I was in paradise


So as you know that I am in paradise. Its totally fun here... beach parties, beach volleyball, snorkeling and sea food. Actually all of itI am doing first time in my life. The credit goes to mathilde because of her I am here.
We came here for new year, we wanted to go to Havelock island but missed our ship from port blair so we have to stay in port blair for last night of the year. There was another German traveller with us Sandra. she was sick so we went out for celebrate new year. In Port Blair we couldn’t find much happening because all the tourists must have left for Havelock but we found our own way, we went to a five star hotel and had some drinks in the bar and then we went to another five star hotel to enjoy the party. A great band from Bangalore was playing live music with dancers. It was great party there.
At around 10 pm we headed to beach by auto and came back to our guest house at midnight and spent my night sleeping in the balcony watching stars in the sky.
Finally we came to Havelock island an haven on earth. Long and clean beaches with big palm trees. Math is trying to teach me swimming. We had snorkeling here. It was first time in my life to see corals and fishes with my eyes in deep water. We went to elephant beach by tracking 30 mins in the jungle. On the way we saw disaster by tsunami.
(I wrote this when I was in Havelock. Key board of my laptop is not working now so will take some time for next post.)

Way to Andaman Nicobar ( Paradise)

                I am in flight now, never thought my wish to see Indian Island will come true that soon, But its happening now. I am very much excited to step on Indian land, away from India. I made math jealous by arriving first.
From the window of my plane, I can see the sea. The height of plane from sea level must be around 34000 feet and running around 600 nautical miles.....
The time is now 5:52 am,  a perfect time for sun rise and make my imagination into beautiful reality. I can see an amazing scene from my window. Its my first time enjoying sun rise from sky. My last most amazing experience of sunrise and sunset was from the last coastal tip of southern globe at Kaneyakumari, but this is beautiful and different in its own way. I am taking pictures of sunrise and the sea with my cell phone. Sea seems at peace but frozen. I don’t know what is the magic in this see, it looks like clouds on the earth or I am flying above the clouds .
I can not decide if I should focus on capture these moments in my camera and write the review or just keep looking at the magical beauty outside of my window, as I heard that Andaman is a paradise it seems promising now, as if this flight is much enjoyable then how will be the land? I guess amazing....
I should say thanks to Sandra for encouraging us and telling stories from her own experience of recent visit. Flying above the land of clouds making me imagine things like fairy tale, as angels could been seen here, riding horse buggies, or some ship or plane will go through soon, that’s why the clouds has been cut and this blank space must be roads. Sky is amazing and wonderful, we can not tell until we experience. I am just thinking how lucky the astronauts are, who go to space, how wonderful view it would be from the orbit of earth.
My flights captain has just announced that now we are flying on 31000 feet above sea level, a clear view of sea can bee enjoyed. Maybe Mathilde will miss all this, as during day sky won't be that beautiful or maybe more beautiful than now. But it would have been wonderful to being with her in same flight. When I see down it seems that as someone has scattered cotton in the sky. I wanted to go out and jump on it. why I can’t go out…! WHY I AM NOT A BIRD…! Why why why…….
It is a human nature that whenever we saw something like this our desires and imagination doesn't make any sense, sometimes we also forget that we don’t have any right to play with the nature…
Again our captain announced that we are very much close to Port Blair. And in few minuets we are about to land.
I am waiting for the moments when I will see Port Blair with my eyes, for what I have been reading since school. How beautiful it would be...
