Golden rays seeped in through the droplets as my daughter splashed away water in her moment of ecstasy. Through that split second, it spread across as a thin veil of transparency with the setting sun's rays reflecting through each drop as it spread.
She had never seen a sea which looked like a swimming pool...
Calm sea, without waves, water clear and spotlessly clean.
Fat chance that she would see that again for some time to come.
Cos, we were at Andamans...
The cluster of impeccably beautiful islands which arguably is one of the most beautiful destinations in the country.
Sea Fever
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
--John Masefield
Once you visit Andamans, you would never disagree with John Masefield. For, on those shores, you feel peace as soon as your toes touches the pure white sand. And the urge which draws you more and more into the ocean.
"Andamans- You can never get enough of it"
Blurted my friend when I first told him that I am coming over for a short visit of four days.

He was rather appalled. He couldn't digest it that I had planned only four days to meet up with uncle Andamans. I couldn't understand why.
I was soon to find out.
No sooner did I type in the search string, Mr Google threw me snaps in buckets and galore.
Soon I was searching for my phone to reach my travel agent to try and extend my bookings. Sadly, that did not materialize and I still had to make good with four days.
Nevertheless, I decided to make most of whatever time I had and set forth for the journey
