After an unusual hiatus from travelling, we will be venturing out to see a bunch of waterfalls. These natural wonders where one can watch water falling over some rocks were the first destinations we sought when we first discovered an entire world outside of our…
It was 1977, when I was just 6 years old, when Steven Spielberg released Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It was a phenomenal movie that grabbed my attention when I first saw it on TV. Two parts of that movie that grabbed my attention…
