One of my biggest attraction I find living in Germany is the connectivity. Yes, you heard it right. I don't have to travel 7 hours or so, just to reach one part of the same country. In just 4 hours, I find myself in a completely different country, who speak, dress and eat different than the Germans!

With Diwali celebrations just two days before my departure, I had absolutely no plans of what to do in India ( But I did have a list of to-eat itsems, lol ).  It was when S could no longer come after the check-in counter, I realized
