Candolim, Goa: The Queen of My Dreams!!!

Image
Now, I usually catch it in my dreams: serene, tranquil and uncrowded coastline endorsed with scintillating scenery of palm trees and groovy mountain views. Away from madness of Goa, about 15-km from Capital city Panaji, there locates Candolim: my dream beach destination in India’s beach capital. I have been to this pristine sandy beach thrice, but every time we encounter it enriches me something unique: indeed remarkably pleasant. My brother (cousin) is settled in Ponda, which encourages me to pack my bags to Goa every six month or so. My last meet with Candolim was two months ago, and I was pleased to discover that the grace here is even better than it was two years ago. Candolim is, famously, the place where tranquility and solace has a different meaning, matchless to almost everywhere in Goa. Fetchingly tucked between Aguada Fort and Calangute beach, Candolim is one of the longest beaches in Goa and is a sparkling jewel of Bardez Taluka. Very calm, picturesque and peaceful, ...

Why I Love Travelling So Much???

Learning is a lifelong process and is not throttled to any age, place or time-frame. You can learn when lying, flying, playing and even wandering without any fixed objective. And travelling, for this matter, is one of the most invaluable courses we can have. It teaches us new experiences, makes us open-minded and enhances our intellectuality and thinking-prospect.

So what he talked about is the possibility for everyone to savor amazing artwork in London, especially the ones with limited financial resources. It’s common ...

Singapore: In Quest of Ambitious Makeover

For too long now Singapore has become one of the most exotic travel destinations in Asia. After separating from Malaysia about forty years ago, Singapore has constantly been attempting to become Asia’s number one city in term of efficiency and lifestyle. And thanks to its intensity of efforts, it’s now at its most ambitious makeover ever: a global art city, gaming Mecca, educational hub and most elegant and worthies place to visit on.    Singapore is a melting pot of various cultures from almost everywhere in Asian continent. Nevertheless, it doesn’t feel or smell like Asia. It has preserved some its finest historical creatures like Raffles Hotel, but a lot many of them have crumbled under its quest for modernism. Traditional buildings have turned into shinning high-rises and much of colonial history has become a history. Towering skyscrapers, world-class hotels and a number of newly established landmarks reflect Singpore’s wealth of 21 st  century. In l...
