The Other Place

As expressed in my earlier blog there's one more place I love then India and that is Perhentian Islands that is located in Malaysia..! My first exposure to this island was 10 months back when my friends decided to celebrate eid on the island and I was asked to hop along.. I had never been to an island and I wasn't really looking forward because i am not really a water person.. But nevertheless I tagged along.

The journey to Perhentian Island was long & tiring..Firstly, as we were prepared to leave two of friends didn't show up they fell asleep( they were the organisers) so we kept on calling & calling to wake them up and finally they woke up and the chase to the bus station began.. We had only 20 mins to get to the station or else we would miss our bus and that would be the end of our holiday.. Luckily we made it on time.. But one of my friends couldn't make it as she was coming from another place and lost her way and so we had to leave without her..

Now started the 8 hour bus journey to the island..

Dooooooobaaaaaiiiii....

So after the 10 days stay in India it was now time to move on to Dubai we stayed in Dubai for 4 days.. Apart from the scorching heat everything else was amazing.. The Days in Dubai passed by quick and it was time to say goodbye to Dubai and the holiday.. Before I left Dubai I met up with two old mates of mine... Spent a whole day with them which was enlightening…

Graduation & India

The last I posted on my blog was almost a month back..! I went on a long break.. Firstly because I had exams the final paper I ever wrote for my university... & nothing could beat the feeling knowing that you have passed and are a Graduate.. The only thing remaining now for me to wear a black cap and ring in the official graduate tag..!

After my papers were done I went on a two weeks holiday to India & Dubai.. Now let me tell you a small secret about me and India. I have loved India since the first time I visited it in 1996! I was just 6 years old then but from that moment I have never loved any place as such except 1 which I will talk about in my next post :) I have a certain fondness for India.. Specially for Mumbai the city is always buzzing, it is called the NewYork of India because it is one city that never sleeps..Mumbai just brings a positive vibe in me and makes me go wild with its offerings. Ofcourse not forgetting I'm a die hard foodie, Mumbai had foods to die for though a bit spicy but amazing food... You can catch some glimpses of the amazing time I have had in India ..:)

After the food comes the night life.. We were situated around one of the busy hubs that is Hotel Suba Palace that was behind The Taj Hotel & gateway of India. So the place was always buzzing with cars people and parties and Ofcourse the ghoda gadi rides( horse cart rides) which are good to see the city during the night !
