Welcome to my Rainbow Diary

Travel, Stories and Anecdotes

Why have a I chosen Rainbow Diary? Well, I love colors (who doesn’t). I feel colours of the rainbow portray a myriad of emotions. The sunlight pushing through the clouds, a raindrop shivering on the leaf, the joyous tweeter of the birds, even the buzzing, droning and whizzing of all those scary looking insects which come out of their hiding place after a good shower from the skies reflects the many moods of the nature. I too, intend to log in my thoughts in this diary through anecdotes, articles, stories…..maybe just pictures of places, people and things. I hope some of you will join me in this journey of chasing the rainbow.

It blooms in the night and closes up at dawn. It’s the state flower of my province. I hope it gives asContinue reading “Night Flower”

A village without Roads: Giethoorn

Netherlands is a land of waterways especially canals, cycling tracks (as the land is mostly flat), museums (most famous one being the Van Gogh Museum), windmills and the tulips. Our trips to Netherlands (as my son was studying for his master’s degree in Delft, we visited the country quite a few times) have always thrownContinue reading “A village without Roads: Giethoorn”
