December is here and unlike the other years, I am in a full on reminiscences mode. So I asked myself- which picture would I pick if I had to pick only one picture from each of my trips! Now there was a problem with this concept. If I picked even just one picture from each of my trips, there would be 20 pictures in all! I decided to go easy and do it in batches of 5. So here I go, these were the first 5 trips in 2014.
Kutch, Gujarat (Personal Solo Trip)
It was very difficult to pick just one picture from the trip to Kutch because I have 963 pictures in all. I visited the Great Rann of Kutch on this trip with its white salt fields. Yet I went with this picture of the Mandavi Beach because in a way this is how I wish my vacations to be, golden sunlight on the beach with me lazing around! Only I always end up chasing pictures instead of lazing around.
Sariska (Personal Trip)
Sariska was one of the trips where I didn’t get many pictures worth showcasing. However, I did got the closest ever I could, to a peacock. It was easy picking up this picture as there were no serious rivals in this folder. The trip was special because I traveled with Chhavi.
Narkanda (Personal Solo Trip)
I went to Narkanda at the end of February all alone. It was one snow filled affair. With every passing day though, I wonder if it is wise to travel solo in India? And when I say solo, I mean traveling alone on my own, not when I am invited. On invited trips I have never ever felt unsafe. Let us see how I tackle solo traveling in 2015.
This was another trip where I feel I had only a few decent pictures, so it was not really difficult to pick this one.
Finland (with Nokia)
Levi in the Lapland region of Finland was a snow filled wonder beyond compare. The house you see was the Levi Spirit Villa where I stayed. I consider it to be the most luxurious accommodation I have ever stayed in, till date. It had its own Jacuzzi, Sauna and Home Theater among other things! It was not easy to pick just one picture from this trip as I had a crazy snowmobile experience as well but in the end I picked this one for the sheer luxury.
Udaipur (with Justa Resorts)
If you ever find yourself at Udaipur, do go to the Monsoon Palace at sunset. I was lucky that the sky put some extra drama but even without that, the view of the city is just gorgeous. Once again this was a trip that gave me many happy pictures but I absolutely adore the sunset ones and specially the one above.
So, which one did you like best?
Well I like them all so tough choice, but since only one can be picked then the Golden Slippers would be my personal favorite…
Thank you Prasad, that image got the post number of likes!
They are all good, but the first one is outstanding.
Thank you so much Lady Fi.
I like the first image – Golden Golden.
Thank you Tushar.
All the pictures are so good that It can be a great hurdle to pick out one specific . This matters should go to Indian government Cabinet , hahahaaaaaaaaaa , but Really First one picture from Kutch ( Gujrat ) is great and saying something.
Thank you so much Yogi!

Thank you so much Deepa.
Lovely pictures, all. Looking forward to seeing the rest.
You know what — I’ve NEVER seen a peacock with all it’s feathers up. Every time I see one, I hope to see that sight and it never happens. I think I’d better stop believing that they can do that. 😐 😀
It was the same with me for tigers. I almost came to a point when I thought they were a myth, till I saw one! 😀 Just wait.
My fav is the first image and the finland pic 🙂
Thank you 😀
I loved the pictures Mridula, absolute beauties each one of them. I guess my favourite has to be the beach one with slippers, kinda ethereal 🙂
Thank you so much Vinay. To me also it represents the perfect holiday mood!
I love the one in Finland!!! Living amidst the snow and the woods..and you captures it so well:)) nevertheless al the other ones are equally mesmerizing
Thank you Sonal, Finland was an amazing experience for me too, I have hardly ever seen such temperatures as -22!
