A summer in India

Summer of 2011, I visited West part of India. Couple of cities in state of Gujarat and Maharashtra. It was really great to be there. Being my home country, it always feels great to have childhood memories back. Summer was really hot. The temperature was used to be 42 Celsius (107 Fahrenheit). Although when it rains, it rains like crazy as well. But over all it was really fun and great experience.

Some beauties to admire!

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." - Confucius

View of North Point, San Francisco

When I was standing on the pier at North Point, I saw this beautiful landscape. I had no words rather than clicking these pictures and share with you to show the nature's beauty. It was simply incredible.

Golden Gate Park was amazing. This park is huge. It might take a whole day to walk through this park in order to take some amazing pictures. I wish I had more time to spend in the park. At the same time, it was getting really cold in the evening. I would say summer time would be best to visit.

View from the Twin Peak, San Francisco

"Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point." - Harold B. Melchart

We went to Twin Peak right before the sunset. Twin Peak have dynamic view of whole San Francisco. Beautiful is not enough to describe the beauty. We sat there and kept clicking pictures until the sun went down. It was mind blowing experience.

As we walked around in the City of San Francisco

"San Francisco itself is art, above all literary art. Every block is a short story, every hill a novel. Every home a poem, every dweller within immortal. That is the whole truth." William Sarovan

San Francisco is the city of the West. Its beautiful in all its aspects. These are some of the best snaps of the famous tourist spots. The whole city is incredible. So many things to see. Walking is the most efficient way to see the stuffs in the city. It was pretty tiring but at the end it was worth it.

Pismo Beach for Lunch @ PCH 1

While we were driving on PCH 1, Lunch was the biggest question. What would be a good place to stop by. As per our friend we decided to stop at Pismo Beach and to check out the best clam chowder in the town. The place is called "Splash Cafe". It was worth it!
