           Poetry in the sea is an echo,asking our shadow to dance @ Palolem Beach Goa

It was a moment of disguise.A moment when I felt the ghost of my college life has come back.The feeling of eternal,The same feeling of letting go.No other place in India is a substitute,no other place in India will be.A place which I had always loved,a place which even if I repeat is worth repeating.With friends more,alone less.A place which raises toast to every occasion and where every day is a celebration.Hey folks,this is Anki,your naughty sweet and always smiling reporting from Goa on 13th and Shimla just 2 days after.

Some places are so beautiful,you wouldn't know where to begin.Like,we didn't know where to begin.We,let me introduce you to my 9 sweet college buddies who were planning Goa for the longest time possible.Goa,yes but when ? Goa in Dec or Jan.Mid of Dec or Mid of Jan or Mid of Feb.But as they say,a trip to Goa is best left unplanned.My trip to Goa has always been very last moment,it is that place when you pack your bags from the old lazy boring life to the new world of uncertain fun,and always.Thankful I am to Wildcraft ,for the amazingly cheerful sunshiny colored(Yellow) backpack which was so easy to carry.Imagine walking down the beaches in a heavy backpack or a suitcase! Yes,I have done that in the past but no more.With this,I can easily stuff in everything,just as how easily I could fit in in those shorts I bought specifically for my trip to Goa.


No other place gives me that kick-ass feel as Goa,it is another part of India where people least bother to what you wear or how good or bad you should be.As long as you are hale and hearty in true sense,Goa welcomes you with open arms."The Hippy and Happy Capital of India" is one of my favorite after Darjeeling.I love it because honestly what's not there to love?

Bangalore - Goa RoadTrip

This is my third trip to Goa.The first time I was in Goa was with my parents 14 long years back cruising in the dusk and chilling down on the Calangute beach,taking bath every morning or running deep in the sea.The second time I was in Goa was when Scuba was in my mind,we took a cool and convenient overnight bus and yes! There it was,we  chilling in Baga Riverside and renting a moped to drive down the narrow lanes of Goa.It was then I discovered that Goa has its own share of islands,one of them being Grande Island where we Wreck Dived.


This was my third trip,unlike the two previous ones,this was a trip of plenty of fun and new discoveries for we, 9 of us in our 3 cars took a road trip of 10 hours each way starting on Thursday night at 12 o' midnight to save time and holidays.

Well the route to Goa is pretty much straight,there are 3 ways on how you can do it as one of our friend Ravi suggested:

a. Almost 65% of the drive from Bangalore to Goa is NH4. There are three options after Hubli. You take the turn from Hubli and head via Ankola,Karwar . This route would be through forests and a bit of ghat section. Roads as I mentioned are ok with sudden pot holes.But considering that you don't cross 80km/hr, you should easily avoid them

b. The 2nd option is after Dharwad. This route will take you to Ponda through dense forests. One would have to encounter good amount of ghat driving here.I took this road during my Aug 1st drive and found the roads pretty bad. You would most likely encounter foggy conditions when crossing Anmod ghat.So would not advice you to take this route.

c. The 3rd option is through Belgaum. This route would take you to Goa through Chorla Ghat road. Reasonably good roads. Very scenic Ghat, with couple of nice falls on the route. Few stretches are bad though.Again you would have to drive through ghat roads.


Any which way,you wouldn't be getting 100% perfect roads anywhere.We drove down NH4 till Dharwad and then to Panjim because as Google suggested it was the shortest route and we wanted to save time.Our friends were kind enough to divert at Belgaum and take the Chorla Ghat but advised us that there is nothing so special in the route "May be first timers would love the hilly ghat,but nothing we might enjoy".Since we were returning via Karwar we chose to skip option 1 for onward journey.

