Raindrops drum a rhythmic tattoo upon the windowsill, as sombre dark clouds converge in the brooding sky. A silvery curtain of rain descends upon the earth, now covered with a lush, emerald carpet. Nature, hushed and reverent, yields to the monsoon’s solemn embrace. Yes, the country is in the throes of the monsoon. Dear friends, we hope you are enjoying the weather and the romance of the rains, which never fail to evoke poetic tendencies even in the most pragmatic person. In this edition, we have curated for you a list of romantic monsoon destinations in India. Apart from rain, trains have always held a timeless romance. We are sure that the thought of trains is enough to trigger an avalanche of memories – whispers of journeys, rhythmic wheels, fleeting landscapes, and stolen glances. They carry dreams, stories, and silences, where strangers become friends and journeys become memories, and every station holds a promise. We rekindle your memories of trains and train journeys in this edition with a curated list of the best train journeys in India. It is a matter of great pride for India that the incredible forts built by the Maratha Empire have now been inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Twelve of them have been grouped under the heading of, “Maratha Military Landscapes of India.” Read all about them in this edition. From the brave tigers of the Maratha Empire, we draw your attention to the tigers in India, as the world celebrates International Tiger Day on 29th July. This year’s theme is in itself a powerful statement, which says, “Their future is in our hands.” How much do you know about tigers? Test your knowledge with our quiz on tigers. On the 26th of July, we remember the bravehearts of Kargil on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Divas. They stood tall against all odds, defending every inch with unwavering courage, immortalising their sacrifice in the annals of India’s proud military history. Until we meet in next month’s edition, may your days be filled with happiness and your paths lead to new places. Wander far, return richer. Dreamy and Romantic Monsoon Getaways
