48 hours in Lucknow

Lucknow can be taken as a sweet dish, from the way people speak (ah that accent!) to the lovely architecture of the magnificent mosques to the manners, everything oozes out tons of sweetness. Add the delicious cuisines, especially the Mughlai kebabs, biryani and what not, and the city becomes one delicious dream of a food lover along with a poetry enthusiast and the one who understands the nuisances of what constitutes a great city to live in. Spending some time here amidst the narrow alleys, the crowded markets, and delicate biryani outlets may not set well with you at the first sight. But the city grows on you and then refuses to come out of your system.

Below are the things that you can do on a 2 day trip to this beautiful city.

Day 1

Start the day with breakfast. And what is a perfect place for some delicious breakfast than Moti Mahal? Away from the meaty cuisines of rest of the city, this is an all vegetarian food point and serves healthy and delicious food.

The afternoon would be spent taking a fully guided tour of the famous Bhool Bhulaiyaa which happens to be an iconic spot for the ardent history lovers. It was built in the 17th century and is still a place to get lost in even after all these years. Besides this, there are other things that this historical marvel has which will leave you thrilled. These are such the thick trees and lush gardens, a mosque, tazias (small replicas of Imam Hussain’s tomb in Karbala, Iraq), and rooftop balconies that will surround you with panoramic views of the Imambara in Lucknow.

Late afternoon should be dedicated to a place that gives a glimpse into the city’s past during the colonial days, the Lucknow residency. Also known as British residency, this place gives a good peek into the way the British people operated in the city. Visiting it may give you some vague idea about how the foreigners undertook their operations.

Idrish Hotel is the perfect place to end the day with the delicious chicken biryani. Situated in the most historic areas of the city, this one is a wonderful hotel cum restaurant.

Day 2

Start the next day with some vegetarian delights at Brindavan hotel. Located in Hazratganj, the restaurant is one of the most popular restaurants in the city and is a decent crowd puller serving some great chaats and chole bhature along with poori and sabzi.

Chattar manzil or the umbrella place is located just at a few kilometers’ distance from the zoo and a great spot to start the part 2 of the 2-day visit to the city. Nawab Ghazi Haider built it but died midway through the construction. His son then took the     Charge of finishing the construction and gave us this wonderful monument to be amazed about.

Most travelers happen to miss the famous 900-year-old Khamman Peer Dargah, which remains unseen in the premises of Charbagh Railway Station in Lucknow. The place is filled with the non-stop chanting of the holy Qurans and the crowd is unimaginably heavy, not only Muslims but a great number of Hindus too.

For a relaxing dinner, you must head nowhere but Falaknuma, a classy and sophisticated rooftop restaurant at the Clarks Avadh hotel. The restaurant has a real nawabi feel to it and serves some great Awadhi and Mughlai meals.

Lucknow, fondly called the City of Nawabs is packed with countless tourist attractions, religious centers, and mouthwatering eateries.

Most of the city can be visited in two days but to get the full essence of the soul of the city may take a lot longer than that. But something is better than nothing and these 2 days spent in here will stay with you for a very long time.

Spectacular teracotta work of Temples in Bishnupur

Bishnupur is in West Bengal and got its name from Lord Vishnu of Hindu Mythology. Known for its traditional architecture, it has brilliant terracotta temples with detailed and intricate work. While in Bishnupur, I had planned a list of temples to see and while talking to the locals, I got to hear the story behind the terracotta temples. Turns out, back I 18th century the Malla Kings decided to build these temples but fell short of stones. Such grand beautiful shrines that people adore till date was a result of a scarcity of stones.

As I arrived at Netaji Subhas Chandra Airport in Kolkata, I took a bus to Bishnupur. The lodgings were also available at a fair price and the room was comfortable. Travelling around Bishnupur was also easy as we found auto rickshaws everywhere.

