When your parents gave you birth doesn’t think about your future because it will be not in their hands, they only can give you a good, happy, joyful life and what you needed in your life when they are capable, if they are not capable to fulfill your desire then there will be a reason behind it, may be they will be a poor, or they are not that much literate to develop you in life according to the trends etc.

I am a part of that family who knows ideas of life but they doesn’t want to use in practically with no reason, till I get matured I dint understand what is the logic behind it, in this stress I was not able to complete my higher studies and got married, I dint even asked, what could I have asked when there is no reason, my parents also doesn’t have the answer about that and after my marriage also I dint even discuss with my husband and asked why it is happened to me, when I started my job then I realize slowly got the picture about these things.

The time I visited to Philippine in Aug07,it was very dry and I was to because I was about to meet my kids there after a long time, when I meet them also I was very happy, this happiness was only for few days, when rain started there and makes the climate very wet it was very much painful not because of rain , but the rain make the life miserable and very where you can see the pain of elders and the cries of the children, in that I lost my home partly, I went to my relatives home to take the shelter for some time, I went for a short period of vacation but I spend more than a month to recover everything which I lost in that rain.

           Its almost 10 months back we planed for to visit Los Angles to meet my grand parents, who was living with my uncle, we, means my family applied for a U.S visit visa and luckily got , after a few days we confirmed our tickets and started packing of our basic needs, like clothing and etc… I was very excited because its was my first out door international trip in my 20 years of life, so the day also came for departure from the Hyderabad international airport, I was having a flight in the morning around 11am which was via Bangkok, it was wide stopover in Bangkok, It was my first experience sitting in a flight and seeing the other international airports I loved Bangkok airport which is awesome.

          I loved vegetable food, so in the flight also I ordered the same which was very nice experience to have food in the air, served by the people who almost spends theirs life in the air, whose duty is to give broad smile always even if you get angry on them, and even if you call them 10 times for your small things and your silly questing to them, after reaching to the Los Angles airport it was my second exciting moment because I was at the world class airport from where you can buy the world class things. I spend almost 3 hours at the airport after my arrival, to see it briefly. You know you never seen such things in life and suddenly one by one comes on your way to look on, the feelings and the moments you cant simply describe on the piece of paper.

        At the airport on our arrival my uncle came to pick me up, I stayed in Yorbalinda, its was very unforgettable moments, after a year I was able to meet my grand parents there, I was very happy.

Every body use to call me Darshani, my full name is Priya, I am only the all alone daughter to my parents, so always wanted me to do what I like in life, when I finished my 12^th standard from Hyderabad, till that time I have seen the dream to be good doctor in life, but when my rank was not good, so not able to get a chance in Hyderabad, by chance I got a  medical seat in Karnataka university, since I am a medical student I divided my trip to Los Angles in two reason, so I wanted to see the advanced stage of medical sciences there, I visited some universities there and met the medical students to share the knowledge and new ideas with them, had a informative look of the hospital in practical, And I referred lots of study material.

Apart from this I was on my personal visit so with my cousins I have visited lots of places like California adventure, Universal studios, Hollywood and the Kodak studios were Oscar award use to be given. I have seen amusement parks, Disney land. We enjoyed lots, after my school days this was my first excursion trip, because when I was completed my 10^th standard I started dreams to make my career, there was no place of thinking other than that, I became book worm that time, with the my hard time unfortunately I dint got a seat in Hyderabad, so shifted to Karnataka to fulfill my dreams.

So on the way to all these things when I noticed the places how tidy it was I cant explain and the roads which we cant imagine in India. I tasted the varieties of food including Indian but with the different style , with the different look of the same food, with the different serving, I never seen the people through the waste on the roads, not on roads even on the side of the roads, the are well mannered in this.  

About their culture which I have seen there is only one better thing is no one cares what you are wearing or speaks to whom and so, they make them selves busy never waste their time, even don’t mind doing small jobs. In humanity case we are better but there, people hardly interfere in others matters. It was my only a month trip so I enjoyed a lots came back to our country with the new thoughts, new ideas with the new feelings which I can only say.

The Joy of Welcome ! Ireland

          Ireland’s popularity as a tourist destination is ensured by its famously easy going lifestyle, cultural heritage and breathtaking scenery.

          When I came to know Irish people are wordsmiths and Dublin’s native sons are writers George Bernard Shaw, who express the beauty of Ireland and many poets also inspired by the scenic beauty. Earlier also about these writers we use to read in our school or college syllabus but no practical knowledge.

