            From restricted gatherings to frequently sanitizing hands, covid has forced many protocols. The same restrictions gave a big blow to the tourism industry. Travelers chose confining to homes over the wonderful experiences a relaxed vacation can offer. I try to go on a trip covering popular destinations at least once a year. I planned a trip to Ladakh in 2020, Covid first wave washed it away. I planned it again in 2021, this time Covid second wave squashed it. Now, with covid cases at all time low in India, I dared to go on a vacation. I have been hearing about a pleasant atmosphere Dindi resorts have been offering from 3-4 years. We chose that place as the number of days one of my friends could spare for a trip is only two.

Turning 30 is a big deal in USA, at least according to the episode “The One They All Turn 30” in the blockbuster sitcom, Friends. But it is just another birthday in India.

The rain would have received maximum curses two days ago for washing out a day in the world test championship final between India and New Zealand. Fans have been eagerly waiting to witness a classy and competitive clash between the top two test teams. All believed that consistent rain would push the match towards a draw. Couple of days before the match, a interesting point of view on which team has gathered maximum support for this match caught my attention. One cricket expert said, India might have got many fans due to its massive population but New Zealand has an edge in terms of the number of supporters. Because every fan in every cricketing has New Zealand as their second favorite team. We all love Kane Williamson, Brendon McCullum, Trent Boult, Shane Bond, Ross Taylor and many players. These people remind us that cricket is a gentleman's game with the way they carry themselves. Losing temper, which is common for teams such as Australia and Pakistan, is totally unfamiliar for t