The drive from Dharwad to Panjim is as I said was not perfect.We have big potholes lined up in the section when It passes through Forests.It was,difficult to drive in that terrain and for a moment we thought how convenient was our last time when we took the bus.It reminded me of my trip to Haryana in our All India Road Trip and we felt like screaming "Gosh! Someone please fill up the holes ;)".Also,in that Route there are no petrol pumps,may be you should do it the way we did.Anywhere in Goa,or regions nearing Goa,its easy to find petrol.If there ain't petrol pumps,the locals can arrange petrol by Bottle.We stopped at the Dhaba and requested for petrol and yo! We got it.

The Baga Beach,Goa


                                       Buried Alive? or Enjoying the fine grain of sand underneath?

Goa would be incomplete without the famous Baga beach.Don't you see so?Well,the fun in Goa lies in its flea and the endless shack experience on the shore.On all my 3 trips,I have never skipped Baga. Once I fell in love with the flea and bought loads of dresses and unbelievably my sum total was still a meager 350 Rs.Drinking beer by the shore,listening to music,indulging in water sports or just jumping in the water.This time,the moment we arrived in Goa,our friends told us to meet in Baga and when we did,we were straight thrown into the water,well literally.All the while we were thinking of taking a bit of rest after the drive,and here we were in the vast sea playing Ringa Ringa Roses.Those over burdened eyes sparkled with childlike joy!All I felt was weightlessness - isn't that what water does,it soothes your nerves.And then
almost when we thought we would dry up in the hot sun,we were thrown in the wet sand and my dear friends made a mummy out of me!

                                                         Shacks are the best part about Goa

Brittos at Baga Beach is famous for breakfast and  Tito's Nightclub for parties.The entry fee at Tito's is 1500 / couple and starts at 10:30 pm.We chose to skip Tito's because we thought it was costly and more so,we wanted to really chill out on the beach till we were allowed to do so..

The Baga RiverSide

Interesting Baga isn't just a beach we know.We have a whole Baga Riveriera surrounding which are plenty of interesting options to eat.Last time,when we Scuba Dived with Barracuda,we chose to stay at Stanley's Guesthouse at Baga Riverside (which costed us just Rs 900 for double room).Every morning we would take our bikes,say hi to the sweet owners of the guesthouse and carry on our search for that little fun and enjoyment.

This is it for today,tomorrow we explore the Beaches,the Churches and the Islands.I will,also share on how can we do it on a budget in a short note.Goa is one place which can suit all budgets and as they say "When with a hippie,be like a hippie".Share your stories if you have been to Goa,and I would love to hear and know why you love Goa the most ;)

Me with Poom at The Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha
"I don't know how can one make a hallmark of such a wonderful country but for me it was a blessing in the year end.It was as if I was in the other world.The renewed sense of being,brought into me with the great Thai Regal Experience or was it spiritual or both combined? The murals depicting scenes from the Ramayana,the Garudas,the Nagas,The Demons,It took me a while to observe and take in the genuine folk tales of Thai life.No wonder The Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is the country's number one tourist attraction.It was grandiose,I felt like I was in a Television serial being part of Ramayana or Mahabharata live on stage.I felt the angels were protecting and so were the demons."Kaponkap", Thank You indeed for your lovely comments in my previous posts on Thailand but this is just a start believe me."

Ankionthemove thanks Tourism Authority of Thailand,India for their support and guidance.The previous posts are:

The Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha


                                                              A Kingdom or a Palace?

Interestingly if you remember in the last post we discussed about Ballast(The Huge,The Massive,The Small) at Wat Pho in Bangkok.Today at the Grand Palace and the Temple of Emerald Buddha these are not the Ballast we talked about,but the Demons straight from the Ramayana.There are 6 gates around these temples,and 2 Demons in front of each gate. Ravana the king of demons was the green one.

                                       Evil is the shadow of Angel with their weaknesses

In Buddhism,unlike in other religion,Demons are not bad guys.They believe everybody has the bad and the good,its about how much you can control your bad side not to come out.Here at the temple,they give these Demons a chance to look after the temples and to show the good side of their existence.

