Niagara-A Once in a Lifetime Experience!!

There are so many things and places that etch permanently in our minds and hearts.One such marvelous place was the "Majestic Niagara".The beauty of Niagara is just the one of it's kind and there can't be anything synonymous to it.


American and Bridal Veil Falls
It was a short weekend trip to Niagara from the west to east coast of US and the travel from one coast of the vast country to another was crazy and tiring.The very sight of the wondrous Niagara made us completely forget the tiredness.No sooner do we enter the state park from the US of A side, did we see just the Niagara river flowing.Later did we realize that the same river just flows down the falls just next to us with great force as it becomes the American Falls.Next to American Falls is what we see the famous Bridal Veil Falls which is synonymous to the Veil of a Bride.It is a small fall, but a sight that captures our heart.



Horseshoe Falls

During the course of stroll while seeing this nature's beauty do we get to see the marvelous Rainbow bridge which connects US to Canada.The bridge is itself one of it's kind.There is always a Rainbow seen when travelled across the Bridge.Then further down do we get into the just amazing experience of the trip-The Maid of the Mist. The Ferry takes us across and near all the falls and when we reach the HorseShoe Falls, no words can appreciate the nature's very own beauty.The one of its own kind "Horseshoe Falls" comes down with great force and the mist is completely covered.With the ferry just a few meters away, water just falls over us giving us the real feeling of being a part of the Nature's beauty.


I did recall another amazing Jog Falls back home near Sagar of ShimogaDistrict,Karnataka, but the experience that we have in Niagara is something different than what we get in Jog.There are four different falls named Raja,Rani,Rocket and Rorer which falls from a very great height when compared to Niagara. But each fall of Niagara is so continuous and the breadth is more when compared to Jog Falls.

A lot of pictures were captured and the view of all the three falls were done from multiple heights and places and every vista point was a treat to the eye and heart.

PS: Please note that I have not compared any falls and this is just my view of the Falls as I have seen both the falls.

When the Happiest place became Merrier!!

Disney Land Castle of Dreams


As a small kid I always dreamt of  living with all those fantastic characters,
As a small little girl those fairy tales fascinated me;
As a young girl I dreamt about living those fairy tale characters myself,
As a big girl I again dreamt of that young prince from those fairy tale characters who would sweep me away by the magic of Love.

Yes and Yes..This was my second visit to the Happiest place on Earth. And this time I visited this when it had become more Merrier..

Still guessing and clueless about the magical place I am speaking about..Yes, here it is..It is all about the Disney Land that I am jotting about when the land had become more merrier than it was.

It was a dream come true when I stepped into this Magical Land-The Disney Land where Mickey and Minnie bestowed their warm welcome.This magical land has been divided into so many small lands that it takes more than two days to visit and enjoy.

We visited this land off late when the land had become more merrier.Guess when will this happiest place become merrier..?? It’s only during Christmas that this Happiest place gets more merrier.The parade in the evening shows all the dreamy characters go live that no two eyes are enough to live and feel the same.The parade opens up with Mickey and Minne followed by the Flying Elephant.Within minutes we can see Snowhite and Cindrella waking along with their handsome young prince’s.Then comes the Santa’s mail room which takes out all the possible names of those young kids who had written a mail to Santa and what not..Life just gets merrier more and more when the fire works across the Castle begins..

Then again there are attraction rides of the mad tea party which makes us go more mad, there s Alice in the wonderland, there’s tomorrow  land and not to forget there’s Snow white and Sleeping Beauty Castle walk through..There ‘s Winnie the Pooh and the flying elephant and not to forget Peter Pan's Flight. There are those cute toy train rides that takes us back to our childhood.All that we dream is present there as a whole bunch that we do not feel like getting out of the Merriest place.

The land is so very organized that we just need to go ahead and visit the same. In case we are stuck there are people who would guide us and then more than everything we have those Iphone and Android Apps which become crazily handy which has the updated wait time for all the fun activities and shows and based on that we can plan our whole visit.

Looking forward to visit the land of “The Lands” again and again in days and years to come to forget the present and live a dream- a dream which really comes true!!