         This is the things when I was 25years old first time I was going to Ireland to join in the population approximately 3.5 million for my further studies, Master in Travel and Tourism Managements after completion of my graduation from the University of Hyderabad. I started my dream from Hyderabad Airport, where I experienced lots of inconvenience when I am citizen of the same country because that time I doesn’t know the world,  only I use to go college and from there to home, or if getting time went to movies with friends, meaning when you are starting your dream in reality you should be aware of everything what would be the next step in life, but I started without any practical knowledge and experience of life, like wise I expected the same when I reached Ireland I don’t even know any body who can receive me, which is an Indian nature when ever you are going for a foreign trip for a visit or for a job, for a business, what ever will be the reason some body should come and send off or receive from the airport, but this will never happens when you go to foreign countries nobody is having that much time for these things.

       It was after noon when I reached to Ireland capital city Dublin, there was one thing which we have to face at airport who are not Irish or British citizens are required to carry a valid travel document, should carrying sufficient funds, if you are not able fulfill the requirements of immigration authorities they will send you back from the airport only,  and if you are carrying poultry products or raw material from outside then that will also another issue at the airport, which we are having the habit of carrying these kinds of things, so after clearing everything at airport as per my travel consultant instruction I hired one cab to go first to my university so that I can complete university formalities and can do arrangements of my accommodation. This was my second step of my dream first of all you will face the food problem in foreign countries and language. But Dublin is the Capital city so I dint face that much problem at least in language.    

     Its been called the land of saints and scholars and Ireland’s rich literary heritage resides in the capital Dublin, which is steeped in history and buzzing with youthful energy. Take a stroll along Grafton street in the heart of the city and you’ll find Georgian, Medieval and modern architecture happily co-existing and you will realize why it is one of Europe’s success stories. From financial services to rock music, business is booming and a notably cosmopolitan young crowd gathers in its many cafes and pubs.                                    

      Temple bar area comes alive at night and is well worth a visit. Like wise, Trinity College, Dublin is a major tourist attraction and houses the Books of Kells, a magnificently illuminated manuscript embellished by monks in the 9^th century. When you leave Trinity College, one statue you won’t miss is that of the city’s mascot who welcomes visitors to the main shopping areas. Aran sweaters, Irish linen, Water ford crystal and Donegal tweed are just some of the Irish specialties, which make unique souvenirs of your holiday. Personal walking tours of the city have been facilitated by Dublin Tourism who have launched and innovative series of audio guides. The summer months play host too many festivals, which reinforce the strong musical tradition of the island. As per the Dubliners you can’t travel far in Ireland without hearing music that could only be Irish. Within half and hour of the city centre you will find yourself in villages and small towns, which are as charming as the city is exciting. Stop off in some of the many pubs and restaurants and you will see why traditional Irish cuisine is the Island’s best kept secret. If you decide to discover the south coast with its beautiful beaches of Dingle and Iveragh, aim to be hungry in Kinsale. There will be a Eurailpass tourist who plan to take more than few train trips during a specified time without a set itinerary, purchasing of these passes are good for unlimited train travel Eurailpass or Eurail Youth pass can be an easy and economical way also.  

          This village is known as the Gourmet Capital of Ireland. No doubt you’ll also discover informal music sessions on your travels with fiddlers, flutists, pipers and the traditional players. This type of evocative atmosphere washed down with some local brews, usually adds up to a good night’s of fun in English.  

        For the sport enthusiast, Ireland has international reputation for horseracing and Galway race Week which will in end of July and the Dublin Horse Show begins in the month of August these two are the major events in social calendar. Ireland also has an international reputation as the Golf Mecca of Europe with the Lush parkland courses and breezy coastal links rated as some of the most challenging and beautiful in the world. The Old Course at Ballybunion in County Kerry is Tom Watson’s favorite; Lahinch in Country Clare was built by scots who wanted to be reminded of St Andrews, while the Royal Portush course in Northern Ireland is the only course in Ireland to have hosted the British Open and is a favorite with Tiger Woods. If your time in Ireland is Limited you will need to be selective. Dublin and the sunny southeast are the most popular destinations, but not to be overlooked are the unspoilt Aran Islands and the west of Ireland, where little has changed in the last one hundred years, giving visitors the sense of tranquility made famous by poems.

      And if you look on the food in Ireland there is lots of names which I also in the beginning not even able to pronouns but slowly I came to know some how what is what not with full fledge but some of the famous are Galway Salmon, Dublin Coddle, Ulster Fry and the Irish Stew are some of the delicacies of the Emerald Isle and Boxty, Barm Brack, champ Cruibins, Colcannon also and are the exotic names for the basic which have nourished Ireland for generations. The secret of their success is in their ingredients. Irish seafood from Dublin bay prawns and oysters to the salmon of Galway are known to the world over. Not surprising therefore that such a rich nutritional heritage has given way to some of the finest cookery schools in the world.
