Andamans: The world away from the world
 
It’s not every day when you get to see something as mesmerizing as this one. The sea that looked like a huge crinkled emerald blue satin cloth, shining in the sun and flying with the wind. The dense tropical forests that cover almost every inch of the seemingly tiny islands, if you see the maps.
 
And if you walk across these forests and reach the other end of the island, you’ll see another beautiful beach. The beaches wouldn’t look the same when you come back in the evening. The water as if shows distinct boundaries marked with different shades of blue. Actually this shows abrupt depths of the sea bed. When you dive into the blue of the ocean, you’ll see colors! Fishes, corals, shells, sea urchins, weeds, rocks and everything imaginable under the sea.
 
The most amusing part of this expedition- poor phone networks! No 3G, no Wi-Fi! 2G only if you are lucky.
So, for once, why not travel without Facebook check-ins and without telling the world where you are? Keep your phone aside and capture the view. Look around and you’ll see what the world can actually offer. Trust me, it’s beyond your expectations. Travel can heal you, reform you, teach you and make you. And if travel can be like this one, well, what else do you need?
“There are times when you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. And yet, there are times, when in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.”
