Amsterdam : Where canals weave a web of magic

posted in: Europe, World | 10

At the fag end of our European sojourn in 2018, we decided to spend two days in Amsterdam, the city where canals weave a web of magic. With the North Sea flanking its north, the Amstel river flowing through the city, and 165 canals crisscrossing the whole city, it felt like water, water, and water everywhere! It hardly felt like a city, rather it seemed like a big garden with curated buildings all around.

Cherished memories of the lake city, Udaipur

Udaipur is so many things to so many people. For some, it’s the magnificent palaces, or the opulent hotels, and for many others, it’s the lakes. However, for me it is the subtle ambiance that Udaipur is. It’s like a beautiful poem, a feeling, an old-world charm that fills my heart with joy, things that one doesn’t generally associate with cities. There are so many memorable experiences from Udaipur, that it’s difficult to pick a few. But let me share the ones very close to my heart.
