Travel Tales from Mridula
Le Meridien, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
|
I stayed only for one night at Le Meridien Kota Kinalabu in the Sabah region of Malaysia, whereas I would have liked to stay more. The hotel is an old one, but it went through a renovation process recently. Here is an account of my extremely short stay with them.
Check-In The Newly Renovated Lobby with the Sea Theme The check in at the hotel was smooth. They asked for my passport and gave me my room key. We were checking in the evening and there was hardly any queue. The lobby was buzzing though. [...] |

Jakkur Lake, Bangalore
|
The Jakkur Lake in Bangalore is in the north-eastern part of the city. Today, it is one of the largest and cleanest water bodies in the city. This would not have been possible without the initiative taken by the people who took keen interest in developing it into a beautiful and scenic place. This 160 acre lake allows for limited fishing activities and is frequented by various birds. Among other birds the pelicans and painted stork throng this lake as they come here for nesting.

Over the years many pf these have disappeared while only a few have endured the test of times and live on to tell their tale to the world. One such house is the Braganza Pereira House located [...] |

Moving on... from Dharamsala to Amritsar to Rishikesh
|
Amritsar wasn’t on the original itinerary for our #SummerTrip. The city was added to our plan simply because we were delayed in booking Shankar’s return flight, and the only convenient one available was from Amritsar! It was then that realization dawned – that Shankar had never visited the Golden Temple! Plans were at once re-modified, tickets booked, and I began to look forward to my third visit to the city! Somewhere on the way to Amritsar... Read more » |

Praying...

Samyak (www.samyakkaninde.com) posted a photo:
This nymph of a stick mantis was all lost in the grass below where I was not even looking. The only time it caught my attention was when it came on this rock and I realised some movement on the contrasting background. Closely inspecting, there was this little fella all too bold and beautiful striking poses after each step it took. |

The state of compassion
|
Posted in Notes Islamic State. European state. Indian state. One denies human existence on the basis of religion, and the other does the same using their borders while the third does so because their race/caste/tribe is different. And it is always the little ones who fall victims. Aylan Kurdi, the little boy who washed ashore on the Turkey coast. Then the three infants of twenty seven years old tribal woman Anitha in Kerala. Her three infants died at birth because she was denied admission in the [...] |

Hmm

Having a partner who speaks 6 other languages (None of which I speak) apart from English means that I get to hear a lot of songs I would have never heard otherwise.
Today I have a test and I haven’t studied anything. I am going for the probability..ie..if I pick B for all the questions I don’t know the answer to, chances are that I get 1 in 4 right. ( I think we can safely assume that my GPA is heading south) Instead of studying, I am listening to this song.. Lyrics and translation [...] |

Striped Dress
|
I read somewhere Vertical Stripes create a illusion of adding height to your frame and Horizontal stripes add width. I don't really want to add any width but for sure like wearing horizontal stripes. A Striped dress is the easiest way to try color blocking. This green striped dress has been one of my best buys. I have styled it with the gorgeous gem studded necklace which I received from Happiness Boutique few weeks ago. This is one stunning piece of jewelry that can instantly glam up any simple outfit.
