Alleppey Backwaters Houseboats, India.  My Dear Alleppey, In the heart of God's Own Country, where the backwaters weave tales of timeless beauty, I found a sanctuary that mirrored love's depth and tranquillity. Your emerald canals, embraced by swaying palms, cradle a romance that unfolds with the gentle ripple of water beneath my houseboat. I sat there, on the deck of my houseboat with a cup of coffee watching the breathtaking sunsets that fill every thought of mine. As the sky turned a canvas of stars, I lay there, mesmerized by your whispers - waves singing a lullaby. Amidst my stargazing, the moon played hide and seek behind the clouds.  I was with you only for a day but that one day might be my favorite. That day I became a part of a celestial ballet, lost in the rhymes of your tranquil waters, like a love story written in the reflection of moonlight. Thank you for the serenity and dreams you let me paint in your limitless night sky. I shall be back Alleppey, soon,...

My Dear Bangalore

Vidhan Saudha, Bengaluru, India. Dear Bengaluru,   When I think of a home away from home, a place I would go to in a heartbeat, it would be you. I first met you when I was four, I don’t remember a lot from our first meet but, what I do know is that I have a weird but special connection with you that keeps pulling me back to you. With every meeting, I fall for you more and more. Your gardens have taught me to love nature, your streets have taught me patience, your people have taught me love, your food is my comfort and your sunsets are just perfect. Also, one of your girls has my heart. With you my time passes in the blink of an eye. When I think of you Bangalore, I get exited like a small girl at the mention of her favorite candy. Oh and there will be a next time yet again. Wait for me.   With Love, V
