The Yacht was passing by, and it’s slick and elegant design caught my eye. And bingo, I took out my camera and took this shot.

The Golden Temple is a Pilgrimage site visited by people all over the world. In Punjabi, we refer to it as “Harmandar Sahab”, which means “Abode of God”. It was built during the time of Guru Ramdas and Guru Arjan Das in 1589.
Along with being a Pilgrimage site, it is also a hotspot for photographers and photography enthusiasts. The Golden Temple looks ethereal at every time of the day. Here I’ll be showing you both the views.
I consider myself lucky because I got to click a picture with the lights on. We went at 6 AM and the lights were switched off just after I clicked the photo.

I stayed at Hotel Galaxy during one of my trips to Mathura. It was a pleasant experience. The room, food and service were good. Let’s show you the room and the food.
The rooms are comfortable and have basic amenities. The bathrooms are neat and clean.
For dinner you can either have thali or you can order from the menu. I had tried their thali because I prefer variety.
Breakfast can be served in the room as well. They serve many items for breakfast.
• They have corporate plans
• They have driver dorms
• The food is good.
• The ambience of their restaurant is good.
Heyy Everyone
In this blog post I’ll be telling about a rooftop cafe in Agra that you must visit. Desi cafe is located at Jeoni Mandi and offers good views of Yamuna river and Taj Mahal.
Let’s show you the around.
Guests are welcomed with a mocktail called “cute baby”. It is a mix of carrot, Tomato and chilly.
The cafe’s decor is based on the Aqua theme. Shades of blue dominate the ambience. It is built across 2 levels.
They serve a wide variety of eye catchy beverages.
They serve a wide variety of aesthetically pleasing veg and non veg dishes.
The desserts were also equally well presented. Shortly after our visit a unique dessert was launched “Red wine kheer”
I would rate the overall experience 4.5 out of 5. Chef Ashish Chandel is the brain behind this culinary fiesta. His hospitality will make you feel at home.
I visited a cafe in Galleria market in Gurgaon. I tried a different kind of dessert. It was “Rasmalai cheesecake”. It had alternate layers of cheese and Rasmalai with a base of crispy biscuit.
The smoothness of the cheese and the sweetness of Rasmalai made it the perfect dessert. It is garnished with Pistachios and Saffron.
