Candle light dinner on New Year's eve

While the world was running after fancy (read expensive) DJ parties, we decided on a quiet dinner at home. Little did I know that it would turn out to be the best dinner I have ever had. My wife did up the place like a lounge - aromatic candles & flowers all around, piano on the stereo and drinks on the house! Its moments such as these that make a day special and it was truly a fantastic way to ring in the new year. A pleasant surprise for me!

Pictured above are some profile shots of my wife Sheetal.

Wish you all a healthy, wealthy and green 2010 from both of us.

An Aquaman?

An aqua Superman!, this man appears to have propelled himself to hit the moon.

Beach in the evening

Kashid beach is about 30 minutes drive from Murud - Janjira. This beach is a must visit for those travelling to Murud-Janjira. It has clean white sands, blue waters, shacks that serve you hot snacks & cool beverages and a few revellers. As I have been noting throughout this blog, a beach lends itself for a variety of activities, some of which are again pictured here. Beaches are great places to be since one seldom comes across an unhappy face.

On the waterfront

This one's a view straight out of Nicholas Sparks' romantic novel! This photo has been taken from the deck of Estuary Island Resort near Kovalam in Kerala. The resort derives its name from the fact that it is located on a private island close to the confluence point of Arabian sea, a lake and a river. The resort, which has excellent amenities, is a must visit for the romantically inclined.