My first stop was Rasmancha and as soon as I entered the place, I was in awe. The whole temple had a single chamber and passageways surround it. Just the Terracotta work would make you marvel at its beauty. I was glad to have hired a guide who gave us a back story about the temple and the Malla Kings. Since photography is allowed, I ended up clicking many pictures but no picture would be able to justify the actual experience of being there.

The next stop was Madan Mohan Temple. This temple was also beautiful with stories of Ramayana inscribed on the terracotta tablets. A mixture of stone and terracotta work with its flat roof giving it a Bengali touch, this temple was a true work of art. Nearby, the guide showed us a Peepal tree which had a trunk that looked like Lord Ganesha.

Then we went to Jor Bangla Temple. The structure of this temple is unique as it looks like two adjoined huts. There is terracotta work both on inner and outer walls of the temple and there are scenes of Krishna Leela and other normal life workings of that era inscribed in it.

We then moved on to Radhashyam temple which is just close by. The dome shaped structure and laterite stone give it an Islamic style. We kept reveling in the beauty of these temples and then moved on to the next one.

We did the Pooja in Mrinmoyee temple and I bought a few handicrafts as souvenirs from the shops outside. They displayed horses with terracotta work and other such items. The next temple is a real jewel-like its name suggests. The Panch Ratna Temple had terracotta work on all its wall panels and there were scenes of Radha and Krishna on it. The Ras chakra was the most beautiful and detailed work I saw. We entered through a triple arched entrance and that in itself was a wonderful experience.

There was also a cluster of 7 different temples that we saw but then my excitement got the best of me and we went over to the most popular temple of Bishnupur, the Chinnamasta temple. There is a famous canon called ‘Dalmadol Canon’ nearby and it is believed that Lord Madan Mohan fired it himself once to drive away attackers.I also saw the sarees that had been weaved so beautifully with different patterns that were actually stories from Hindu epics. From pallu to the end, it told a mythological story. I bought some more stuff from shops here too because the work was just so beautiful that I could not resist.

Bishnupur is a beautiful place with many other sites to see such a Bishnupur Museum, Garh Darja and Pathar Darja. It just isn’t a place that you can finish seeing in one day. I took my time exploring each site and it was a marvelous experience.

Tablets are more preferable for their gigantic size which helps the user to have a better multimedia experience and gaming usage with humongous battery life. Asus has been quite topping the list in A game and today we bring another product of its too light: – Asus Zenpad 3S 10 LTE.

Specification Sheet:–

    9. Battery:- 7800mAh with Quick charge 3.0.
    10. Camera:- 8 MP and 5 MP (Front and Rear).
    11. Network:- 4G LTE.

This new beast by Asus has just been revealed this year and already has created a lot of buzz with its larger than life attributes. Formerly, tablets were just a simple medium with less functionality. But now Asus has raised up the stakes and given the Zenpad 3S 10 so many wonderful features, it is clearly blowing our mind away!

Screen Specification

Let’s be honest, people thought the screen size for Mi Max to be humongous but Zenpad 3S 10 boasts a 9.7-inch screen with a 2k resolution! It is just a beautiful revelation for movie enthusiasts and gamers who can now enjoy their multimedia and games at such a bigger and better format. The screen just screams for attention and with that big size, it gets what it wants.

Design
The zenpad 3S 10 is made of exquisite metallic texture and diamond edge cuts which make the zenpad sleek and slender. The tablet is easy to hold and doesn’t slip away due to the friction of the back metallic structure. Even after packing this beast with so many features and wonderful hardware, the mainframe just weighs about 430 grams! Talk about engineering.

Sound System
The Asus zenpad 3S 10 comes with outstanding sound quality and boasting a high quality seered texture through Sonicmaster 3.0 and 7.1 channel virtual sound. Just when you think it doesn’t get any better, they have also packed some slick features for the headphones user too. With dts headphones, X and its-HD premium sound Asus zenpad are rocking your world with its mind-boggling sound system.

