My lagos diary in pictures

.........FINALLYYYYYY i went to lagos in July. Whatever said about it, i found it a nice place with even nicer people :).

How the one and half month passed, i do not know. On second thoughts i know !!! Partying and eating a lot. Now let the pictures do all the talking.........

Corbett, "Tals" and Binsar

.................This month (April) we went for a one week holiday to Corbett National park, Naukuchiatal and finally Binsar. In our Canter Safari in Corbett we saw many animals but not the tiger, then we went uphill to the "Tals", Nainital, Bhimtal, Sattal and Naukuchiatal......so far this was a regular holiday but the ascent upto Binsar - the temperature, ambience, the cottage and the Sanctuary at Binsar really won me over........my next holiday will be binsar and onwards....What really impressed me was the forest and the enchanting Jageshwar temples - i dont know why but these reminded me of the temples in Bali........

My 7 Days Detox at Kottakal Vaidyashala

.............Well i thought, since i will be fasting for 9 days from 5th of April why not use this opportunity to recharge and rejuvenate myself. So i went and met this Doctor and she suggested that i should do this Panchakarma treatment - which is like servicing of the car, it takes care of the deterioration process of the body and keep us healthy and balanced. So my treatment started on 5th - with Oil massage, Pudikidi ( Potali with Herbal powders heated and rubbed over the body) and then Shirodhara. The first day, i felt very tired and body was aching all over. Now today is the 4th day, i feel as if all the pain has been sucked out of my body and i feel quite light and nice.....i am not eating much, only the fast food and i sleep at night, i get good sleep. The hair is oil, i will wash it tomorrow as on Sunday we have to go for the Puja. The therapist told me that madam, after this treatment you will be fresh for 6 months.......

Tuljhapur, Pandharpur & Hyderabad

.........Wherever i think of visiting, the presiding deities promptly fulfill my wish....so our much delayed Hyderabad Trip finally materialised and we left on Friday and on the way stopped at Tuljhapur, offered our prayers , sari, Oti and prayed, then reached Hyderabad the next day. After staying there for 3 days we returned again on Wednesday and this time stopped at Pandharpur and spent the night there. Here also we saw the deity from very close and offered our prayers. It was a very fulfilling experience and more so as i travelled with both Mom and Mom-in-law.

Hyderabad was nice, we stayed with Priti and saw the light and sound show at Golkonda again, visited the Ramoji Rao city again and had Biriyani at Paradise....It was a nice trip and since this was done by car, it was more fun.

SHIRDI again

...........we went to Shirdi this week on Tueday (15th ) and came back on the next day. This was my second trip after so many years. Everything seemed different, we spent a lot of time in the temple. The next day we went to Shani Singnapore and then to Yeola, where the karigars weave orginal paithani and i ended up buying a Paithani from Soni sarees- the most expensive saree of my life till date............

Last 6 months overivew

..............I have made all these posts today for the last 6-8 months today for the simple reason, that i forget what i did and when......so this is a kind of diary that will remind me what i did and when but to sum up......last year - My 1st year of Sabbatical was very fruitful and good and i completed a lot of things i had wanted to do all my life. Jan started with Calligraphy, Feb my mom's treatment and then the trips started......then i did my gemmology ( June - July 10) and September was a big disppointment when my much hyped, planned trip to Kailash Mansarovar went phusss........well thats a long story.....but again like everything else, i believe it happened for the very best and god chose that as an opportunity to free me from the shackles which bind me.....and i know i will go again....when i don't know..............maybe this year, maybe next lets see.............after this i completed my yoga course successfully............that was the highlight of the year.
2011 has begun - By the time i realised its already Feb now.....lets see what unfolds.....so many places to go to, my list is ready.......i am ready, steady, goooooooooo..............

Kolhapur again

............Dec, 10 After coming back from Yoga in December me mom and Mil we went to Ganpatiphule again and this time we i donated for Annadana for the 10th of March, our D day.......The day trip to Kolhapur was nice as this was the second time i was going there and i bought three pairs of Kolhapuris........
