7 Summer must haves while travelling

Monday, 7 April 2014


Summer is back! You may want to hide indoors, away from the scorching heat. But, Trust me it’s time to get out and make the most of the season. Let the warm sun soak into your skin. 
To keep up with the rising temperature, here is a list of the must haves while on a summer trip.

1. Plenty of water & energy drinks- The heat is sure to soak out your energy. This can be a real turn-off for as you lose out on all the enthusiasm. Don’t let the heat ruin your trip. Keep sipping on chilled water or energy drinks to stay hydrated. Keep all that energy going!

2. Sunscreen lotion- Carry your sunscreen lotion everywhere you go. You defiantly do not want to get tanned completely. Make sure the cream is perfect for your skin or else you will feel like a melted ice cream. Sunscreen lotion is a must have to protect your skin.

3. Comfortable clothing- Opting for cotton outfits would be the best. It’s time to wear those shorts with some funky tees. Wearing the right shoes is a must as your feet tend sore easily during summers. Flip flops or airy sandals would be best. Be comfy and stay stylish!

4. Sunglasses- Protect your eyes from the harsh rays of the sun. Moreover, sunglasses look cool and help you look around easily without straining. Sunglasses are a must!

5. Caps, scarfs & umbrellas- You may find it annoying at times, but, trust me they can be quite a life saver. Protect your head from direct sunlight which is sure to make it burning hot. Caps, scarfs & umbrellas will maintain your body temperature when it gets too hot. Stay cool, Stay calm!

6. Fruits and yogurtMunching on some fruits or having yogurt will reduce your body temperature immediately. So, whenever you feel the heats getting too much, have some fresh fruits like watermelon to feel cool. Perhaps, you can also try some flavored yogurt smoothies. ;)

7. Hand towels- Hello! Its summer and its sure to be sweaty and sticky. Make sure you carry hand towels cause you don’t want to be wiping your sweat on your clothes. To freshen up, splash some cool water on your face from time to time & use the hand towel to wipe gently. It works wonders and you will feel fresh instantly!




Church Hill

Monday, 30 September 2013



On a lazy Sunday evening, pick up your bike keys and set off for a long ride. The roads may be smooth yet its better to keep a close eye on the potholes. Fresh breezy air that passes through your skin as you zoom. A sense of freedom rushes through your veins. 

    This time, its a visit to an ancient church on the hill. Holy Cross Church- This church was built in 1558 and was destroyed in 1739 after the Marathas took over the Arnala fort. The church had to move its services to the west of Mote Talav. Christians from Gaas, Bhuigaon, Nirmal used to offer all religious rites in this place for more than 125 years. It was only after the initiatives taken by Father Pedre Paulo Derjaro that in 1853 a settlement was made with the local Hindu chiefs and the destroyed church was rebuilt. It was inaugurated in 1856 also marking the third centenary year of this religious district. The long line of footsteps have a magnetic pull as you walk. Silence fills the church as you sit alone. Everything you speak is just between you and God. Peaceful & utmost experience of serenity.  

   Again you're off on the winding roads that have smooth turns. Riding around the town once in a while is definitely a must, especially when the climate is cool.
