The Nile Cruise was one of the most beautiful and The Nile Cruise was one of the most beautiful and soul enriching experience The wonderful cruise boat sailing smoothly along the benevolent Nile is an experience to cherish. The clear blue sky expanding our horizons, the warm sunshine enriching the soul, the cool breezy winds caressing the skin, the beautiful landscape inspiring us, the green Nile plateau and brown desert mountains fuelling our imagination, the Azaan prayers from distant mosque calming us - indeed one of the finest experiences. Our Nile river cruise journey of three days commenced at Aswan and concluded at Luxor with stops at various amazing temples and world heritage sites. The natural landscapes, the small Egyptian villages along the river, the majestic sunrises and sunsets, the amazing vegetarian food and the friendly staff - each moment on cruise was memorable. Sitting on the deck of the cruise as it sailed the Nile river was soothing - Just be there, just relax, just chill and enjoy the tranquility! Just enjoying the views! Just cherishing the sunshine! Just relishing the stars! The Nile river cruise was also a digital detox for everyone. We spent a lot of time on interesting and mundane conversations - the best part was the reverse mentoring. We painted, we read, we danced, we chatted, we relaxed, we meditated, we swam, we exercised and we lived! We enjoyed the moments and we were fully present! And we made new friends in Brazil, Germany and Taiwan! Indeed, the Nile Cruise was totally meditative, totally relaxing, totally spiritual - Truly loved it! #egypt #eternalegypt #travel #nile #nilecruise #wondersoftheworld #egypttravel #wanderlust #soulfuel #musafir #safarnaama #musafirhoonyaaron #worldtraveler #travelgram #instatravel #instagood #travelphotography #travelstory #aswan #luxor #travelfriends #newfriends #edfu #sunshine #happiness

Barzakh Review: Visually Stunning & Refreshingly A Barzakh Review: Visually Stunning & Refreshingly Artistic Mystical Barzakh means a place in-between. The stage between death and resurrection. The kingdom between paradise and hell. Barzakh series is stuck between perfection and promise! Barzakh is an ambitious web series of love, longing and loss from across the border. Beautifully composed on a canvas, awesomely shot in beautiful locales and an outstanding ensemble cast with superlative performances - Barzakh is wonderfully designed. A super wealth patriarch Jafar invites his estranged sons for his third marriage to his first love Mahtab. It is just that Mahtab is dead, and Jafar believes she will meet him on the other side. His two sons have a difficult relationship with him while the villagers demand access to atrium of his palatial ‘Land Of Nowhere’ house. Strained family ties, postpartum depression, challenges of caregiving, parenting issues, mental health, toxic patriarchy - all topics are showcased by rich characters. All this in the backdrop of red-draped fairies, pink souls with baggage, special girl and other supernatural themes. Loved the Gibran Rumi type quotes, breathtaking Hunza valley, carefully crafted visuals and metaphor rich depictions. And of course, the superlative acting of the terrific trio of Fawad Khan, Sanam Saeed and Salman Shahid! The Zindagi Gulzar Hai pair is adorable. Yet, inspite of all its positives, it fails to make an impact and achieve its true potential - perhaps it is trying to achieve too much. Barzakh is intelligent, brave, unique and highly creative. It grows on you and will stay with you - not every series can claim that! Watch it with loads of patience! Note: Our friends in Pakistan are not able to watch the series as it has been banned in the country. #barzakh #barzakhreview #barzakhwebseries #newreleases #fawadkhan #pakseres #zee5 #drama #love #supernatural #happiness #sunshine #soul #life #death
Egypt is one of the oldest, most powerful and long Egypt is one of the oldest, most powerful and long-lasting civilisations! Egypt was one of the top travel bucket list items. Thanks to our history teachers and Nat Geo, Egypt including its Pyramids, Mummies, Nile, and Pharaoh Tutankhamun treasures have always featured high on the priority list. First things first - Let’s start with the Pyramids! Love at first sight! One of the original seven wonders of the world and the only surviving one today - these are nothing but architectural and engineering marvels. Bereft of any technological tools, modern excavators, IOT sensors, mapping techniques and data visualisations, Egyptians used ingenious ways to build the mighty pyramids. The pyramids have withstood the test of times - including being the tallest structure for almost 4000 years. WOW! Just WOW! Watch out for the further details and experiences from the Egypt Exploration in the travelogue - Egypt : Enchanting & Exhilarating Eternal Emotion! #egypt #eternalegypt #travel #pyramids #gizapyramids #wondersoftheworld #egypttravel #wanderlust #soulfuel #musafir #safarnaama #musafirhoonyaaron #worldtraveler #travelgram #instatravel #instagood #travelphotography #travelstory #cairo #sunshine #happiness #bucketlist

An amazing addition to the culinary landscape of A An amazing addition to the culinary landscape of Ahmedabad Ahmedabad is a foodie’s paradise with a vibrant mix of traditional and chic cuisine! The city’s artistic chef and entrepreneur community keeps innovating and indulging in the never ending apetite for unique food experiences. The latest addition is Peppers S G Road - the very popular and loved restaurant of Anand Heena Thakkar - the man behind Kaffa & Legends of Punjab! He and Karan Upadhyay bring the restaurant to the Sindhu Bhavan - the lively food district of Ahmedabad. I had the great opportunity to explore the classic and novel offerings of Peppers: - The outstanding Broccoli Cheddar Soup which is served in the bread bowl - The Hot Veg Tempura Sushi - The Special Veg Tempura Sushi - The Fire Cracker Dim Sum lived upto its name - Indeed a cracker! - Paneer Tikka / Kofta / Dhabe Wali Dal / Garlic Naan - Trust Peppers for lip smacking Punju food While I always have a bias for good food and humane hospitality, the experience was extra sweet due to the dessert duo Reitu & Sanjay @peppersbypepperazzi @anandthakkar27 @kay.karan12 @dr.reitupatel @sanjay.elegance #foodie #foodieahmedabad #foodaholic #foodporn #peppers #newrestaurant
