Goa: a natural paradise Hello, I’m Goa and I’m the smallest state of India. I know that I have a domineering reputation in Indian tourism market and I’ve been the most desirable place to hang out at the subcontinent. I also know that I’m always in center of attention and people call me the ‘Pearl of Orient’ lovingly. But I’ve become the victim of my own reputation. Since innumerable backpackers from India & abroad come to me for fun & frolicking, I’ve lost my ataraxis. I never sleep; I never rest and can never enjoy the so called solitude & serenity. However, I love this and feel felicitous watching people in jubilant mood all around. I feel proud when people admire my rich cultural heritages, my colorful traditions and appealing history. It’s always nice to see people having happy dining & shopping at my beaches & markets.

                                                   image source: wikipedia It’s rather a simple town, where one shouldn’t expect lavishness or verdant exoticism. Hotels are mostly budget-friendly, and transportation and dining are quite reasonable either.

Home to the world famous Taj Mahal and stunningly built Red Fort, Agra attracts travelers, especially the ones inclined towards history & cultures, in hordes. It is situated on the bank of historical Yamuna River, and has always been in wish list of backpackers from far and wide. I recently took a visit to Agra, with my brothers, and like each time I found the city brimming with travelers, domestic as we...

The commercial capital and the gateway to India for the western world, Mumbai is one of the most vibrant cities on the earth. Originally an archipelago inhabited by fishermen and such other folks, the city is today home to the biggest corporate houses, billionaires and the most recognized celebrities of the world. Mumbai thrives on contrasts, and has been a dream destination for many. The city incurred its name by its original habitants, who used to call it Mumbai after their patron goddess Mumba Devi. Before coming into hands of Portuguese in early 16 th century, Mumbai was ruled by a Hindu King Bhim Dev and then by the Sultans of Gujarat. Portuguese called it Bom Bahia – the beautiful bay – which later became Bombay. In 1661, Portuguese gifted the city to British as part of dowry, when Princess Catherine of Braganza espoused Charles II of Britain.
