What lies beneath!

Snorkeling in Tarkarli, Sri Lanka and Thailand opened up a whole new world, beneath the surface. As we snorkeled we realized the less noise we made and the more still we remained, the more the fish came closer to us. A kaleidoscope of fish seemed to brush past us and even some of the more rare ones came out of hiding from the rock crevices. A truly awesome sight. It dawned on us that unless you regularly pause from your hectic schedules and quietly listen to each other or just enjoy calm moments together, the little wonders and simple joys of life will just pass you by.

Life's an adventure

Battling -4 degrees of icy Himalyan winds, dangling over a cliff and peeping beneath the ocean, are few of the adventures that have taught me a few secrets of managing relationships.

In the beginning of my courtship my wife, we wondered if our love would last forever. So we put it through an endurance test… a trek that would push us physically, mentally & emotionally to the limit. First to the base of the Kanchanjunga, in Sikkim and finally remote Arunachal Pradesh. Climbing 17 kms of steep rocky terrain each day for 5 days, -4 degrees of chilly winds (though sometimes our temperatures rose a bit) dried and tasteless food, no bathing and a hole in the ground for a loo. But we took this all in our stride. It taught us about sharing and caring in small ways and how to respect, encourage & support each other when the going got tough. We felt confident that we could take on the challenges of marriage and enjoy it’s blissful moments too.
