A Romantic Weekend In Paris

The unrequited love, the unshattered glass ceiling, the invite-only soiree – Paris is well defined as the relationship adolescents pine for and the debauchery to which adults surrender. But no matter how the visuals play in the mind before that maiden visit – the experience leaves everyone feeling surreal while navigating the city. When myContinueContinue reading “A Romantic Weekend In Paris”

Discovering Baroque and Historic Salzburg

Salzburg – a version of unattainable utopia removed from our dystopian bustling cities has had its square deal in the books of history. Before there was Hollywood or The Sound of Music there was Salzburg steeped in history of art, culture and music. Contrary to the popular recommendation (and belief) my visit to Salzburg wasContinueContinue reading “Discovering Baroque and Historic Salzburg”

Road Trip & Rieslings Along The Meandering Mosel

Gliding steadily across borders from France to Luxembourg into Germany where it takes a meandering course and eases the valley into an luxurious pace of life is the Mosel. The Mosel river or Moselle (depending on the language of the country it runs through ) transfuses through the valley a sense of calm and tranquilityContinueContinue reading “Road Trip & Rieslings Along The Meandering Mosel”

Timeless Tale of The von Trapps

A few of my favorite things include watching that aerial shot high above the Alpine range panning closer to the ground with a crescendo that transitions to gently twirling Julie Andrews singing “the hills are alive with the sound of music”. Lets press pause on that for a moment and establish the fact that TheContinueContinue reading “Timeless Tale of The von Trapps”

European Cafes For Art Lovers

Without the waft of freshly brewed coffee, the rustling of notebook pages of a scribbler and constant sound of the colloquy in a baroque cafe it wouldn’t feel like being in Europe. The era of cafes in Europe originated during 1555 under the Ottoman Empire in Istanbul through coffee selling shop however, the culture that we imbibeContinueContinue reading “European Cafes For Art Lovers”

A Day with Shakespeare in Stratford-Upon-Avon

Comfortably cocooned in obscurity the little market town of Stratford in the Avon valley had very little to celebrate during the Tudor age. By the time Regency era dawned on England this town in Warwickshire county, was catching the attention of literary class and thespians. Oblivious to the fact that it will offer modern Britain’sContinueContinue reading “A Day with Shakespeare in Stratford-Upon-Avon”