Processor and speed
The most sell out feature of a tablet is its ability to handle intense gaming hours with humongous storage capacity. With 32 GB internal on board, you’ll be able to download as many games as you could possibly fathom. As far as the performance is concerned, the hexacore processor of Qualcomm S650 is more than enough to keep things smooth. An extra 4GB LPDDR3 Ram is gonna spice things up a little bit and make the user interface run as fast as the stream through a valley.

Battery Capacity
With so many things on board to perform with, the juice on the tablet should be as good as its other features. But, don’t you worry! Cause Asus zenpad 3S 10 has also covered this aspect easily for you. The mainframe battery comes with a gargantuan size of 7800 mAh which also comes accompanied with Quick charge 3.0 which only makes the job much easier to fill up the enormous battery to the brim as fast as possible.

Camera

The main off put off many tablets has been the degrading quality of the camera. It has been a rising issue with Apple iPad. But it does not seem much of a worry to Asus zenpad 3S 10 becomes it comes with decent cameras of 8 Megapixel in the back and 5 Megapixel at the front. The rear camera is good in low light as well as optically stabilized. The front camera churns out beautiful selfies. However, the giant size of the tablet makes it a little less friendly for clicking selfies with it.

Network
This tablet is also equipped with 4G LTE network which can also support your jio Sims! (it costs now)

Overall, value for money!!

Travel Tips

Click pictures from your smartphone like a pro in few easy tips

Before the era of the smart phones dawned upon us, there were cameras. In order to take a picture, a good one to be more precise, it was required to have a good knowledge of the complicated camera functions. But once the smartphones arrived in our lives, they took away the need to capture the beautiful moments of life in the cameras. Still clicking good pictures from your smartphone is not everyone’s cup of tea. You need to be a pro at it!!

Below are a few tips that could come in handy if you want to be one of those smartphone photographers.

Use Grid lines- One of easiest ways to get perfectly balanced shot is to use the grid options effectively. The grid lines form 9 little boxes on the screen and you need to balance them effectively using the ‘rule of thirds’, usually used in the professional photography. If you place the points of interests within the boxes, the image will be better to look at and well balanced.

Focus on one subject- Usually; the photographs taken from the phone have just one subject that you want to click. Take some time in balancing the focus on that particular subject and keep a sharp focus on that point until you press the capture button.

Editing- Editing is necessary. More often than not, the framing gets weird and you end up including some things in your photo unintentionally. Use the editor effectively in order to crop out the unwanted portion of the picture or to give the clicked image a sharper edge.

Love the negative space- The negative space in a picture is that particular area that doesn’t serve any special purpose to the image, such as a clear sky in the background, or a wide landscape. However, using a negative space effectively can make the image look professional of the highest degree.

Play with angles- Playing with the different point of views can be a lot of fun and it can give your image a distinct edge. As most of the images taken from a smartphone are either straight angled or bird’s view, using some unexpected angle can be a great display of your talent as a photographer. However, in case you have gone quite overboard with that one, there always are the ways to fix that in the edit.

Reflections- There is something artistic about including reflections in your photograph. Just make your subject stand on the bank of a lake and click a well-balanced photograph equally giving enough space in the final image to the real subject and the reflection. You will know what it can do to your image.

Color blocking- How great it looks when the entire image is in black and white except for one object. Although this could only be done during the editing, but the effect is extremely crazy looking and gives your photograph a wicked but beautiful charm.

The journey to become a smartphone photographer is long but worth it!

Vegetarian Food trails in Mumbai 

Finding some really iconic vegetarian food spots is more difficult than breaking Da Vinci Codes in western countries. However, if it is about India then you have got more than you can count in your smart zippy calculators. Touted as the economic city of India, the city of dreams Mumbai also has a rich cultural flavor that fails to die even today. It is revered for its temples, rituals, and, more importantly, vegetarian food. From signature vada pav to exploding colorful pohas, Mumbai beats other cities of India with its vegetarian delicacies.We bring you the best vegetarian food trails in Mumbai right away. Here we go:

Shree Thaker Bhojanalay at Kalbadevi

It is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Mumbai that can even serve Hulks without breaking a single drop of sweat. They bring in so much food on your platter that by the time you are done looking what you have got you feel full.

