		<description><![CDATA[“Two tiny dots of islands and a crescent of golden sand, that’s my first glimpse of the Andamans from the planes. After that there’s only green, forest-covered island after island, separated by stretches of turquoise blue water – a colour that turns a little more solid and bubblegummy where there is reef underneath.”That’s the first [...]]]></description>

The first trip had been all adrenalin and scuba diving based. And the second one was its exact antithesis, comprising a whole lot of very [...]]]></description>

To start with, I cannot conceive of travel without at least a couple of books safely tucked away in my bag. Then the [...]]]></description>

Often, I’ve felt that it comes in the way of truly enjoying the place you’re at.

But much as we like to travel, it’s hard to find the opportunities to do it often enough, we [...]]]></description>

Where?
To Andaman &#38; Nicobar.Again?
Yep, I loved the place. I loved diving. But, most importantly, I had unfinished business at Havelock island.
Unfinished business?
I did many things when I was there earlier this year – I dived, I kayaked, I met people, I took photographs. What I [...]]]></description>

We start to see it as part of the commute, instead of the place of beauty that we saw it [...]]]></description>

It was quite dirty, but not as bad as I expected, clearing up rapidly as we drew away from the shore.It turned out to a very [...]]]></description>
