There are muddy roads; concrete roads; no road; stairs to climb; rivers & bridges to cross; hills to trek; interesting souls on the way; at times nobody; sunny days; cloudy sky; dark nights & cheerful mornings.

The Jog Falls
The Jog Falls, one of the most beautiful & the second highest plunge waterfall in India is tucked away in the dense evergreen forest of the Western ghats of northern Karnataka in India.
This is where river Sharavati takes a plunge from a height of 830 feet. The waterfall has four distinct cascades called Raja, Rani, Roarer & Rocket.
The best time to visit this place is during the monsoon season, from June to September when each cascade has sufficient water surrounded by plenty of greenery & beauty of the season.
This place is around 10 hours drive from Bengaluru, the capital city of Karnataka. Some of the well known tourist spots around this waterfall are Tyavarekoppa Lion & Tiger Reserve & an offbeat island called Honnemaredu.

Hyderabad's Spanish Mosque
The beautiful treasures of Hyderabad in India continue to amaze me till date. Visited this mosque last evening.
We were given a warm welcome by Aurangzeb & he shared some interesting facts about this place. But on reaching home, I found to my dismay that only a part of the conversation has been recorded....very unfortunate.
Now coming back to this beautiful structure, it is popularly known as the Spanish Mosque - truly an eye catcher with its intricate mouldings & gilded minarets.
The mosque inspired by Moorish architecture in Spain was commissioned by Paigah noble, Sir Vikar-Ul-Umra Iqbal-Ud-Dowla in 1906. I must mention here that Paigah is a family in the senior aristocracy of Hyderabad State who were associated with the ruling Nizam since its inception.
There is a prayer hall. It is interesting to note that the calligraphy on the walls is in Turkish instead of the usual Arabic. The pedestal for the priest along with a bookshelf resembles those of a church.
On one side of the Mosque lies the graves of the members of the Paigah family.
Considered to be one of the most beautiful & unusual mosques in India.
See you soon 🤗
Reflecting on this year, I’m filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and pride. This year has been a tapestry of remarkable experiences, pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone and reshaping my life in profound ways.
My journey through the United States for three months was nothing short of transformative. It wasn’t just about exploring new landscapes or savoring diverse cultures; it was a voyage that sculpted my perspective and opened my eyes to the vastness of the world.
Returning home to Italy marked the beginning of a new chapter—a life change that I embraced wholeheartedly. Amidst the familiar streets and beloved traditions, I found the courage to challenge myself, breaking free from the confines of routine and embracing change with open arms.
Amidst this whirlwind, I’ve achieved milestones that once seemed distant. From personal growth to professional accomplishments, each success stands as a testament to my resilience and unwavering dedication.
This year has been a mosaic of lessons, teaching me the beauty of embracing change and the richness of new experiences. It’s a celebration of resilience, adaptability, and the sheer joy of conquering challenges.
So, let’s raise a toast to the journey, the learnings, and the accomplishments. Let’s honor the courage it took to step into the unknown and the determination that fueled our successes. And may this year’s triumphs be the stepping stones to a future filled with even more remarkable achievements.
Thank you 2023 💙
sydney, november 2024 🐨
such a beautiful city! definitely warmer compared to melbourne. we weren't really able explore so much of their cbd as we spent most of our time around the opera house & harbour bridge. things i've noticed: two-story trains, still lots of apartments even those further away from the city, and quite a bit of litter.
on the second day, we took a day trip to scenic world to see the blue mountains + ride the world's steepest train. after that, we went back to our airbnb to take a quick nap before heading to coldplay's concert — the main reason we had to fly to sydney.
unfortunately, it rained during our last day. we just had brunch, caught a glimpse of the cruise that was waiting for its passengers, then went straight to the airport to catch our flight back to melbourne. ✈️