They serve you four types of Indian bread, five types of Indian sweet dishes, curries, sauces, veggies, salads, pickles, yogurt, rice, and everything vegetarian Mumbai has under the sky. Remember; visit this restaurant only on empty stomach.

Cannon at Churchgate

Pav Bhaji is the second most popular Maharashtrian dish after Vada Pav. You can easily find it at every corner of Mumbai city. But not all of them serve them as delicious as Cannon at Churchgate. Soft mouth-melting buns with some really spicy Indian veggies, onions, green chilies, and loads of butter, the bite just explodes in your mouth. Best value at the best price and the best taste.

Khau Gali at Churchgate

After Cannon at Churchgate station, it is now turn of Khau Gali in the same area. This place bustles with loads of other tourists from other parts of India. On the both sides are eateries serving some of the best Indian street dishes at very affordable prices. From sandwiches to vada pav to sugarcane juice, this place is like a small food fair.

Kyani & Co at Marine Lines

No food experience is complete without an authentic Parsi food in Mumbai. And one of the best ways to explore the delicacies is Kyani & Co located in the heart of Marine Lines from over a century now.

Its pastries are incredible and so as mava cake with loads of dry fruits. Irani tea is outstandingly exotic. One word—out of the world.

Prakahsh restaurant at Dadar

This is not one of the plushest restaurants on the list. It is small and unnoticeable to some extent in the heart of beautiful Dadar. But its food is just more than delicious.

Thalipith, Kothimber Wadi, Misal, Bharli Wangi, Sabudana Wada, Solkadh, and Piyush are some of the delicacies served on the menu.

Mumbai is not just about Bollywood, it has its own spiritual soul that reflects in its cultural amalgam and unforgettable food trails.

An offbeat guide that proves Goa is much more than beaches

What comes to your mind as you first think of Goa? Golden sandy beaches, swaying coconut trees along the beach coast, a horde of hippies sitting on some rock on a beachside singing and dancing as if no one’s there to judge them. Well, there is a lot more to Goa unless you have explored it.

Old world charm of Portuguese architecture

Goa is a true blend of Eastern Indian culture and western Portuguese world, and the Portuguese colonies with some unique architecture is a true example of it. Some other major examples of it are Se Cathedral, Basilica of Bom Jesus and Our Lady of The Immaculate Conception Church. If you are an art connoisseur then make sure to visit these places to capture the true essence of the art.

A ride through the backwaters of Chapora river

You don’t have to go far south to Kerala to experience the house boat rides. Take a ride along the rustic beauty of Goa through the backwaters of Chapora on a houseboat. There is a lot more to feel in the solitariness of nature along with your loved one.

A journey to the Divar Island

Divar in Konkani stands for small. Divar Island is a small historical island that is located between River Mandovi and the Arabian Sea. Once a prominent Hindu pilgrimage center, today the island is an important symbol of Catholicism. The one and the only way to reach the island is by ferries. So, enjoy your ferry ride.

Experience the authentic flavors of Goan cuisine

One important charm of Goa is its delectable Goan cuisine. Seafood, fish curry and rice are the chief food of Goans. The food here is usually chili hot, spicy, and pungent. A lot of dishes are made from rice, fish, and coconut.

Take a spice tour

A tour through the spice plantations of Goa gives you a better insight into the daily life of a common man. Take a walk into this green paradise with fresh spices around. Pick up fresh, pure spices for your kitchen from the farm. You can even taste these exotic spices in a fresh lunch that are served to the guests on a tour. A visit during monsoon is a must as rains enhance the beauty of these plantations.

