Places...

I grew up by the ragged coastline of Mumbai (Bombay) over looking the Arabian Sea, so when I sit back to make an imaginiary travel itinerary of the places I'd like to visit, it comes as little surprise that I would choose the places that have evolved by and around the sea side. As much as I like sitting facing the waters watching tirelessly at the waves and the sky ensemble, I have grown more interested in what lies at the back, for that is, I have come to beleive, the true essence of being by the ocean.

So without much thinking here's an arm chair list of seven places I'd like to visit. I have rearranged them below in a two part itinerary that can make pratical sense, had I to embark of this fascniating journey, someday!
