Phuket, Thailand

After much deliberation, reading through scores of holiday recommendations and signing up for travel offers, we finally decided to make Phuket our honeymoon destination.

Chennai, Tamilnadu

The beautiful city of Madras always reminds me of old friends and old times. I still love calling its first name which lends character to its old world charm.
