Hello!
I write this post sitting in my hometown of Jalpaiguri. Now if I am being serious this isn't as much my hometown as much as it is my parent's hometown and my family home. I visit here once a year if I can manage it. The last time I was here in 2016 and last years I couldn't come here, so this year we, the sister and I were determined to come here and stay for Pujo.
I love coming here and just being a big lazy slob.
But there is a lot to do here. People to meet. Family to catch up on and gossip with. Places to go and hopefully head to the hills.
Got here yesterday after a whole day of travel. It's a four hour flight in total.
Mumbai- Guwahati- Bagdogra.
Then around 2 hours drive later we were home.
Here are some snippets of my travel day.
Early morning flights can be brutal! Leaving home at 4:30 AM is no fun. But seeing the sun rise and seeing it over the clouds is pretty neat.
Bye Bye Bombay!
See ya soon!
Cloudssss!

Scenes while driving home. Littered with greenery and mini tea-gardens. A treat to the eye.
Home!
Our home here is named after my Thamma (paternal grandmother) Nupur. I choose the name for our home here, my Dad couldn't decide on the name so I suggested naming it after my Thamma who built this home.
Flowers in bloom in my mother's little garden.
I love how this part of the world is so green and lush, it makes me so happy to see fields brimming with crops.
I am so thrilled to be home. I am all about getting a break from cooking and being an adult. It's so nice to have my parents around and being a kid again.
:)
