In 2010 I had been to all the four directions in India.

Starting with the west, been to Mumbai in August for some Research Conference and Seminars.

This one was sunset from Worli beach …. been there with my Mom 🙂

I met some of my old friends there from other school and we explored some part of Mumbai !

We went to Haji Ali Dargah

Later in the Friday night ….YMCA dance in Hard Rock Cafe, Worli… 😀

The North Block and the South Block…



And here comes the India Gate …

Yeah I was lost here and some very rude guys were messing around but thankfully I met my friends soon… 🙂

Later in November me and my family decided to travel some places in South …

I was bored with school work , although no one should try such vacations before their boards but it was okay since I was aiming just to pass the tests…

We flew to Chennai …

Marina beach at night… the sand is very slippery and tides are dangerous … not so good for swimming…

That typical south Indian food… Idlis Dosa and Sambarrrrr… I love the coconut paste …yummm 😀

These teddies made my day 😀

Next, it was a day trip to Pondicherry …

After the show I had tears in my eyes… So brave so courageous ! I am here today because of some great people out there in the past who fought for the right and justice !

Next few days we hopped around the various islands…

Place were the jailers used to hang the prisoners…



This island has survived a Tsunami back in 2004 and it was told to us by a lady who lives there that this island has turned almost 90 degrees due to the seismic waves …