                                            ...And this is just a part of the Whole complex

The Emerald Buddha Image is the most sacred image of Thailand.It resides at the grandiose Wat Phra Kaeo(Temple of the Emerald Buddha),right next to the former residence of royalty,The Grand Palace.Tourists who come to the temple of the Emerald Buddha are surprised to see the 66 cms and 48/3 cms small Buddha at the really high pavilion.

                                  Can you guess the Emerald Buddha is for which weather?

The Emerald Buddha depending on the season "Summer,Rainy and Winter" is dressed for the occasion. Photography though,is not permitted inside the temple of Emerald Buddha.


                                                         ...And may the wishes be true

What is interesting is the lotus flowers dipped in holy water outside the temple.Wish if you may,and you might just get it.All you have to do is touch the lotus with the holy water and tap gently on your head,closing your eyes,praying for your wishes.What is fascinating here just in front of the temple,is how many Thais come here to pray.The incense stick enveloped the compound with its sweet fragrance.

On a detailed glance at every building in the compound,you will find that every building has 5 colors "Golden White Blue Red Green".These are embellished with unpolished gemstones not heavily sparkling but adding a royalty to the temple.The Buddhas were worshiped and so they are made of Gold,real Gold.The Royal Temple is only used to allow Garuda as the Buddha decorative because Garuda is the symbol of Vishnu God,right now they use it as the symbol of the King.Also one of at one of the side of the temple,is the small replica of the exact Ankor Wat,Cambodia.They say that the king was an architect and for him Ankor Wat in Cambodia was love at first sight.Since Ankor Wat is very large made of stone,he could not move it and hence we have a mini Ankor Wat in the temple.

Supatra River House

                                                              Food Lovers By The River

Just across the Grand Palace located on the banks of Chao Phraya River is the Supatra River House.This two storey traditional Thai House is a heaven for traditional Thai Food Lovers.We too had our best of the best in the Supatra River House with the view of the river.But as I promised we will cherish the best food locations when we learn cooking tomorrow with Amita :) and certainly not before that..

Rarin Jinda Wellness Spa




                        You choose which one - The Jet Water Spa or the Traditional Thai Spa?

Award winning Boutique Spa "Rarin Jinda" is a must visit.I always used to think how a hot stone massage would be,as in what happens when stones do the magic instead of the kneading hands we are so used to in India.It began with we chose our own aromatic oil(Lavender,Vanila,Olive,Honey anyone?) and then came one of the most relaxing massage of my life.The stones were placed at the Chakras on my back and slowly and slowly the stones were rotated and massaged with the oil.Oh so relaxing! Something I wouldn't have experienced in India.

Ok guys with this,we end for today.Tomorrow I take you on how to cook your favorite Thai recipes,do some shopping at the flea,discuss favorite food joints and watch the whole Bangkok city from the highest tower.Any guesses to why Bangkok is Backpackers favorite,oh well on second note,there's no other place which provides such diversity. Isn't it?

/*Please note that the pictures have been compressed for better page load :) */

Issued at Bangkok at 11.30 hrs. (GMT+7) on 15 January 2014

The ongoing anti-government demonstrations in Bangkok have been peaceful most of the time, and are taking place at six intersections - Pathumwan, Rajaprasong, Saladaeng, Lat Phrao, Asoke and the Victory Monument roundabout - and the Government Complex on Chaeng Wattana Road.

Parts or some lanes of roads linking to the rally sites may be closed to traffic, but all other roads and expressways are open as normal. During the day, the anti-government demonstrators are also organizing marches to different parts of Bangkok, which may cause traffic disruptions at certain times.

Commuters and travellers can commute to and from their desired destinations using other roads and expressways, as well as public transport, including the skytrain, subway, airport rail link, city bus, van, boat and ferry, as well as train services.

