Have you seen the different shades of the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea? Serene. Did you go sailing with your close friends?

Did you sit by the rocks gazing at the midnight sun in Norway? You always wished that lovely sunset to never go away. And now here your secret desire is fulfilled for a few months atleast.

You must have surely camped out on a quiet night in the arctic islands of Canada? Seen the aurora borealis? Those natural light displays in the sky. In whose glow you feel the divine rhythm.

What was your experience like when you went on the Serengeti Safari? What is it like when you witness perhaps the largest and longest overland migration in the world? The place where land runs on forever. How many photographs did you get? The swiftest of gazelles. The striped wonders, the zebras. That exciting chase of the prey by the leopards. And the lovely Serengeti sunset ofcourse. A place on Earth where it is still the morning of life as they say...

Can you describe the magic of the Angel Falls? The mist. The canoe and hammock experience. Those dense jungles. And the amazing flora and fauna. And the sight to behold.

Could you figure out the myriad formations in the Grand Canyon? How was the aerial view? Breathtaking. Even bizarre. Vast expanses of land. And what about that Grandview? Did the rocks speak to you?

Did you feel at peace with yourself when you went up to see the snow clad peaks of the Himalayas? The abode of the mighty rivers. Ages passing by. Yet, they stand. As old as old can be.

The peak of His mercy...

Did you and your sweetheart take part in the ritual grape crushing? Those elegant vineyards of France. Holding each other's hands. Enjoying the harvest. Stepping on those ripe fruits of labor.

Dinner in the vineyards by the moonlight. Vintage romance...
