Beijing bound!

It was that time of year again- the time when we hadn’t gone for a vacation in far too long to remember and we were each getting on each other’s nerves- that’s the time when we know we have to fly away not just to ee something new but to breathe some fresh air and press the restart button for the both of us! … Read More Beijing bound!

A day in Amsterdam…!

Amsterdam was the last stop on our best Euro trip ever and we were exhausted! Traveling had been incredible and exciting but we knew Amsterdam would give us the much needed down time that one often feels one needs AFTER a holiday…like the holiday from the holiday! We were right! Both Aditya and I had visited Amsterdam before… but when we were kids. This … Read More A day in Amsterdam…!

Parisian Adventures Day 1

Courtesy -: TravelWithDivya.com And it was off on a Eurail journey again….and my first overnight train from Venice to Paris. Much has been written about this train-the luxury of first class, the food , the convenience. These are all lies. The train is filthy, cramped, and a totally awful way to cross from one country to another especially from 2 cities as glamorous as … Read More Parisian Adventures Day 1

You haven’t known what romance is unless you’ve been to Venezia….you’ll never truly understand beauty unless you go there.

The Age of War

The horrors of this week were so frightful they were like a terrifying movie but unfortunately all to real. The shocking violence that erupted in the Manesar plant was not … Read More The Age of War

The Good Doctor

“I am sorry. Your brain has been compromised. Your left side is paralysed and you will now never be able to move again!” Those were the first words I heard from a Doctor on the Monday morning when I was just diagnosed with Acute Disseminated Encyphomyelitis.

Leaning on the Tower of Pisa!

The Leaning tower of Pisa is something I had always wanted to see and when you’re in Florence , Pisa is a measly 45 minutes by train and we knew we just HAD TO , HAD TO go! If you want to climb the Tower, which is what we wanted to do, it’s better to book online so you don’t have to wait in … Read More Leaning on the Tower of Pisa!

Romance in Florence

Florence also known as Firenze is easily the most romantic city (save for Venice that we visited). I must say the name of our hotel Hotel Rocco Forte- Savoy did not sound either impressive or grand and this was definitely the city I was least looking forward to traveling to! We arrived early in the morning as we were only spending 2 nights and … Read More Romance in Florence

The tour started post a fabulous, … Read More A date with History- Pompeii and Vesuvius

The days before the show!

  FourSome is at the NCPA Cheer Festival this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. and is 2 days away! Feelings- madness, exhaustion, excitement. Comedy is hard! 4 comedies HARDER! Luckily for me I have a bunch of very enthusiastic actors who allow me my madness and have faith that something brilliant will come out of the insanity! I am actually quite funny (usually unknowingly!). And I … Read More The days before the show!
