Yummy!
Authentic Turkish dishes at Al Andalus restaurant at Sukhumvit, Bangkok.
                                         
 This green tea flavored with mint leaves was excellent.



 Awesome soup, rice, and fish, yummy fresh salad!

How to animate a picture: add stars, floaties, glitter etc.

I created an animated graphical picture for the post on new year day. For this, I selected a picture of a chandelier that I photographed at the Dubai Mall. I thought of spicing it up by adding glitter, stars, and bling to it. I use http://www.online-image-editor.com when I want to add such things to a picture. It is an awesome website where you upload a picture and do whatever you desire. They have an impressive collection of glitters, stars, floaties etc. You can save time by uploading a small sized picture. The website will modify the size sometimes when you add some animations. Moreover, we can do the basic works also like re-sizing, add frames etc. Be careful with your picture's format, find out which one will work with your site. There is a provision for converting to many formats.

The picture of a palm tree at Deira, Dubai on this post was modified by adding rain floaties. A star was also added.

But when I want to do something elaborate and delicately I use Photoshop. Otherwise for simple works I prefer to make use of pic monkey and other similar online image editors like this.

Hope this post will help you to create beautiful and cool pictures!

Delicious dishes, good memories and an awesome airport!

Yummy...!

Friends, these are some of the pictures taken at KLIA -2 (Kuala Lumpur International Airport), Malaysia recently. Not many changes here since my visit about 4 years ago but it was thrilling to see everything again. I was hungry when I landed and decided to eat something from the food court. After browsing thoroughly and observing people buying food I decided to try this fish ball soup. I was right, Wow, delicious!

Interspersed with not so fierce red chillies, super cool broth, some vegetables and soft noodles this soup was simply great! It was very much filling too.

The ambiance was also good. Not much rush at that time in the afternoon and I sat there quietly and enjoyed this dish.

                 

Upon return, there was a lot of time to kill before catching Malindo Airways flight back home. Walked and walked every nook and corner of this sprawling airport, browsed each and everything at duty-free shops, bought some data for phone and spent time on it too, went to watch a movie being shown on an LED TV near one of the gates, dozed off and in between enjoyed these two delicacies. The first one is hot chocolate and the second is green tea. Nice, good memories😊

Elephant safari at Munnar, Kerala

Nestled in the serene western ghats bordered by the Nilgiris, the mountainous regions of Kerala, South India you will find Munnar, famous for tea plantations, cool weather and many more attractions like small waterfalls, beautiful gardens, and elephant safari.

The Carmelagiri elephant park is only a few kilometers from Munnar town and it is a must see tourist spot. Here you can ride the elephant of your choice, feed it and take photographs.

It was our long cherished dream to do an elephant safari like this! We actually got a chance when we visited Thekkady before, but unfortunately, it did not work out. But this time we made it happen😊

At the end of safari which takes about 20 minutes in the forest, they will hand over a basket-full of pineapples and corn that can be given to the elephant by sitting on top of it. Kamala, our elephant coolly collected it like this 😊. Awesome!


Well, this place is crowded almost always. So get there early so that you can enjoy the ride leisurely. Never forget to feed the elephants; they like it :) Well, they charge you for the photos which will be given to you, copied on CD's, but only their official photographer will be allowed entry into the trekking spot inside the forest. So they only will be able to get good snaps.

There are platforms built at a height from where you can mount on them easily. The trekking was smooth, but when the elephant negotiated the turn to return back to the base by climbing down a slope we were clutching hard on the handles! But it was fun😊

A great experience, indeed!