It should be stressed that tourists have not been targeted in the ongoing political demonstrations. Tourists are advised to be vigilant and avoid areas where crowds may gather as there may be traffic disruptions or delays, thus causing inconvenience.

Life in Bangkok and throughout Thailand continues as normal. Most businesses, including banks, petrol and gas stations, hotels, spas, restaurants, entertainment venues, cinemas, convention centres, shopping malls, superstores, convenient stores, pharmacies, hospitals and the likes are open and operating as per normal.

Brilliantly jaw dropping Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building ushered on New Year 2014 in vibrant colors of fireworks,drawing the colors of UAE Flag making the whole world watch in awe.It was then,Dubai broke Guinness World Record with the largest fireworks display this New Year.



For those who might be thinking the event was an exception,you might just be wrong.Dubai is a place for celebrations.When I am penning down the post now,the World Expo 2020 winner Dubai is celebrating Dubai Food Festival which lasts for 23 days.Dubai International Kite Festival is the only event of its kind in the Middle East and the celebration starts from 17th January 2014.When I was there,I visited the Dubai International Parachuting Championship,where Skydivers from across the world had come to participate and form various Formations mid air in the very popular Dubai Skydive.The list of festivals in Dubai for this year is here.

For those who are already tempted to visit Dubai,Emirates has recently launched packages worth 30k inclusive of Airfare during the 19th edition of the Dubai Shopping Festival for 3 nights/4 star properties.If you still want to do it on your own(which I had suggested in previous post might turn out to be equal or more than the packages),you can go for the options here.

                                                     Unbelievably Torqoise,The Surfing Point

There is no other place in this world I guess which combines the modern with the old with such panache.I was surprised to know Dubai has some of the most drool worthy beaches too,yes it isn't only Desert Safari.The question is what we know about Dubai is really not even 2% of Dubai.What I have covered may be just a fraction,but it will I assure be quite enough to open your mind and explore the UAE!It doesn't hurt when we have Emirates and Qatar flying in and out so very often.May be walking down the Corniche was a great idea or may be driving down to Oman with prior visa was well-worthy.May be even taking a short trip to the other parts of the Emirates would have been great.I couldn't even Shop properly in those 5 days,just a few shoes,but had it been at least a week,I would have got something for you all,poor me :)

As I said before my trip, to Abu Dhabi and Dubai was purely personal.I wanted a vacation which was just me and my friends.Thanks to Canada Tourism,Thailand Tourism,Visit Scotland and Visit Britain for having faith on me the last year and sponsoring my trip.However,this was a trip when Social Networking was last on my mind.I didn't have a checklist on which places to go either,may be just a rough Idea the way it was for Maldives.I love the recognition the rat race in the mind provides,I mean ain't we all running in the race for being the best intentionally or unintentionally.For once I ain't doing bad,300000 visitors in just 2 years,so many comments and recognitions,recently listed in top 4 travel blogger to get inspired from,top 11 adventure bloggers to follow,in top 25 Indian Travel Bloggers,plenty of brand associations and interviews and I have interesting career to support me.Frankly,I feel blessed.It wasn't that I had these things in my mind prior,but along the way came beautiful people who trusted in me and experiences I wouldn't have got otherwise.

I think it's up to me to pace my life,I love my friends(and I have lots of them),my family,my parents and everyone in my life who I think is worth mentioning.I know time would fly,but there are people and moments you remember the most.And it is for them and you lovely people,that my smiles are more than smiles.I love the fact that I can survive without even my cellphone and a TV (I haven't watched TV for last 5 years) and be happy about it.Like recently,I took a vacation with my 9 college friends to Goa and we all had a blast.In fact,we literally slept on the beaches,and nothing else but fun was in our mind.So did we discovered Islands,drove down to places which we thought was worthy,danced on local tunes and had
beer by the midnight.What else do we want from life?Coming back to Dubai,lets begin with what we did,shall we?

