Cancun 2017

This post is dedicated to Ashi and Rose as my thanks for opening the thread in my absence in March, 2017. Here's some pictures from our family trip to Cancun, Mexico. 
All pictures have been taken by my very talented husband with a point and shoot camera (which was supposed to be the camera I was going to use, but I ended up with just my cell phone camera) since he broke his expensive Nikon DSLR the very next day we reached Cancun. But fortunately we managed to get it fixed for free. So hopefully we will have better picture to share from our upcoming trips. 

 Our Hotel...

At Night...


Swimming Pool...


Spanish Church in Valladolid..



Chichen-Itza - the heart of Mayan Culture...




One of the many Cenotes which are underground mineral pools that have formed naturally...



This was just a tiny portion of the dessert counter that was served every day. And everything was free. You can guess how much dessert I ate with every meal... 

The Mexican Peninsula...

      It is very beautiful. I love going to resorts. Although that's not something my husband prefers. However, definitely worth going at least once. 😊

    Hope you had a good time there. Looks like a good place to visit indeed.

    More than the place, I am in awe with your husband's photography skills. I mean the angles, light, focus are all perfectly balanced in the photographs and these photographs have enhanced the beauty of the place.

      Thank you. Photography is my husband's passion. So all my pictures are also taken by him. I have got in-house photographer. Lol... He used this camera here since he broke his expensive DSLR the very next day. > http://www.getolympus.com/ca/en/digitalcameras/tough/tg-4.html

      You indeed have an in-house photographer. Your husband can def. pursue a career in photography.

      Lol, we men are clumsy when it comes to gadgets.

    Such a beautiful place, I used to watch some mexican telenovelas so I know about the beauty of Mexico and Cancun is one of their most beautiful touristic cities, they also have wonderful nature in the countryside. It's on my destinations list. I hope you enjoyed your stay there

      We enjoyed the resort and family time. But my husband prefers more local experience which we didn't have much of being in a resort. But there are a lot of touristy stuff to do. If you don't have kids with you, then there are even more options available to do. If you like all inclusive resort, the one we went to was amazing. http://www.sandos.com/hotel-cancun-in-cancun.htm The food was great as well and the stuff were never pushy about tips or anything. Highly recommended.

      Ya it looks really beautiful. I also like along with relaxation and activities to have a local experience, their culture is very rich, so I'd like to discover more about it

      There is a bus that runs every 2 minutes every day through the resort strip of Cancun. It costs $1 (or 11 pesos) for tickets. The local market and experience (not the touristy stuff) is about 30-40 mins bus ride out of the resort strip. If you go there, do check out Mercado 28 for local handmade products. We bought a beautiful original handmade show piece there. These are one of a kind art, not mass produced stuff. Enjoy.

Tia's Thread: Oops I did it again...

Today's I will start with a fictional character who has impressed the hell out of me. Read this article.  10 Reasons Why Amarendra Bahubali Is The Ideal Husband Every Girl In 21st Century Needs So since there is a prime example of manhood who are from those rare honourable gentlemen whose word is their bond, a man who stands up for the right thing regardless of who is on the wrong side, a man who loves and respects his mother but doesn't let her insult a woman (any woman), a man who also loves his wife and respects her intelligence, a man any woman would be proud to call a son, a brother, a lover, a husband and/or a father - there isn't much left to say for the TV leads we keep seeing on screen. Now, don't get me wrong. I can understand that not everyone can be perfection incarnated. And I don't mind flawed human beings. But I want to see either redemption if their flaws are harmful, or them learning from past mistakes or them facing the consequences...

Tia's Thread - Motherhood!!!

Image
Today I am making post on Motherhood since Sunday is Mother’s Day. Now, motherhood is an amazing thing. When a woman becomes a mother, she immediate devotes herself to her baby. The pain of labour instantly becomes forgotten holding the tiny bundle of joy whom she only felt within her, but didn’t meet until now. There are many mothers in the world who are making their child’s life filled with joy, love and laughter each day. There are also mothers who open their arms, heart and home for someone else's child. With such mothers, you always know that you have a place called home. So today let me tell you a story of such two mothers. They lived far away from each other. They had nothing in common. Their language was different, cultures were different, lifestyles were different and the world they lived in was different. One had a little blond haired, blue eyed baby boy. Let’s call her Mamma O. And the other Mother had a dark brown haired, deep brown eyed baby g...

Home Grown Terrorism!!!

Before I write this post, I'd like to warn that this is a very controversial topic. But since this is what's going on in India, I'd like to share what it looks like to me. The whole world hates ISIS today. Why? They are terrorists. They don't believe in democracy. If anyone dares to speak against them, they issue death threats and carries them out. They don't want to listen to any opinion other than what they think is right.  Now let's take a look at so-called Rajput Karni Sena who is issuing violent threats left, right and centre. Do they believe in democracy? I don't think so.  How can any group issue open physical threat to another human being in a democratic country without being branded as terrorist? Are they issuing death threats and physical violence against Indian citizens? Yes. Were they threatened first physically? No. Is it anyway justifiable? Hell no. Is that legal in India? I don't think so. Or at least it should not be in ...
