Vacationing at home!

Even though I love traveling, seeing new places and meeting new people, I still think coming home to Mysore is the BEST vacation one can take ever! :)

This trip has been fantastic... Emotional in many ways... A lot of memories re-surfaced and all of them good.

I remembered the trips I used to make with my mom to Sayyaji Rao Road and DD Urs Road. :)
I remembered the movies with my friends... and as always, I missed my friend V a lot.
The good thing was I chatted with him yesterday night! :)

I remembered the fun times I have had with my sister, her visits to the dentist, me picking her up from school and college...
I remembered fondly the times I have spent with my husband here when we were in college, when we were working together...

All pleasant memories which has made sure that my smile stays firmly in place!! :)

I still have 1 more day here, it's always less. The trips always leave me unsatisfied and wanting more time with my folks, in Mysore...

Monday morning, we return back to Bangalore. Back to our daily routine of office and domesticity...

It's been good this time and the 4 days have passed very quickly. But, office and the other world of politics, domesticity, unconnected friends await from Tuesday...
With times like this at home, it makes it easier to tackle things, to remember that nothing is as serious in nature as it seems...

And that troubles always vanish when we stand up and face it.

So, what is your favorite vacation spot? And you fondest memory of home?

And Domestic means reality - I agree!!

Bappi Da's voice?!!!!!!

Hehehehe!!!
He does sing kind of well though, don't you think?!!

Anonymous said...

Some of Bhappi da's songs are really sooper... his voice is original....

I like his songs too !!!!

Reality is so boring !! aint it...

Africa sounds so so exotic !!

Pixie said...

African jungles... vacationing there - completely exotic!! :D

And Bappi's songs are on a level by themselves! :)
But, with all his Gold jewelery, he reminds me of a Light Bulb!! :D :D

Mysoreans HAVE to love Mysore! I'm not one so I don't know... But a few I know and are obsessed about the place! :)
It's so awesome when such tiny memories are re-lived!
