A visit to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gurudwara_Bangla_Sahib\" target=\"_blank\">Bangla Sahib<\/a> brought a lot of peace and discovery of architectural beauty. We managed to sneak some time and visit Gurgaon, one of Delhi&#8217;s satellite city. The skyscrapers truly was an amazing sight to watch. Such a vast difference in contrast to Delhi. For photo viewing pleasures, I hope my blogging friend <a href=\"http:\/\/amreekandesi.com\/2009\/07\/26\/swanky-swankier-swankiest\/\" target=\"_blank\">AD would&#8217;nt mind me sharing this link of his thorough post about Gurgaon.<\/a> I am one of the luckiest to call India my home. Our home. As a backpacker once, I would love to enjoy the serenity of this country perhaps by joining a Yoga group or center in my next adventure! Majority of tourists flock to India for soul-searching.<\/p>\n<p>We got around to celebrate a couple of birthdays, lunches, dinners and it was so much of fun. We truly miss every one in India. A country bountiful of rich culture, diversity and heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Now we are back to US, wishing for our next adventurous trip. I hope it&#8217;s soon!
