The words in the letter seemed too fantastic to be true, but there they were, staring back at me as clear as daylight. "The earth opened and swallowed many people, before my face, and the sea I saw came mounting in over the wall, upon which I concluded it impossible to escape." Those were the words of Edmund Heath, who eventually did survive (which is how he wrote that letter) in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake that rocked Port Royal, Jamaica, in 1692. He penned those thoughts from the safety of a ship that was anchored in the harbor of his city and he wrote it as the city crumbled around him. Port Royal was, at one time, described as the “most wicked and sinful city” all over the world. It was known for the darkness of its heart and the magnificence of it all; the booze  [...]

It might seem surprising but it is a fact that if one has to search for the oldest and the most archaic of mythological Hindu temples anywhere in the world, the grandest and best specimens are found not here in India, but in South East part of the Asian continent i.e. countries such as Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia. Of these countries, Central Java and Bali regions of Indonesia can boast of the oldest and the most important cultural heritage sites bundled with the archaic and the pious. The most captivating, ear and eye catching first sites in Central Java are the sights and sounds of Hindu gods and goddesses in a unique and picturesque spectacle not witnessed by the human eye anywhere else in the world. Though, older temples are known to exist there and elsewhere, the most famous of  [...]

There is something about the place, and I cannot put my finger on it, that leaves with a distinct feeling of sleepiness. Not that leaden feeling that weighs down your eyelashes and dulls all of your collectiveness, but more of a calm that is so omnipresent that it slows you down along with everything else. And here in A Guarda, in Galicia at the toe of Pontevedra, it is as if time slows down and a sanguine laziness seeps from every pore of the little municipality’s ethos. Even as tourism starts to take off here, the town’s original 10,000 inhabitants still look to fishing as the cornerstone of their economy. Fishing How appropriate that that most leisurely of Sunday activities, that bastion of all things delightfully backward should be the plinth on which this town was built. The  [...]

The first question to strike my mind when I set foot here, the first question of many was why the hell is this place so off the map? I often hear that if there is a god at all, he is not merciful and kind and that he created humans as a means of amusement, puppets on a string dropped on a stage where there is no hope and no joy to be had. To all those people, I have two words to say…“ Geoagiu Bai”. No, I haven’t taken leave of my senses, yet. It’s just that I couldn’t believe how much cajoling and coaxing it took for me to finally come here. My rationale was that if it was so splendid, how come I had (or almost anyone else) heard about it yet? That probably explains why no one knows how to pronounce its name, barring Madalina whose tongue it rolls off sounding like freshly picked  [...]

If you want a break – away from the hustle-bustle of Vegas – then just drive for an hour and a half into the gorges of the arid Arizona desert. The Grand Canyon is a 190 km drive from Las Vegas and near to places like Phoenix and Denver. The Canyon is a perfect vacation spot for tourists visiting the U.S. Located in the desert of Utah, it is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River. It is near the Hoover Dam which is a major source of water supply to the entire Arizona desert. The Canyon was believed to be the home to many Native Americans called the Pueblo. It was believed to be cut across by the Colorado River 17 million years ago. It was a result of erosion that took place and carved across the plateau. It is 446 km long, its width ranges from 6.4 to 29 km and attains  [...]
