Vacation Review
"Going through this vacation was like walking in a quaint
village, the bikes were replaced by bullock cart ride and Hamburgers
by Payasam and Uppumanga where as morning exercises had a sweeping
replacement, yet calming, by Yoga. Down south girls were much
prettier in their pleted skirts and oily hairs, and last but not
least, my body odour was replaced by aroma of coconut oil."
