna eat those yummy parathas n tandoori chicken ( ya ,ya its avialable everywhere...but comeone I'm sure it tastes different in Punjab!!!):):)

Shillong: "The scotland of the east"--had some juniors @ our college from here n they forever told me that the place was amazing.


Himachal pradesh: Kulu Manali, Shimla, Chamba...all these beautiful places are in Himachal. I also have an obsession with snow...the only snow i have seen till now was @snow world , Genting and Hyderabad:):)...I need to see real snow people!!!

Darjeeling, Leh Ladak: Snow being a major factor here :):)

Kolkata: The sweets....isn't it reason enough!!! lol, but seriously I would love to go here during the Durga puja...have seen it on TV n have been totally intrigued by the festivities.

Pondicherry: yup shameful na, but never got a chance to visit pondi. Think I shud plan a trip soon.

Also want to go to
Khajuraho, Daman n Diu, Dwarka, Srinagar, Gulmarg.........as I told the list is endless:):):)

.......to be continued

I'm Back......

........totally refreshed n having recharged my batteries:) after a super holiday at Goa. Dont think I will write much about our trip cause Shilpa has already written all about it in her blog:):)
Have been planning this trip to goa forever and well I think the whole holiday just lived upto all my ideas:):)

Super company, great food, lots of sunshine, beautiful beaches and lots of dancing....we just could not go wrong there, right!!:):)

Holidays are so much fun na, 5 days before the holiday there is the excitement of the coming break n then the actual holiday and on coming back the whole excitement of viewing your photos n basically finding any bakra you have can to show off the photos:):):)

Lol...think its time to hit the books now:(:(. Che, why do all good things come to an end:):)
