People might have diverse ideas around year-end vacation plans like booking a farmhouse away from the hustle bustle of the city life or shack near a beach side destination like Goa or may be going to a remote no network/WiFi place with a loved one and many more. But just imagine spending this time in a cruise where you are just passing time relaxing in a balcony sea facing cabin, tasting lip smacking food, performances by renowned dancers around the world, standing on the reeling and watching the huge ocean and the list goes on and on. Vow isn’t it? I got a chance to experience these vow moments last year. I was so busy with my work the entire year to decide on my year-end vacation plans that it was almost November end when I actually started thinking where to go. All the package tours and flights were full to the most happening destinations around this important time of the year. So while I was sitting saddened at home, my dad suggested why don’t you try this "New year with Cos

Hyderabad city doesn’t need any introduction - Capital city of Telangana, also known as the Pearl City of India due to obvious reasons and yet another technology hub of India. I was fortunate enough to visit this city in Feb this year on my official travel. Our official work was for 2 days, which luckily happened to fall on Thursday and Friday.

This city has a fascinating history dating back thousands of years packed with reminders of its former division during the cold war era, which saw East Berlin controlled by the Soviet Union and West Berlin under American, French and British control. You can immerse yourself in Berlin’s past as you pass through the museums and memorials in this city. On the other side, you will also get smitten with the cool urban vibe of the city with the amazing street arts, sidewalk cafes and lots of Beer J (Yes. Drinking beer in public places is legal here). We planned this trip for a weekend and booked train tickets from Amsterdam to Berlin. The travel duration is 4.5 hours. We started on Friday evening and decided to return on Sunday night. Travelling in Europe is incomplete if you do not stay in hostels where you will get to meet and interact with fellow travelers/backpackers. Hence, we decided
