Dreaming of India

You know it’s time to dust off the travelling shoes and start planning the next trip when your favourite destination is popping up in your dreams.

The other night I was dreaming about being in India with my Indian family. In their home, in my Indian sisters room. Laughing together. Enjoying the sites and taking in the sounds. I really felt as if I was there! The best part, My mum was there too! She got to experience the country I love so much.

India is a country that engulfs you. You don’t see things in India, you feel them. You don’t smell the flowers, your senses are awoken. It really is a place that once experienced, never leaves you.

I cannot speak more highly of this incredibly diverse country and I cannot wait to get back there.

Some of my favourite things, that I truly miss right now:

• Sailing in Bombay in front of the magnificent Taj Mahal
• Tasting the sweetness of Gulab jamun
• Laughing with the people
• Thanking the people for their kindness, Dhan ya vad
• Cooling off with a Kulfi
• Sampling the spices of Goa
• Roaming the grounds of the Taj Mahal
• Late night Butter Chicken Roti Roll
• Dancing Bangra style at the Sangeet
• Smiling, laughing and crying tears of Joy!
• Wearing a Sari and feeling like a queen
• Eating amazing Lobster Curry at Apoorva
• Viewing Jaipur from the Amber Fort
• Patting an Elephant in the Streets of Agra
• Watching the Sunset over the Gateway of India, Mumbai