Heritage walk through the old quarters

Old quarters or Fountain has areas of Panjim are an important highlight in the city of Goa. This is the only part of the city, where Portuguese is the main spoken language of the locals. As you stroll along the streets of this old heritage you will find wishing wells next to every old cafe and bakery. The houses here are painted in vibrant colors which altogether makes you feel as if you are in a different land.

Saturday night market

Every Saturday from 6 pm till late night a sprawling market is set in the Airport region.The story that goes around this market is like about ten years ago, a German man conceived this idea to take a land on lease and start the market. When the lease ended, the goats decided to continue this market but throw away the foreigner. And since then, this market has been blooming. From spices, teas, Kashmiri carpets and silver jewelry to international designer stuff, you will find everything here.

Temples in Goa

 Goa might be home to beautiful centuries-old churches, but there is more to be explored. This beach state is also home to some really enchanting temples. Some splendid ones are Shri Saptakoteshwar temple, Maruti temple, Shri Mahadeva temple, Shri Damodar temple, Mahalaxmi temple and Sri Mahalsa temple which are prominent places of worship for the Hindus and must be visited.

While the tourists flock the beaches to catch the sun, But there is another side to the place, an offbeat Goa if you will, that remains unexplored. If you are one of those who can dance the night away, and love to experience adventures such as taking out your fishing pole and waiting for the fish to catch the bait! then there is something that the two of you could enjoy beyond the beaches of Goa.

“Matheran” Excellent idea to Hang Out!!

Maharashtra is one of the most happening states in the country, and we don’t mean it by the tourism point of view. Of course, there are some places which are tourist’s delight, but they aren’t in abundance. Once such place is Matheran, which is closest to the state capital Mumbai. Located in the arms of the great Sahyadri hills, Matheran offers some great visuals worth savoring.

How to reach there

Reaching here is no big a task. A Karjat bound local train will bring you here. As the motor cars are banned, you may have to find a parking spot somewhere else to park your car and then you can walk barefoot to Matheran. The entry ticket for the adults is INR 40 while the minors can get in at half of that amount.

However, there is one thing where the place serves as a great example for the rest of the country, any kind of motor vehicles are banned here completely. This step was taken in order to keep the place as pollution-free as possible. And the result shows, the air smells the best, the green is really green and the sky seems bluer than ever. There are talks about making some other places in the country to make them the same way as Matheran.

About the place, Matheran is a picturesque valley full of natural beauty which happens to be present here in abundance. People say that almost all the points of this beautiful place are visually stunning; at every point, you can get a great view of the sunrise, the sunset, and the photogenic valleys. A walk, rickshaw or a horseback ride, choose whatever, the experience will be far better than you must have imagined. However, one thing that must be kept in mind is that most of the best places where you would want to see the sunrise and the sunset will be crowded almost all the time. There will be aggressive monkeys that are known as great thieves. Watch out for them as they keep lurking around some corner waiting to get a chance to snatch some food and eateries.

Some of the most popular sites in Matheran are the Lake Charlotte, where a magnificent waterfall overflows from the lake. Other best places to visit in Matheran are Louisa Point, Charlotte Lake, Porcupine Point (Sunset Point), Panorama Point, Alexander Point, Echo Point, Prabal Fort and many more others.

Charlotte Lake is a serene scenic spot and a prominent lake in Matheran. This lake is the prime source of the supply of water to the Matheran region. With the truly mesmerizing waterfalls that spill out around the Lake during the monsoon season, the lake becomes a splendid site to explore.

The central bazaar is one of the most interesting places to shop for all those who want a taste of the local culture. There are plentiful little shops in the Central Bazaar loaded with stuff such as leather goods, hats, footwear and the very ambrosial sweet ‘chikki’ – which is a key attraction here.

For the adventurous trekkers, Matheran is a pure indulgence. There are manifold trekking routes to Matheran, the most famous being the one through the Garbett Plateau.
