The pictures and the personal touch to this blog will make you read it all at once and feel like you’ve heard it from a friend. He talks about exploring the portuguese roots of Goa and celebrating his Christmas there and then further moving on to exploring the lanes of New and Old Delhi and the good old Taj Mahal.