Dubai And The Beaches


                                          The white sand and the gorgeous coastline of Dubai             

Constantly voted as the world's most luxurious hotel,Burj Al Arab is situated overlooking the tortoise blue coastline of Dubai.The sea reminded me of Maldives.In fact,the gorgeous Dubai coastline with white sand and tortoise water followed us even while driving from Abu Dhabi to Dubai.The broad roads on the highway were meant to provide a stunning view,so this side or that side was the sea and our road.In fact,here is the list of some of the beautiful beaches of Dubai you may want to stroll in.Here is the list of Car Rental Services in UAE.

We had great fun in the beaches.And after we were done admiring the natural beauty with the man made creation just alongside,we decided to eat at a local dhaba. Fish fry ,Rice and Curry was what we had ordered.And believe me the flavors were melting in my mouth,the same way last time in Abu Dhabi Papparoti did the trick.

                       Ah! For once I love being a Non-veg.The fresh fish fried and served.

Dubai Desert Safari:An Entertainment Oasis in the middle of the Desert

After choosing our pick up point from the Mall of the Emirates,at around 3pm our bus came.We were told that we would be transferred to the Land Cruiser (4wds) at the Desert Site.And when we were,the ride began with much gusto.

I play hide and seek with the Sun on the Dunes
The golden sands and our 4wds cruising its way speedily over the up and down dunes making its way forward with bollywood tunes(Yes!) playing in our (4wds) .It was then we saw most beautiful sunset making the sand shimmering like gold.




And when we were all ready to settle in and sit and enjoy the belly dance we were amused to see the performances that followed.It was magical.I still wonder Shakira like moves would take so much practice and performing in front of cheering audience,an applause for sure.




Dressing up in Abaya,holding the falcons,eating the best of Kebabs at the site were some of the attractions.


The pretty lady in Abaya! Do you like me?
An ideal Desert Safari with renowned Arabian Nights would cost roughly 80$ pp.Sangeeta Reghu Nair from SangryWords gives her insight on Dubai and Oman and says that we can even do an overnight Safari with stay in the desert in Dubai but that costs a bomb,but should be worth it.If you are looking for cheap options,we do have Groupon deals on the UAE website but I am not sure about the experience they provide.

In the next post,we discuss the best Shopping Joints,the best Food Joints,The Dubai Parachuting Championship,The Dubai Mall and the spectacular light and sound show.Tada :)

Bangalore has always surprised me.With the great choices of food we have everywhere,it is no doubt one of the best Culinary destinations in India.From the best Breweries to the best of Mexican to the Chinese to the Indian,the city has plenty to offer.It isn't that I haven't been to anywhere else,nothing compares the Phuchkas,Jaal Muri,Gugni and Fresh Fish fry in Kolkata or the delicious Butter Chicken and Paranthas in Delhi.However there is a catch,how many places in India offer the best South Indian?

The City's Thriving Street Food Starts in the night everyday If by South Indian,your sense of taste is only confined to Idli,Vada and Sambar,it's time to explore more.Just the way we did the other day,like 2 weeks back.Me and my friends decided to skip the regular and head to famous among locals or people who live nearby and students yet unknown to majority of the crowd is the Food Street of Bangalore.The city's food joints along the whole section of road called "Thindi Beedhi"(Kannada word for food street) or Khao Galli.Situated at VV Puram,near to Lalbagh,has many local food joints by the road side and the food they make is by generous use of Ghee and Butter.Imagine a whole road dedicated to road side food including fresh yummy Pakoras,Cakes to Puddu!Also worth sampling is paddu, kolbade, akki roti, ragi roti and thatte idly at Idli Mane or the Bisi Bisi Masala Dosa.
This Sunday,I bring you a photo essay with the best of local food along with international at our very own Thindi Beedhi.

Pass on your plate please and remember the show starts at around 7 pm everyday and continues till almost midnight ;)
